Angie's recent blog post really hit home, because I have been searching for a utility jacket for the last few years. I have tried ones from Gap, Old Navy, Eddie Bauer, and a few other places, but none of them have worked, even though this is SO my style. My problem is, I am petite, busty, broad shouldered and short waisted. So, the jackets with epaulets on the shoulders or big chest pockets (most seem to have one or the other!) don't usually work for me. Also, I prefer them somewhat fitter or with a cinched waist (rather than belted) - too boxy and they seem to overwhelm my small frame.
If anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears!
