just had it delivered- bought from J Lewis to save postage.

I really like it as a casual spring summer jacket to wear with jeans- but I can't help feel it is very over priced. It IS lined with cotton jersey in the body and sleeves.

Got 28 days to decide.

Comments on value?

It does look well- made and good quality, so should last a few years. If you really LOVE it and can't find anthing else similar and cheaper that would do, I'd go for it.

Ditto then!

I ordered the size 8 as I have short arms, tiny shoulders and am only a size 32C bust- it is a good fit but maybe a fraction on the tight side. Can wear T shirt under it but not a thick jumper. I might try the 10 in store if I can get out.

I am sure M&S or somewhere like Gap etc will do something similar but have not spotted anything yet!

oh dear - now gone from Mumsy to granny!

it does look slightly better in the flesh- it's more "crumpled"- but I am going to wait and see what the Autograph one looks like.

The kew one look like an old woman's coat and is over price. IMO. Sorry.
cheaper

Lovely things on that mango site Thanks!I rarely look there

Ok- it's going back. too £££ and not that wonderful. it DOES look better in the flesh- not quite so smooth and mumsy but not worth the money.
