I've been wearing this cropped bomber jacket for a few weeks now, and I have to say - it's become my go-to transitional piece. The first thing I noticed was how lightweight yet structured it feels. It's not one of those flimsy jackets that loses its shape after one wear.

The fit is surprisingly true to size. I'm usually between sizes, but the medium fits me perfectly - snug but not tight in the shoulders with just the right cropped length (I'm 5'6" for reference). The button-down closure gives it a polished look that works equally well with jeans for casual outings or over dresses for dinner dates.

What really surprised me was the versatility. I've worn it to:
- Outdoor brunches (paired with a tank top when it got breezy)
- Evening concerts (threw it over a band tee)
- Even dressed up with heels for date night

The only minor issue? The upper arm area does run slightly snug if you're layering thicker tops underneath. But worn over thin blouses or sleeveless outfits, it's perfectly comfortable.

After several wears and one gentle hand wash (following another reviewer's advice), the jacket has held up beautifully with no fading or shape distortion. For under $30, this has been one of my best fashion purchases this season - already planning to get another color!
