I purchased 2x Shelter Jackets as I love this colour way. The reason I ordered 2 was because for years PE nation Sizing is confusing to me. I got a Medium ( apparently a 10 AU) and a Large ( apparently a 12 Au) and both were really big. The jacket itself is really boxy, all square basically.. and the elastic strings on waist is to draw the waist in to create the hourglass/ fitted silhouette . Unfortunately even the size M was too big! And I’m not a small girl! I would say I’m a size 12 with large bust.
So, I hope this helps for anyone wanting info about the jacket before purchasing. I’m not being negative about the jacket itself, love the brand.. just thought I would give my 2c as I had found it on sale.
Love the colour way but another point I wanted to make is , what is with the name “ Marine Blue “?? The jacket is black with red and dusty pink unless I’m blind?
It’s also cropped. So if you don’t want or like cropped jackets, this would not be the one for you.
Very flattering once pulled in with the elastic on waist, but if that elastic broke or something happened to it, you would be left with an extra boxy square jacket.
Thanks for reading this far and the 3 star rating is due to what I stated above as well as price for what you are getting.
Definitely advise to buy on SALE .
