Review on Charles River Apparel Englander Waterproof Women's Clothing by Allison Jones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is the worst jacket.

I'm 5'10, size 14/16, long arms and hips 47". SIZE: I chose to follow the size chart to close the bottom of the jacket around my hips can, and 2XL did STYLE: The inner lining of the jacket is smaller than the outer fabric, which creates a very baggy look due to trapped air. The outer fabric doesn't stick to the lining. The arms are quite long. The zipper is plastic and awful. I've tried zipping 3 times in a row and got stuck trying to zip up.The adjustable hem is a joke and isn't in a place where both hem sizes could be tightened (i.e. both sides of the cord). This means that either the back of the jacket is tight against the buttocks or the front (uncomfortable).FABRIC: If you like a 1 mile thick crumpled waterproof Carry plastic bag, this is the ticket. I'm surprised at how THIN and fragile the fabric feels, meaning an armpit tear will grab something. Untenable. GENERAL: Absolutely the worst jacket I've ever seen. I don't understand why there are so many rave reviews! The fabric feels thin and flimsy, doesn't lie flat next to the lining. The zipper and adjustable hem are a breeze. The positive side is the size and length of the arm. Returned.
