Popular Post petitepedal ★ Posted December 28, 2021 Popular Post Share #1 Posted December 28, 2021 Not world class..but $70 on sale and should be good for a couple of years..I struggle with sleeve length..found one I liked a bit better only $120...but the sleeves were long...very few companies make petite jackets..so I have to watch the sleeve design and hope for the best. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted December 28, 2021 Share #3 Posted December 28, 2021 One of my eye doctor appointments I was finished and put on a jacket and was walking up the sidewalk towards my brother’s truck and noticed the sleeves were way short. I went back and found one on the other end of the coat rack that fit perfectly. The blind people that I’ve known get around so well. I don’t know how they do it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My attitude is that a jacket’s job is to keep you warm. That’s what I want when I buy a jacket. I don’t really care how I look. How many ways can you polish a turd? Ya know? But that’s just me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at 6'3", a couple of the jackets I got have sleeves too long - you'd think the makers would want to save on material. One is a $6.97 windbreaker with no lining that I love because it's light and comfortable if it's in the 50's and windy or damp. But, I wouldn't wear it if I had to do handle anything complicated.

Longjohn ★ Posted December 31, 2021 Share #19 Posted December 31, 2021 One time the forge bought Lands End jackets for all their employees. The CEO was passing them out as I was coming into work. He asked me what color jacket I wanted and I told him it doesn’t matter because it won’t fit anyway. He said it will fit, he ordered them all in extra tall size. I laughed and thought it was a funny comment. The next day I noticed all the little guys coming in to work wearing their new jackets and their hands were up inside their sleeves.
