Definitely an essential jacket for athletic-wear & flattering
Special Size Type: Full Zip, Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
Great quality for a great price! I was looking for a versatile athletic jacket to run in that fits over light tops & found this on Amazon. There were only a few left so I grabbed it right away, so glad I did! It's warm enough for early fall, I live in NC so I will probably use it throughout the winter too bc it's warm here. I feel like the arm length is a bit long & the sleeves a little bit tight under LS Tops but are meant to be. This is a form-fitting jacket, it does run small. I usually have to size down from an XXL to an XL in Amazon Essentials clothing bc they run big but this jacket fits me in my regular size XXL. I tried to find this type of jacket at a few different places & already out of stock in October! If it's available, buy it! You'll love it! I hope more colors are available in the future!

Nice looking and soft
Special Size Type: Full Zip, Size: XX-Large, Color: Slate Grey
Soft fabric and great color (grayish purplish/bluish). Pants fit nicely, but I may have been able to size down just for how high I can pull them up and them slipping down. On the other hand, I wish the jacket was bigger. It fits probably like it’s supposed to but you can definitely see every lump on my stomach. I will wear it unzipped. The material is medium weight, very stretchy, and nice. I do think it will probably pill- it just seems like things I’ve had that do. I won’t dry it. I’m 5’4” and weigh 195.
