This jacket is not padded. It is super cute and very comfortable. The material is sturdy and the stitching is well done. It adds a dressy unique look to a boring outfit but can be worn casually as well. For best results regarding the appearance for the style, the ties need to used. Read more

As an avid sewing fan, and a plus-sized lady who has a hard time finding things that fit, I was so excited to check the measurements and find that this would fit me---with room to spare! I have had this on my wishlist, no joke, since two years prior the pandemic. I don't know WTF was wrong with me that I didn't spring on these earlier! The color is true to picture, the padding is warm without being super bulky like a 90s puffy ski jacket, and I can literally wear it for two, two and a half seasons (autumn through mid-spring I'm betting) without it being too warm. Machine washable, too, and being able to tie it multiple ways made this one of my dream purchases. Holy crap. You will not regret buying this; that other comment about the pockets wasn't kidding. This is incredibly well made, and possibly the first thing I've bought in years that didn't give me lingering buyer's remorse. Brand loyalty is a polite understatement; I have other things on my Never-Ending Wishlist from this brand, that I'll be investing in as soon as possible. Shipping took a while, but dang was it worth the wait. Read more

First of all, let me say, I love love love this it is so nice and it is so well-made. The color, however, is a much deeper and darker purple. Almost like eggplant but nonetheless, I love it. I am short it is short. It is large and incredibly comfortable cozy even. Read more

This jacket was surprisingly well-made in this day and age where we settle for poorly finished seams and haphazard construction. Coming from a sewing background I was surprised to find the seam pockets were not hanging loose on the inside of the jacket like you find so often, but were enclosed by the lining. I’ve been looking for a Hanten that’s not bulky and, though not technically a Hanten, fit the bill for far less than ordering one from Japan. It’s lightly padded … just enough to keep you comfy around the house. The only thing I would change is to change the seam pockets to a front pocket, as the seams sit too far back to be usable without reaching behind yourself to get you hands in the pocket; I’ll probably do my own mod to add an inside front pocket just below the left breast. In spite of this, I am over the top about this jacket! Read more

Not a good value for the price. I do like it though. The description says it's padded. It's not but the description is accurate otherwise. The fabric feels like cotton, like the weight of quilting cotton so it is for style not warmth. It is not lined. The colors are accurate and it fits me. I am usually an XL in USA clothes and it is still baggy. I'm sorry to have spent so much for this but I'll keep it bc I need something Asian for a party soon. There are a bunch of these on Amazon, maybe you should consider the others. Read more

Consider an upgrade to your daily basics - instead of a hoodie or a cardigan, try something new and different that offers tremendous comfort and beauty. This is a fabulous wrap; if you've been stalking it for a bit, coming back to it or saving it for review, treat yourself and take the plunge. Read more
