This is my second review. So sorry Customers are returning the jacket!! THE POCKETS DO OPEN!!!! PLEASE!!! if you are unsure about clipping the threads to open it, take it to your local Dry Cleaner. Most do minor repairs and would be glad to help!!! You need to pull hard on the pocket tab to see the stitches that need clipping. Re-buy this beautiful jacket you will NOT be dissappointed!!!! I may invest in a second one I love it so much!!!!

Fantastic jacket. Fits well. Love the stretch and the length. True to size. NOW... here's what you have to do to get into the SEALED pockets (and they sealed them very well) - if you can find a friend, both of you pull as hard as you can on either side of the seam at the 'pocket' until you see a taupe coloured thread. Then, with a stitch ripper or the pointy end of a small knife, cut that thread. Now your friend can sit and catch her/his breath while you fight with it and keep pulling it and cutting it and pulling it open more and cutting it and finally it will open. Other side - you will need your friend again to repeat the process. It will take you at least 15 - 30 minutes and, if you are in Menopause, you will SWEAT. However, once you get them open, it is sooooo worth it.

I really wanted this jacket. I ignored the review about the side pockets being non existent bc another reviewer said the pockets are there but need to be opened/thread picked open. I ordered it...and the pockets can NOT be opened/picked open...even the store clerk looked with me as I returned them. Very sad for me bc other wise I was ready to love it. What an oversight by the designer.

I had been looking for a longer jean jacket for quite some time and finally found this one. It is the perfect length!

GREAT jean jacket! I had a short one and very seldom wore it. Now I reach for this one all the time.

This is my FIRST on-line order ever with Penningtons. I ordered this jacket very late Monday night ( Oct. 12th) and got it today the 14th!!! Oh MY!! what fantastic service!! I kept looking at this jacket for quite some time, and finally bought it! I am sooooo glad I did! The fit is perfect and does not make you look "boxy". The jacket is very well constructed with no loose hanging threads. The denim is an excellent heavy quality, and very very soft! I plan to sew the open end of the pocket lining (inside) the jacket. Now I will have two very deep internal pockets to hold keys or a few dollars!! Less chance of anything put inside falling out!! Bonus more pockets!! And YES you do have to undo the stitches to open the front pockets!!! One happy camper here!!!

This is a really nice jacket. It has just enough stretch. It ends just below my hips. Very flattering. Someone wrote that the pockets a fake. This is not true. The manufacturers sew them closed for stability while sewing. Just take a tiny pair of scissors and carefully remove the stiches. I pulled the pocket apart from the outside to see the thread to cut. I give this coat a 10 out of 10

I wasn't sure about this at first ... but when it arrived I absolutely fell in LOVE with this jacket! Fit is amazing amd its so versatile ... You can almost weae5it with anything! Paired up with a nice falls dress and booties Or as a lighter jacket option with a sweater und Jean/ tights underneath! This is now my go-to favorite jacket!

Just arrived in the mail (very quickly!) on Friday and I wore it all weekend. It's my new fave jacket. Like one of the other reviewers said; it's not boxy. It hangs nicely and covers my butt. It's roomy through the shoulders which is great. I've got broad shoulders and often find jackets and blazers are too tight in that area. The pockets exist but you do have to use scissors to open them up.

Long denim is a trend that for plus size people often ends up being boxy, but not this jacket. Super pleased with the cut as it's very flattering while also being long enough to actually offer some warmth. Other reviewers have said that the pockets are fake, they're not, you just have to open up the stitching they put there to protect the pockets in transit.
