I've always had a thing for naval-inspired clothes. Okay, maybe I didn't start raving about their glory the day I was born, but their grandeur was certainly my favorite topic from the time I was a few days old. Yes, of course I can remember that - no comments from the peanut gallery! This age old adoration makes it no secret why I love this navy, naval jacket. I know that I'll look shipshape wearing this lined, wool blend jacket over a cute tent dress. Yep. Once I button this blazer's ornate, crest-adorned, pewter buttons, I'll be in command of a great look. The graceful, swooping cut of its front and the kick pleat at its back will give me a cute silhouette, while its decorative red piping and mandarin collar will give me a look that's all 'a-boat' looking streamlined. There are oceans of possibilities when it comes to styling this jacket. For an afternoon at the docks, I'll slip this on over my boot cut jeans and a lace-trimmed cami. Or, for a more formal occasion, I'll wear this open, over a chiffon dress paired with kitten heels. Yet again, I might don this for a costume party. With a pair of white slacks and a skipper hat, this jacket would sure make everyone 'stam-marine' in awe. This is one jacket I'll always love - for me, styles this superb will never be a fleeting fancy. -Hannah, Fashion Writer

I adore this jacket! Good quality, medium weight fabric - I wear mine over a cream lace dress & it looks fabulous! It runs quite small - very narrow across the shoulders, so if in doubt, size up.
I love this jacket. It's really well made and even actually surprisingly warm, without being bulky. It's great to layer under a fall jacket on colder days. I am very petite and the small fits me perfectly, but you may want to order one size up if you're on the fence because the shoulder width is narrow.
This was my first purchase from Modcloth, and I am completely satisfied.
