Review on Women'S Corduroy Shirt Jackets With Pockets - Long Sleeve Button Down Blouses Tops By Minibee by David Crawford

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good but.: my feedback

Pros - Thick quality fabric. Color is just right. This would make an excellent outer layer for the fall or spring.Cons - Usually wear a large. Ordered an XL hoping to get it a little oversized and I should have gone up to an XXL. It fits, but isn't as roomy as I was hoping for and the sleeves are on the verge of being too short. That in itself would be ok, I could make it work, but I took away two stars for the strange odor. It's like kerosene or exhaust. Something petrochemical-ish that I can't quite identify. I gave it a wash figuring that would get rid of the smell - like maybe this was some kind of treatment to keep the fabric from mildew or bugs while in storage, but no dice. The smell is still there and strong enough that I don't really want to wear the shirt. It's now outside on the line with the hope that sunshine and fresh air can do what the washing machine could not. I'm bummed about it because it could be a nice shirt. So, if you have the secret to remove strange and persistent odors, or feel like taking a chance, this is a great shirt. Order one size up for more fitted and two sizes up for a looser, jacket like fit. If you are sensitive to smells, you might want to see what else is out there.

Pros
  • The Button Down feature adds a classic touch to the jacket, which never goes out of fashion.
Cons
  • The jacket may not be suitable for individuals with vision impairments
