Shopper Reviews
One five-star review said: "Soft fabric, love the colour and everyone comments on the sleeves! Bomber jackets are everywhere at the moment, this one is warm and stylish and also good value. Very happy."
A second shopper added: "Love this jacket. Only tried on, not worn yet but great colour, quality and smart. Looking forward to getting plenty of wear from this."
However, one shopper noted: "Great colour and bang on fashion. I really wanted to love this. but the material is very thick, and the balloon hem and sleeves, both elasticated rather than with a cuff, make it really bulky round the wrists and waist. Sadly, in those areas, plus the thick collar, it just didn't feel comfortable."
Other Jacket Options
M&S also offers the Borg Funnel Neck Jacket, priced at £40, which is currently the second-best-selling coat or jacket on the retailer's website. It is available in dark chocolate or ecru, in sizes extra small to extra large.
Elsewhere, New Look shoppers are praising a £32 bomber jacket, the Zip Through Windbreaker Jacket, rating it five stars for its fit, price and colour selection. The jacket comes in seven colours.
One shopper said of the Short Bomber Jacket: "Quite a trendy option for me. Love that you can unzip from top and bottom, as you can in some higher priced items. Nice feel to the fabric and its lined, for me always a bonus." The jacket can be purchased online or in store.
