Fabric is high quality, mind you not couture but worthy of a positive rewiew/ purchase. No buyers remorse here , probably will order another color. Order your normal size, there is still room to wear light layering. Purchased striped, and it's definitely that, buttons are somewhat brassy but I can work with it. Would recommend. Looks great with jeans or dressed up! As some other reviews mentioned you can wear it alone buttoned up or with light layers underneath. This is a good buy! * Yhis style is a throwback to the boucle jackets, timeless IMO . Will get alot of wear come cooler temps.
