Ladies Core Shell Jacket

5 stars out of 5 stars

True to size. Very soft on the inside. It's still summertime weather, but feels like it would keep you very warm in the winter.

runs small

3 stars out of 5 stars

I ordered the same size as all my other jackets I wear, and it was too small.

Great fall jacket

4 stars out of 5 stars

Perfect jacket for fall temperatures. Runs slightly small at the hips, otherwise a great fit through the chest, shoulders, and waist.

I had previously purchased Port Authority products. Quality is excellent.

Runs small

4 stars out of 5 stars

I usually wear a medium but it runs a size or a size and a half smaller. I couldn’t wear it. Beautiful jacket though.

Deanne - 01/22/25

A comfortable jacket

5 stars out of 5 stars

This jacket is perfect for Florida weather this time of year. It is soft and comfy on the inside, durable on the outside. I couldn't be more pleased with this.

MH - 05/08/24

Size was way off/wrong

3 stars out of 5 stars

Very nice jacket but was not an XXL as marked. It was much smaller. It fit my daughter who wears a M or L.

Beth - 04/03/24

Stiff start

4 stars out of 5 stars

Very stiff and almost returned but then thought, maybe it will be better after washing it. Washed once and it is better. I expect it will get even softer with a few more washes. Otherwise, a nice medium weight jacket. Sleeves are a bit long for me (5’3” and size medium) but look nice rolled because of the black edging.

Runs a little small

5 stars out of 5 stars

Very fitted like a lot of women's clothes are so I wouldn't really say it runs small?

Kellie - 11/25/22

Great Jacket

5 stars out of 5 stars

Love this jacket, repels water, but keeps you warm. Sturdy zippers, fits true to size.

WolfSteel Buildings - 11/22/22

Great quality and warm

5 stars out of 5 stars

Perfect material, warm, used for company jackets gifted to employees.

Heather - 08/28/22

Size is WAY off and sleeves too tight

1 star out of 5 stars

The jacket itself is nice, but the sizes are way off! Most people buy a jacket one size up but in order to get this one to fit you’d need to go 2 to 3 sizes up. The sleeves are incredibly tight and hardly have any give in them at all. Unfortunately, our school orders these jackets and has them embroidered with our logo so exchanging for a larger size was not an option.

Debbie - 05/22/22

Runs small

Had to reorder 2 sizes up to get correct fit.

Great for spring. Love ruched sleeves and collar.

Coastal Golfer - 04/06/22

Good choice

5 stars out of 5 stars

I have a navy blue Port Authority soft shell jacket and bought the red one to spread out the wear use. The new jacket is slightly more snug but still fits well. I wear a size 6 dress and slacks and have a size medium Port Authority jacket. The jacket is fitted so I wear it over a blouse or t-shirt. Delivery took 2-3 weeks. The jacket is a very good value - a good choice!

Doris - 04/02/22

REALLY RUNS SMALL

3 stars out of 5 stars

The jacket itself is great, but it really runs about 2 sizes smaller than what I ordered. I am going to have to return it to the company for an exchange to a larger size.

Black Jacket

2 stars out of 5 stars

Jacket made in China or Korea. It runs 2 size smaller than what the tag says. So my 2X was actually a Large. The arm holes were tight at the armpit.

Deb K - 05/27/21

Terrific jacket

5 stars out of 5 stars

The jacket has a nice feel to it, washes wonderfully, and is nicely tapered.

Runs narrow for sizing

3 stars out of 5 stars

Did not run true to size. Very straight up and down. Fit properly in shoulders but too narrow in hips.

activeMOM - 01/06/21

Cuter than I expected. Great value for quality and style.

5 stars out of 5 stars

I ordered this jacket for ranch work and riding. It's so fashionable with the way it is fitted, yet roomy enough for a sweater underneath! The True Royal is a beautiful shade, and the quality of the fabric is smooth and soft, inside and out. The high color can be worn up or down, and keeps out the cold wind. I ordered a L so I could put a sweater under, and it's not overly big; I'm 5'4" 130 lbs.

Donna - 12/22/20

The color you show is not the same as the "real" garment. Also, the fabric is very stiff.

Sizing is difficult to gauge

3 stars out of 5 stars

The 2XL is too big - arms hang too far past hands, shoulder area droops because it's an improper fit so I returned and went for the XL. The XL is too small - tight at the waist, shoulders and sits too high above hips. Disappointed that I cannot find a proper fit.

Nice fitted jacket

5 stars out of 5 stars

This jacket has a nice look that is fitted. If you don’t like well-fitted jackets I recommend a size up. I bought this with the intention of wearing it at work. The outer shell feels waterproof, so it’s a little stiffer than what I intended. The inner fleece is nice. I can wear it at work but this seems to be more of an outdoor jacket.

MAC - 12/25/19

Great Jacket

5 stars out of 5 stars

Great Jacket, make you feel warm but not too hot and you are able to move in it. If you are looking for something not too bulky that will also serve as a little of a windbreaker, that can be embroidered and/or heat press looks no farther. Great buy for the price as well.

Jennifer - 12/13/19

Very Small Sizes

1 star out of 5 stars

I normally wear L shirts and XL jackets, but I got a 2XL and it is so small I can't get it on, so I will have to get a 4XL, which makes me feel like I must be a whale. Why are the sizes so small?

Mariam - 12/12/19

Exactly What I Was Looking For

5 stars out of 5 stars

I love this. I'm 5'5 and 125lbs and I wanted a jacket that was snug so I got a small. Usually I wear medium so I recommend that if you want a regular fit. But it came out exactly how I wanted it to. And it looks great. 10/10 would recommend and worth the money.

Not true to size

2 stars out of 5 stars

This jacket runs very small, I would order at least one size up. It's a jacket so most people don't want it tight. I ordered a large thinking it would be loose and I need to return it for an XL or maybe even a 2XL. The sizing is way off.

Perfect work jacket

5 stars out of 5 stars

I am in and out of hospitals and clinics every day of the week and desperately needed a jacket to keep me warm going from office to office. This softshell jacket is perfect! Wind doesn’t penetrate it and the fleece lining gives me added warmth that I love while still looking professional.

too small

2 stars out of 5 stars

I ordered a 2X which normally fits me, but the jacket I received was so small I couldn't even get the ends of the zipper near each other. It was also tight across the back. I'm afraid that even the 3X might be too small.

Code Red Roofers - 07/18/19

Jacket Runs Small

3 stars out of 5 stars

The jacket itself is wonderful. Very flattering in fit and comfort. The only down size is it runs small about one size too small. The customer service rep I had though on the phone was outstanding.

xxl jacket

4 stars out of 5 stars

The scale-up from XL to XXL increased the jackets girth but not the space in the arms. Buyer beware. Other than that I love the jacket.

Nice shape in a Ladies jacket

4 stars out of 5 stars

Not baggy or boxy. Great shape. The only reason I’m giving this a 4 instead of 5 is because what was pictured was a solid red, but what i got was red with gray. Would have preferred a solid color.
