Marks and Spencer has launched a Suedette Button Through Short Jacket that has quickly become the number one best-selling item on its website. Priced at £55, the jacket features a smart wide collar and button-through front, cut to a regular fit with a waist-length hem. It is available in 'grey blue' and olive colours, with sizes ranging from 6 to 24.
Shopper Reactions
One shopper described it as a "Boxy fit, very on trend, feels lovely and can't wait to wear in the autumn." Another buyer said: "This a classy jacket. I bought the olive version and it looks expensive. Think it will go with lots of autumn colours. It's a bit too warm to wear at the moment but looking forward to wearing in cooler weather!" A third added: "Autumn ready now. Perfect little jacket, very nice. Good value. True to size." However, one shopper noted: "This was a bit long on the sleeves for me (but I'm 5ft 3) and I thought the collar was disproportionately big, so I returned it."
