I have the red version and it fits nicely, but the white one in the same size is too big in the upper arm and bust area yet the bottom half fits well. If I size down to XS the bottom part will be too small because the small just barely buttons.<br /> Your jacket fits you better than mine does. I don't think yours looks too big, especially if you wash it. I'm tempted to wash and dry mine but will probably return it and keep looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-629236 Sat, 26 May 2012 09:04:15 +0000 CocoLion 629236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks perfect. Everyone seems to go for these denim jackets quite snug these days but I like them fitting exactly like yours does. I would not bother with trying another size. How do you like the jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-629169 Sat, 26 May 2012 04:38:35 +0000 Meredith1953 629169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great to me! The question is how does it make you feel? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628729 Fri, 25 May 2012 18:13:51 +0000 christieanne 628729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denim always shrinks a bit no matter what the manufacturers claim in my experience. It isn't too big in all over fit and once you wash it, the fabric will unstiffen a bit and lay better. I say keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628658 Fri, 25 May 2012 16:55:40 +0000 Transcona Shannon 628658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a keeper! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628656 Fri, 25 May 2012 16:50:42 +0000 modgrl 628656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jacket is fab.

I think washing and drying is worth a try if you want to shrink it a bit. Otherwise, enjoy it because it looks cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628627 Fri, 25 May 2012 16:17:21 +0000 Anonymous 628627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taking everything into consideration, I think it looks fine! I would wash it in hot water and dry it in the dryer (if you use one) and go with it. I love the detailing on the front. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628379 Fri, 25 May 2012 06:06:06 +0000 bj1111 628379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lyn, the equivalent would be savers. there is one in the melbourne 'burbs. may be one in your area too?</p> <p>jacket actually loos good to me. seems to hang well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628360 Fri, 25 May 2012 05:37:01 +0000 fashionista 628360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am no help in this regard since I don't know about its shrinking.<br /> But I think the jacket is just perfect fit on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628357 Fri, 25 May 2012 05:33:54 +0000 Lyn D. 628357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Deborah, I am so confused now! It would be more economical to either stick with this size or exchange and sell if still not right I think.<br /> I hope all's well with you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628334 Fri, 25 May 2012 05:05:21 +0000 Deborah 628334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love for Angie to weigh in here.</p> <p>I actually like the jacket on you. The shoulders don't look obviously big in the photos. Generally I think the fit looks pretty good.</p> <p>Is it worth ordering the size down and then selling that one you decide not too keep on Ebay? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628331 Fri, 25 May 2012 05:00:17 +0000 Lyn D. 628331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your input!<br /> Yes Donna it is the Junior jacket in size Large. I think that in view of the general consensus and your post re. size differences it would be un-wise to exchange and risk the Medium being too small. Lesson learned. I will check-out the R.L. anyway! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628329 Fri, 25 May 2012 04:51:15 +0000 DonnaF 628329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is this the junior sized Jolt jacket? I bought the medium in red and it fit me very, very similarly. (I generally take a Petite 4 or sometimes a P2.) I tried the small but really couldn't get into it as it was significantly smaller EVERYWHERE. In fact, I was rather shocked at the difference. I eventually returned the jacket because I decided it was too intense a red for me and I wanted a closer cut since the Jolt was big enough to layer big time underneath.</p> <p>I later bought the petite Ralph Lauren red jeans jacket sold at Nordstroms. It is a slightly orange red with a bit of a faded look that suits me better and is cut slimmer. (The Nordstrom photo is TTL.) IMHO, neither jacket has that slim cropped cut of the stretch jeans jackets that go well with dresses. I think the Lauren jacket comes in white and is currently on sale. It is long sleeved.</p> <p>I've only tried on a handful of jeans jackets, but the cuts seem to be all over the map. I guess that's a good thing, but I wish each of us could wiggle her nose and the right jacket would magically appear. IMHO, the Jolt has an unusual cut. I think it looks better on you and me than on my teen daughter who has a more typically junior body. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628323 Fri, 25 May 2012 04:44:35 +0000 Lyn D. 628323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jen, I know it is so frustrating buying without being able to try both sizes when you are in-between. Thanks for the advice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628315 Fri, 25 May 2012 04:15:24 +0000 jen 628315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm an Australian too, and when I buy from Nordstrom, the postage is so expensive and the returns process is such a headache, I find it easier to sell it on Ebay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628312 Fri, 25 May 2012 04:10:32 +0000 rae 628312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shoulder fit is one of my big style priorities - I would personally size down because an un-tailored looking shoulder drives me bananas. I know shipping is a terror, but if you feel you ultimately won't wear it, then you're out the entire cost. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628277 Fri, 25 May 2012 03:18:12 +0000 ironkurtin 628277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks pretty darn good to me. I say no mistake, and enjoy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628275 Fri, 25 May 2012 03:09:53 +0000 Lyn D. 628275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Goldenpig, I don't mind the sleeve length, it is mainly the shoulders that are concerning me and just that niggling feeling- what if the size smaller is perfect! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628271 Fri, 25 May 2012 03:02:15 +0000 goldenpig 628271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It doesn't look too big to me. </p> <p>Are you OK with the sleeves not being full length? I bought a Jolt jacket in red but haven't decided if I'm keeping it, because the sleeves are cropped--too long to be elbow length but too short to be full length. I'd have to roll them to make them elbow length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628263 Fri, 25 May 2012 02:52:10 +0000 CK 628263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, I think the jacket looks like a fairly good fit! I would not send it back. As velvetychocolate points out, a size smaller might end up too small. I think you look great in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628259 Fri, 25 May 2012 02:43:53 +0000 Lyn D. 628259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Mo, but unfortunately we don't have Ross stores here:(<br /> I do like your jacket though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628258 Fri, 25 May 2012 02:43:03 +0000 velvetychocolate 628258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that I've seen the right-sized photos - I think it looks pretty good! The jacket isn't necessarily 100% perfect, but in my opinion - it's fairly close and you shouldn't feel bad at all. It's a nice jacket on you, and I would *not* spend the extra money in return shipping costs, plus re-ordering and subsquent shipping costs to get it totally perfect. If you tried to return it and spent the extra money on shipping costs, and ordered a size down - it's entirely possible that the size down might be too sized down, if you know what I mean. </p> <p>This jacket is pretty perfect if you ask me. No, it's not like it was custom-made just for you, but I think it looks very good. </p> <p>Here's hoping Angie and others see this post, because I think the jacket is really nice on you, and that even though it's not 110% perfect in the shoulders, it's still fabulous. It's not an error at all - in fact, I think this is as close as you can get in terms of it being cropped in just the right place, and it fits you quite well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628257 Fri, 25 May 2012 02:41:08 +0000 catgirl 628257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It doesn't look too big to me - it looks like a great fit! I bet it will shrink a little but not much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628253 Fri, 25 May 2012 02:35:51 +0000 Amy 628253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could try adding a shoulder pad...much cheaper than shipping, I'm sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628248 Fri, 25 May 2012 02:32:56 +0000 Mo 628248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this may or may not help, since I don't know if there are Ross stores in your country, but I found a similar jacket in the juniors dept. at Ross for $13. I wear a petite small in ladies, but got a medium in this jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628242 Fri, 25 May 2012 02:22:17 +0000 Lyn D. 628242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>O.K. after quick tutorial from Hubby, here are some better pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628236 Fri, 25 May 2012 02:04:34 +0000 Anonymous 628236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is big in the shoulder but I'm not sure if sizing down will resolve it. I think the jacket is cut with a more generous back. I'm hoping others will shed better light. It's harder to advise given the added shipping cost. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jolt-white-cropped-denim-jacket--an-expensive-error#post-628215 Fri, 25 May 2012 01:31:53 +0000 Lyn D. 628215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll try to rotate them.
