Back in the Roman reviews for the jacket, one shopper said: “Lovely lightweight jacket, with a good length, and nice deep pockets. Showerproof, so perfect for spring/summer days in the UK.”
A second review read: “The light weight feel of it looks and feels amazing and it’s just a little bit longer which is nice and the fit is always perfect.”
A third fan said: “Great coat, lovely fit and looks smart for everyday wear, so pleased with this item that I bought two, one black and one blue.”
A fourth review read: “Love the coat, nice colour and material, good style and fits perfect. I like how it pulls in at the waist. Its not warm enough for winter months its more for cool weather.”
However, one shopper did note an issue with the colourway, which was reflected in a review which read: “A lovely jacket but not the colour as advertised. The colour online was indigo, a lovely blue. The jacket that arrived was navy blue.”
