Review on πŸ‘– Meraki Women's Standard Basic Denim Jacket: Must-have Wardrobe Essential by Khalilah Hightower

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Attractive denim jacket

The second half is medium and this medium-sized jacket fits her perfectly, so this jacket starts with the most important feature. However, one problem is that the jacket is stiff. A friend has washed and dried the jacket several times and it feels just as stiff as when it first came out. She hopes the jacket will soften with enough washes. The jacket has a very nice design. The front includes overlapping layers on each side that are very noticeable as well as stitching that helps enhance the front's appeal. In fact, the lush seams on the front and back are a real eye-catcher. The buttons are heavy and the buttonholes are reinforced. In fact, the buttonholes are so heavily reinforced that it is extremely difficult to insert and remove steel buttons from the buttonholes. The same goes for the buttoned pockets at the top front of the jacket. In fact, none of the outside pockets work. The case has two inner pockets big enough for the iPhone 8 Plus. Thank goodness there's a working bag somewhere! There are two adjustable straps on the back of the jacket that will reduce your waist size by about 3 inches or so. We appreciate that this jacket is very important for looks and very little for functionality. The jacket is very stiff, which means that it is difficult to move inside the jacket. Forget flexibility with this jacket. The outside pockets don't work. So when it comes to making a fashion statement, this could be the jacket for you. If the goal is to wear this jacket to work, maybe it's time to find a denim jacket with real pockets and some flexibility. Revain does not currently have a price for this denim jacket, so we are unable to provide a price estimate. In addition, we are afraid to guess the cost of this jacket. We hesitated in our estimate. We like the look of the jacket, but the downsides are the stiffness and lack of pockets. In fact, the second half has other denim jackets, extremely flexible and comfortable, with multiple functional pockets and buttons that are easy to close and open. If style was our only rating, this jacket would probably get 5 stars. We're about more than style though, we wear denim jackets to work when it's cold. The lack of pockets and the stiffness of a denim jacket that's considered "simple" are too many downsides to ignore. Accordingly, our rating is three stars. Just keep our comments in mind as others may be more interested in fashion than functionality. Much luck!
