lix23's Reviews
With the heathered look and feel of wool, this jacket's recycled poly/organic cotton fabric blends the technical benefits of a soft shell with the soft texture of natural fibers. Treated with a DWR for water resistance, it's a comfortable blazer with a casual vibe.

This jacket is beautifully made and stylish, but the sizing is off--it's too small for wearing over a sweater (which I would expect to do with a winter, somewhat sporty jacket of this sort). I'm a woman but I tried ordering this because often men's jackets fit me better, but the small size was too small (usually I'm swimming in a men's small in other brands). The fabric and details were nice though.

Cons: sizing
The natural warmth and vintage style of tightly woven wool flannel combines with a weather-resistant polyester laminate in a slim-fitting, pea coat-inspired blazer that insulates, protects and flatters — all at once.

This jacket is beautifully made and stylish and seems practical. BUT The sizing is off--it runs way too small for wearing over a sweater (which I would expect to do with a winter, jacket of this sort). We are not all Twiggys, and although I am by no means fat , the medium size barely buttoned up (over a thin T-shirt). Also, although I love wool fabrics, this was unpleasantly scratchy on the neck where it's not lined.

No, I do not recommend this product.
Bridge the gap between arcing turns and turning heads. Complete with a waterproof/windproof/breathable recycled poly shell, the Urbane's distinct silhouette is beauty, performance and sustainability, incarnate.

I wish this jacket fit. It's beautifully made and stylish, interesting looking and seems practical. BUT the sizing is way off--it runs way too small for wearing over a sweater (which I would expect to do with a winter, sporty, cycling-type jacket of this sort). We are not all Twiggys, and although I am by no means fat , the size large would only fit over a thin T-shirt. Bizarrely, the shoulders and arm length were perfect, even though usually my wide shoulders make this area often problematic. The whole midsection barely zipped up, and there was no appreciable stretch to the fabric, either, despite claims in the description.
