Absolutely beautiful colour jacket in steel

Purchased this in the beautiful steel colour. It is perfect and can be used with a number of different garments. I purchased the size 10 after reading sizing instructions as I wanted to make sure it buttoned at the waist. It fitted perfectly, but while they are still in stock. You will not be disappointed

Stunning jacket, great quality.

Stunning jacket, great quality and it gives such a great shape with the wide shoulders and nipped in waist. It goes with everything! Dresses, jeans, dungarees and I can't wait to try the matching skirt and wide leg trousers with it.

Wonderful

A wonderful jacket with a great cut. This is now my fourth America jacket. I couldn't resist this beautiful green and love the color so much. I chose size 12 with a chest measurement of 97cm, and it's the right size for me (I can easily wear a cardigan underneath).
Another beautiful piece that just begs to be worn. Thank you, House of Foxy!

Amazing coat!

It was my first purchase, and I couldn't be happier.
I loved the coat, with its excellent finishes, and the style is exactly what I was looking for to match my outfit.
Besides being beautiful, it's comfortable and feels like it was made for me.
I wish there was a store in the European Union so I could buy more items.
Thank you Foxy!

Super Jacket

I fell in love with this jacket when I saw it at a fashion show, it is beautiful. I can wear it with my vintage dresses and skirts but also with jeans. It gives that typical 40s silhouette with the shoulders and the nipped in waist, a gorgeous addition to my other Foxy favourites.

Gorgeous jacket!

I love this jacket. The quality is amazing! It feels so well made, it's sturdy, warm but not too heavy. If you like 40s style the silhouette is perfection! I love how it really nips in at the waist. Perfect for a land girl outfit.
