Actually FITS the tall and busty among us... gorgeously!
I am downright STUNNED at how well this jacket fits.
I'm 5'10", 36F bra, size 14/16 pants, with decently broad shoulders. Being built like an Amazon woman is usually a recipe for sadness when ordering clothes online, but I took a chance with the XXL.
It is AMAZING. It is a nice weight, the sleeves are long enough AND wide enough that I am not sausage-like in the upper arms or constrained in the shoulders. The stretch of the PU leather is essential, and the look of it is exactly the "just like leather" visual that I always hope for with cruelty-free stuff. The hoodie part is soft and the jacket lining feels nice. It looks and feels outstanding left open, but it zips up at the hoodie layer and at the 'leather' layer. ("It zips up" is a SUPER EXCITING SENTENCE for us 36F gals.)
The only concern I have is that when zipped at the hoodie layer, it pulls from the attachment point at the 'leather' layer, making the seam between the two obvious and killing the two layers illusion. This is solved by either zipping the leather layer, or leaving the whole thing open. I might eventually go at it with hem tape or something, but for now, being left open 100% suits the vibe of the jacket and I'm happy with that.
If you're crossing your fingers for a perfect effortlessly edgy vibe, I recommend this jacket without hesitation. And if you've been burned by being an Amazon-sized gal in a 'ships from China' sized world, you'll be thrilled to know that this one won't let you down.
