Plaid Perfection Quilted Jacket

I had high hopes for this jacket - a classic glen plaid styled into an informal silhouette suitable for work. The little puff at the shoulders was a bit too precious but I could have ignored that if the rest of the garment had been as pictured. The back is not a tailored shirt tail. It is not longer in the back as pictured in the side view. The front tends to hang longer than the back — giving a rather frumpy appearance rather than the slightly sporty look featured in the side view.

Overall I liked the fit and style of this jacket. A couple of things to note as the item description (as of today) is missing key info. 1) The shoulders have a pleat that make them more of a puff shoulder. 2) There are shoulder pads which are attached by 2 flimsy stitches. 3) The fabric is susceptible to snagging. 4) The comment that this jacket is lined is misleading. The jacket does not have an actual lining. If this was a $50 jacket, I might have bought it despite the above, but the quality does not warrant the $198 price tag.
