My friend and I have 16 in our closets. We have been purchasing and using these jackets since they first came out at least 10 years ago. We still have several of the originals with the white stripes. We keep several in our cars in case we find ourselves needing extra warmth. They are the perfect easy to care for wear around the house or town in all seasons except winter which requires the LLBean Comfort Fleece.
This jacket is great for me. The petite, medium fits true to size. A medium fits over a long sleeve shirt, not another sweater. It is lightweight yet sturdy. The fleece is not on the inside, but has a type of liner. It is not for colder weather all by itself. I would like numerous other colors too. Mine is the Twilight.( a rich turquoise color). Very nice!
