Review on Tanming Epaulet Buttons Outerwear Jackets Women's Clothing for Coats, Jackets & Vests by Latonya Campbell

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Interesting item

Love this jacket; This is one of those quirky creative designs that occasionally pops up randomly in East Asian fashion. good quality denim; stretches well, but at the same time is quite heavy and decently warm. This is a *long* jacket, especially for short people; I'm 5'6" and size XS is open to the knees (to mid-thigh when fully buttoned up). more the style of a trench coat than a 'jacket'. Reminds me of my lab coat. Cons : The buttons are poor quality metal (not even sure if they're all metal) and they rattle when they move. Sounds like a pukka shell necklace. It takes a little getting used to. Also, they're too big for buttonholes, so buttoning buttons is a cumbersome process that I don't take lightly.It's actually easier to wear it open all the time than to resist.Perhaps at some point I'll ask the tailor to replace them with more functional ones. The included belt is cute, but its buckle is incredibly flimsy and has little function, I also need to be replaced before it can be used to accommodate different types of belts in case someone wants to change places. Unfortunately, the bags are not particularly ergonomic. Difficult to get into chest pockets due to little space between top flap and vent (flap gets in the way all the time); They're also higher on the chest than a typical breast pocket, so I find them awkward to reach. The side pockets are also too high to be comfortable; They're also flat and thin and things tend to fall out (awkward putting my phone in there). Again, a tailor could have easily repaired this, but this is just another feature of the garment that isn't really ready for use. But even with those quirks, this is a unique design that looks and feels pretty cool. will hold up decently well for a long time. Without the buttons I would have given it 5 stars; The rest of the minuses are expected from all women's clothing in general. Overall I'm very happy - bets on weird things like this don't usually pay out that well.

Pros
  • Machine washable
Cons
  • Not as good as advertised
