Let me start by saying this jacket is a STEAL for the price. I snagged the X-small (after sizing down from Small based on reviews) and it fits like a dream post-wash. The high-stretch denim moves with you – no stiff, boxy feel here!

The pockets are a major win: two cute flap ones outside plus two surprisingly roomy inner pockets perfect for stashing phone/keys while traveling. I wore this nonstop during a European trip layered over tees and thin sweaters – it’s lightweight but substantial enough for breezy evenings.

**Watch out for:** Sizing runs slightly large (order down if between sizes) and some batches have a chemical smell (mine faded after one wash, but a few reviewers had persistent odor issues). The sleeves run long on petite frames like mine (5’2”), but the adjustable side tabs help customize the fit.

**Pro tip:** Check price fluctuations! I paid $33, then saw it drop to $20 later – classic Amazon. For under $30 though, this beats fast-fashion denim jackets hands-down in comfort and durability. Even my picky husband approved, and that’s saying something!
