Rated 4 out of 5 by Earthling97 Casual and comfortable
I just purchased one of these jackets in white. I am 5'6" and weigh 134 lb. The size 6 fit perfectly.The jacket is of good quality, fully lined, and really dresses up a pair of jeans or casual pants. Nice enough for business casual too. It arrived very wrinkled, but that is somewhat expected with this fabric. I'm hoping it won't wrinkle too much with wearing...

Rated 4 out of 5 by Beanfantoo I could wear this every day....
I was happy to see this jacket in the store and tried it on. I'm short but not petite and usually wear a medium or size 10 jacket. The size 10 fit perfectly and the size 12 had significantly longer sleeves and more room in the shoulders and upper arms. Anticipating they will shrink in the wash, I bought two in size 12: one in linen and one in sea pine.
If I could wear these jackets every day I would. They're really comfortable and can be dressed up or down. I've worn them with jeans and I've worn them with dress pants; they're very versatile and can take you anywhere. They're a great weight for this time of year as well: they're warm enough for a 50 degree morning and light enough for a 75 degree afternoon. And the length is not bad either, given the trend of really short jackets lately.
If these hold up in the wash, I can see myself grabbing a few more in different colors on sale. I bought them at $99 because I really needed professional-looking spring jackets; at a reduced price, it's a no-brainer!

Rated 4 out of 5 by THYG Color a disappointment
I ordered the Sea Green. The internet color is beautiful. I was so disappointed when I opened the package and saw the color. It is a pastel Sea Green. Much lighter than the color shown.
The sleeves are about an inch too long for a petite and there is no way to shorten them.
Otherwise, it is a beautiful blazer. Very well constructed with a lot of excellent detailing. The quality of the linen was very good.with a very nice weight to it.
If the color had been deeper, I would have kept it even with the sleeves a little too long.

I was not disappointed. It's a beautiful jacket. Made well, fits well. I wish that I had been quick enough to purchase another one. I really hope this comes back next spring. I plan to buy another one in another color! They could add more colors, that would be ok with me. But please keep the colors already here. They're wonderful!

Rated 5 out of 5 by CountryDane good buy
Am very happy with this jacket. Because I read reviews, am glad I purchased a size smaller. It fits very well and am thinking of getting it in black. Am pleased with the white color.

I liked the jacket's fit but am not wild about the weight of the linen. Was expecting the fabric to be more summery and light. Was also disappointed that the "linen" colored version is unavailable.

Unfortunately, I returned this jacket. It was way too snug for a size 8.

I love the Lakeshore Linen Jacket. Very tailored, nice lining, fits beautfully. I knew the moment I tried it on it was a "keeper". Thanks for another great product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by SuperShopper11 Great summer blazer
This is a great find. It runs large, better to order one size down. I got the white, which is more of an light "eggshell" color and it looks just beautiful. I specially like the fact that the fabric is not sheer, so it can be worn over a bright colored camisole.

Perfect fit with nice sleek lines but not too fitted. Very comfortable and versatile for both dress and casual.
