Riders by Lee Indigo Women's Denim Jacket

Like a lot of folks, I put on a few pounds during the pandemic, so my fitted denim jacket no longer fit comfortably. I was looking for a casual but cute lighter layer option for an upcoming weekend event, and realized that a denim jacket was probably what I would want to wear-- if it fit. What's a girl to do? Jump on Amazon, of course. After reading the reviews, I decided to give this jacket a try. Initially I was after the darkest color, but that was not a currently available option. Instead, I ordered Indigo, which is still more of a classic darker denim wash and provides a nice contrast to lighter spring/summer colors I will likely be wearing it with the most. The jacket arrived quickly. I tried it on immediately and was happy to discover that it fit pretty well. It has a softer feel than my other stiff denim jacket, which I imagine will make it more comfortable to wear. I can also button it, which is not the case with my other coat that is currently too small. The sleeves are slightly long for me, but if I fold up the cuff they are the perfect length. My only negative comment so far is that the jacket had a very strong odor when it arrived. Assuming it is some sort of chemical to prevent pests etc. which is fairly common for clothing. I washed it right away and could still smell the odor a little bit. After hanging it up by itself to further air out, the smell seems to have dissipated. The jacket had almost no wrinkles at all fresh out of the dryer-- which is a plus! For folks trying to determine size-- I ordered a Large. My bust currently measures at 42 and chest is 36. Biceps are 13 inches around. Waist about 33 inches. The shoulder seam sits in about the right place. Jacket is loose enough to accommodate a layer underneath comfortably. Because I have smaller shoulders, I could probably fit into a medium, but, imagine I wouldn't be able to button it and it could be a little snug/less comfortable until I lose a few more pounds. Looking forward to wearing this, and imagine I will wear it often.

I was on the hunt for a good denim jacket and came across this one. I typically purchase size large or extra large in jackets to give room for layers underneath. I am 5'8.5 and around 190lbs currently. Here are my measurements (in inches) Wrist: 6.75 Neck: 13 Arms: 13.5 Above bust: 38 Underbust: 34 Waist: 32 Low waist: 39 Hips: 44 Upper arm: 13.5 Forearm: 11 I find the fit is very flattering overall. I wish it was a little longer, but it's certainly not a cropped jacket. I was not looking for one of those! This will look great with both a top/pants outfit or a dress. It's incredibly versatile and the rich deep blue color is beautiful The stitching is nice, and I'm not finding any flaws there. I am able to roll up the sleeves comfortably. It has pockets of a decent depth. I would highly recommend this jacket to someone with similar stats looking for a well-made jean jacket.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GO BUY THIS JACKET!! I have not been paid or given a free product for this review. I just have a hard time finding clothes that fit good so I’m super excited about this purchase lol First thing I look for.. is this person shaped like me? So here it goes.. I ordered a large. I’m 5’1, 165lbs, 38DD or 36DDD, I guess I’m considered an hourglass shape ? My bust and hips are pretty much the same width and my waist is a few inches smaller. I carry my weight pretty evenly. Typically, I love how jean jackets look and hate how they fit so I was really skeptical and was pretty sure it would be returned but now I wish I could afford one in every color but I’m a single parent with 3 kids so mom splurges are limited but seriously... this jacket is amazing!!! So, let’s dive in to this review... THE MATERIAL AND FIT I’m the past, my experience with jean jackets has been awful. The material is thick, stiff, heavy, unyielding.. just not comfortable at all and having a large bust with a stiff jacket is seriously unflattering. If it fit my boobs, then it hung like a box at my waist. No definition at all. Think potato sack/tent... you get the picture 😂 NOT THIS JACKET!! This jacket has spandex or something in it! Not only does it fit my bust line but it curves in towards my waist beneath it. It is PERFECT and the material is a soft, thinner denim, but not thin like a shirt, it’s thick enough to function as a jacket and still keep you warm but soft and thin enough that is shapes to you and hugs your body... think, your favorite pair of jeans. That is how this jacket feels! I purchased a large, I’m a crazy in between size. I wear a 12 pants in women’s, 13/15 pants in juniors and my tops range from M-L-XL depending on the cut, brand, where it’s made. My waist screams “medium“ but my bust yells back “large” and if it’s not US sized... my whole body starts begging, “for the love of God woman get the XL... and don’t be scared of the 2X if it’s coming from China!” The large in this jacket was perfect. An XL would have been to big and a medium to open in the front, but I will be able to look great in this even if I lose 10-15 pounds (which I’m currently working on) I was diagnosed with Lupus two years ago and the medications caused me to gain a ton of weight so I’m happily 60lbs lighter since this past November and finally starting to see my body again! The fit of this jacket is AMAZING! It hangs with perfect spacing in the front if it’s unbuttoned. It stretches enough that I can button it up if I want, might be a tiny snug over the bust but the stretch is fantastic... and let’s face it, I’m not really going to button this thing. Does anyone really button up a denim jacket? I noticed some reviewers saying the arms were long and there was no pocket space. I didn’t have an issue with either and I’m short y’all! With my arms down, the cuff comes to the top of my fingers and if I raise my arm straight up over my head, it falls at the perfect wrist spot for the sleeves being down (but y’all know I’m going to cuff them anyway, I mean come on... it’s cuter that way lol) I also found there to be sufficient room in the pocket. My hand is completely open and stretched in the photo and fits. You could easily put your keys, gum or hands in the pocket... cell phone? No, but that’s not the jackets fault. Cell phones are ridiculously big and barely fit in our BACK pocket these days. Overall, my review is a YES, YES, YES.. I’ll have what she’s having in every single color... at least, as soon as my pocket book says I can lol !! (Little Harry Met Sally reference for you there 😉 yeah... I’m that old lol) So stop guessing, stop staring at it, stop debating... GO BUY THIS JACKET!! You will 💕💕💕💕 it!

Pretty happy with this jacket. It has enough stretch to be comfortable. I like that it indents at the waist so as not to be boxey. Gives it a little bit of chic. I turned the cuffs up once to accommodate my short arms. I also took my scissors and carefully cut out that inside back flap at the yoke. It was pointless. Love that the buttons are a dark color instead of a shiny advert for Lee. I washed it right away in warm water on speed setting and then partially dried it on medium. I put it on after the dryer and I don’t believe it shrunk at all but it’s softer now. I got a medium due to my stomach. I’m 5’2” 124lbs 36C and built like a stump, otherwise a small would have been better. I got the camouflage color and it is very dark and will go with pretty much everything. I don’t look like I’m off to go deer hunting😜 Slowly changing my mind on this jacket. It really flairs out at the hip due to the cinched waist and isn’t a good look on me. Also too much room around the top pockets. I should have gotten the small but then the waist would be even more wonky. Just a little stiffer than I like too. Since I doctored it up, I can’t return it so I’ll just use it for dog walking or donate it.

I love the Cherry red on this jacket. It's really cute and very comfortable. I will definitely get a lot of use out of this.

The reviews are correct, this is a great lightweight denim jean jacket! I ordered the star light blue, it went very well over my maxi floral blue dress for a party. I wear a size medium shirt, but I have wide shoulders, so I ordered the Jean jacket in a size large. It fits perfectly, is not oversized and hanging uncomfortably. I have very long arms because I am 5 foot 10 and the sleeves came all the way down to my wrists. Usually jackets have sleeves that are way too short. If you are shorter than me and don't like this, it looks cool to roll up the sleeves on a jean jacket! When I opened the jacket it had the smell of starch from the manufacturer, so I washed it in cold in the washing machine and then hung it up to dry for several days. It removed the smell and the color stayed true. I really like the softness of this jacket, I am going to order another one in a different color, now I just have to decide which color!

Great fit nice and stretchy, arms are normal length. Color is great, true to picture. I am 5ft 110 lbs I ordered an XS.

I love this jacket, a stretchy classic piece for my wardrobe

Linda, ótimo caimento, macia
