I've been looking for years for the perfect jacket. Living in SoCal, I needed something light-weight, no hood, and easy to slip on and off over my tops, hopefully lined. I wanted something simple that would go with everything. This jacket took my breath away when I saw it, and I ordered it in pewter even though it wasn't lined. I've been wearing it now for a few weeks and I love it!! It doesn't need a lining, because the material is silky, and just slips on easily over everything I wear with no bunched up sleeves in the arms. I am so happy to have a jacket that is perfect and looks good on me. I put a pretty pin on it to make it look a bit more feminine. So far I haven't worn it zipped up, but I have zipped it in front of the mirror and it works great and looks great. The right pocket is double, two pockets in one, which was a fun surprise. I highly recommend this jacket, as you can see.
