Olivia moon linen bomber

I know greenglove has this jacket. Has anyone else tried it? I'd like a plain, light colored non blazer topper and think this might fit the bill. TIA!

I bought this last year in olive and returned it. I loved how soft and comfy it was, but unfortunately it was too short in the torso for me. I was looking for the exact same thing as you. Worth a try - especially on sale! I like the light colour of this one too. Of it weren't for the shorter length I'd snap it up.

I have no experience with this topper, but wanted to chime in that it's very much your style And it looks comfy!

Thanks, Jackie! I'm vertically challenged so maybe it is worth a try. Do you remember how the sizing ran? I'm typically a Medium at gap.
@lyn: thanks! I really like the bomber style. I'm giving my blazers a rest these days.

I don't know about the sizing on this item, but I bought the Olivia Moon linen blazer and it ran very small. I ended up with a Large Petite.

I'm guessing maybe I had purchased last year's model bc I don't see my review on Nordstroms (I was trying to tweak my memory). Sizing was pretty TTS, I probably would have bought the small as I tend to be a 6 in jackets. I'm usually a small or medium at Gap (I have long long arms & torso but narrowish shoulders). You'd probably be ok with medium depending on how you want it to fit. Since the look is more and more fluid maybe try a large as well? Really looking forward to seeing this on you!

Thanks, MsMary. I'm definitely steering clear of the blazer. It sounds very likely that it will not fit. I was thinking the OM bomber might be a little more forgiving in the shoulders and arms. Unfortunately, they don't have it in my local store to try.
Thanks, Jackie! I have tried other OM jackets and am usually between a small and medium. I think medium would be my safest bet.

I saw your title and I thought, ooh, Kelly bought this one! I admired it in the store (didn't try it, though) and could definitely see it on you! It's such a cool style--casual with a little polish.

Thanks, Firecracker. My store never has anything that I want--or everyone else buys it before I get there!

HAH. Yet you are a very polished and neat UWP to my eye. Size up.

I confess to heating up the iron every now and then. Body heat doesn't always release wrinkles, unfortunately. I always try the body heat method first though

Sizing up! Thanks!

Good luck. I tried this one as well as the Caslon unlined linen blazer in the store this week and neither worked for me. I hope you have better luck. Def size up as others mentioned.

Thanks, abc. What didn't work for you if you don't mind me asking? Shoulders/arms ill fitting?
