Review: ESPRIT Tweed Jacket

I've been searching for a light-weight tweed jacket for a while. My requirements are pretty simple: non-pink version, less than $100 and of course, the fit has to be somewhat perfect. I finally found the perfect one for me where I least expect it - the Esprit outlet! I went shopping with my family last weekend. After walking around a bit, I couldn't find anything that worth buying. I decided to check out the mall directory and see if I've missed out anything. Evidently, I did because I had no idea there's an Esprit store in that outlet mall.

What I am wearing:

Tweed jacket: ESPRIT outlet - size 2 (buy similar)

Sweater: Banana Republic merino sweater - size XS (buy similar)

Shirt: Ann Taylor perfect long sleeve shirt - size 0P

Trousers: H&M - size 2 (buy similar)

Wedges: Merona Milena suede wedges

I was so excited to find a new place to shop. It must be my lucky day because everything was an additional 70% off that weekend. I asked the SA if they were going to close the store and she said no. They were just trying to clear out their winter stuff before getting new shipments. This jacket was originally $119. It was marked down to $69.99 plus an additional 70% off. I ended up paying $21 for it.

This jacket is very well made and fully lined. It's a light-weight jacket so it won't keep you warm during this time of the year. However, it's perfect for spring or fall as a layer piece. This jacket runs super tiny. I couldn't fit into a size 0. I am wearing a size 2 and couldn't have asked for a better fit. The length is great on me and most importantly, well-fitting in the shoulders.

Here are some specs just in case you're interested:

Measurements: Shoulder to shoulder: 15", body length: 20", sleeve length: 24"

Material: 52% polyester, 28% acrylic, 10% wool, 6% cotton and 4% viscose

Style #: 8648017167

I also tried on these 2 jackets below but did not get. As for the J.Crew one, it was too expensive for me and the fit was way off. As for the MNG one, the fit was great but I wasn't in love with the color.

I can't tell you enough how much I love these red pants that I wore in this post but will have to talk about them in a later post. Overall, I am thrilled with this purchase. This jacket has everything that I was looking for and it fits the bill =)

Enjoy the rest of your week,
