Me again:) I hate to divulge this, because I'm supposed to be on a careful shopping plan, but.......I snapped up this beauty (see pic below) the other day on an incredible sale at a local boutique. Was not looking for it at all, but the owner "made me" try it on, and I fell in love. It's a cotton/linen blend ( I think) - and skews a bit summerier, but is it black, and not so obviously cotton-y that I plan on wearing it year round. This one is actually 2 full sizes up than i usually wear, and a size bigger than my other Smythe. There was only one left in the store and I ignored it at first because of the size. The store owner tells me that the girls at Smythe know their sizing is "off" but it is what it is. Anyways - I don't care at all about wrinkling - it adds to the charm of a linen jacket. Ordering from ebay could be dicey unless it's returnable , or unless you've tried it on in a store and are sure of the size. They really differ even from style to style.
