Levi'sWomen's Ex-Boyfriend Trucker Jacket (Also Available in Plus)

Fits as described
I ordered three different types of Levi’s trucker jackets all in size Large (recommended size) for a side by side comparison. Please note that the 3 trucker jackets DO NOT COME WITH A HOODIE. I was simply making sure I could layer a hoodie underneath the denim jackets as this is how I like to wear them. All 3 Large sized jackets passed my hoodie test and Large felt like an accurate size recommendation to the style of each jacket. The sleeve length was long and perfect for me. If you’re looking for a more “form fitting” jacket, order the original trucker in your normal size (it does have stretch if you’re between sizes), order the Ex-Boyfriend a size smaller (no stretch.. watch out for arm length though), and skip the Baggy trucker altogether or try ordering it two sizes smaller (no stretch.. watch out for arm length changes ordering small sizes). My measurements: Height 5’8” - Weight 155lbs - Shoulder to Shoulder 17" - Bust 38" - Waist 28” - Hips 40". All of the Levi’s denim trucker jackets have inside “pockets” which is a feature I have always loved from Levi’s denim jackets. If you notice from the photos, each jacket is about 2” longer than the next. The Ex-Boyfriend trucker jacket being slightly baggy; pictured in the first photo, in the middle (top & bottom) of the second photo and in the middle of the third photo. The black wash in the Ex-Boyfriend trucker jacket is nicely faded black, but not the lightest out of the 3. It is meant to be baggy. That is the look. I liked the baggy jacket style and almost kept both the Baggy and the Ex-Boyfriend, but decided I spent too much money on myself this month and had to show some restraint. I chose the Ex-Boyfriend because it was baggy but still showed my butt. The Baggy Trucker and Ex-Boyfriend trucker have no stretch and have contrasting brownish brass buttons which I liked because it felt more vintage. The sleeves in my recommended size Large were long and I liked the way they looked rolled up. The Original Trucker has some stretch, was the darkest black wash and had black buttons. I liked the Original trucker the least because it was so dark and my black jeans are all faded, so I preferred the faded washes on the other two trucker jackets more. The faded denim also felt more vintage to me and is more my style. Notice the Ex-Boyfriend jacket has buttons on the right “men’s side” while both the Original Trucker and Baggy Trucker have buttons on the left “women’s side”. I hope my review helps you decide!

Cute!
I’m 5’2 and 140 lbs. I’ve always been size 6 for everything. I got a medium and I think that was a good size for me since the style is meant to be oversized.It feels decently thick. It doesn’t feel cheap even though it was half the price of the jean jackets I was seeing at other places.I like it, it was really comfortable!

Ex-Boyfriend Trucker Jacket; Fit and Fabric.
The size XS was a good fit for me for the cooler weather, as it allows me to wear a sweater or hoody underneath. It is not too loose or baggy used this way, but the sleeves are a cuff length too long, so I roll them up. I am 5'2", 105lbs. so it is difficult to get a perfect fit. I have another Levi jacket that is shorter and snug fitting, about 98% cotton, that I wear in the summer. This Trucker jacket is 100% cotton and the fabric is heavier, with a different texture from the cotton blend jacket. Mine is in a faded blue and smelled strongly of bleach, so I had to wash before wearing. This strong bleaching leaves a nice broken-in color, but it also is hard on the fabric and creates worn areas at pocket and collar edges. I am concerned about how long this jacket will last. Also, it is extremely hard to use the metal buttons without breaking your nails. I am hoping the buttonholes will relax and loosen with use. The jacket does look the one pictured with the ad and I am overall happy with it. I wanted an original looking jacket (like we had in the 70's), not one with stars or embroidery or other embellishments and this is as close as I could get. The red Levi tag is sewn into the left breast pocket.

Classic Levi's
Love this jacket. It's a great length compared to many shorter ones that are currently popular, especially if you are over 40. Nice and roomy, but not baggy so it looks good over a t-shirt, but will still be comfortable if you have something a little bulkier underneath. Normally wear a size 12 and I order a large. It has plenty of room.

A classic - but not oversized
I am relieved I didn't order this jacket in the size Amazon recommended, a small. I am a small/medium in most tops and jackets, but I wanted an oversized fit, so I went for a size large. And even the large is not giving that slouchy oversized feel I was kind of hoping for. It basically "just fits." (Sleeve length is long on me but that's normal.) I won't be able to wear this over anything bulky. I decided to keep it because I don't have this jacket in my wardrobe, and it will be handy in the spring and fall over a tee or a long sleeve shirt. It is a sturdy denim, which I like. I can wear it buttoned (with effort, the stiff fabric makes it tough to button/unbutton). So it's a good jacket, just not exactly what I was expecting.

Petite person review.
Pleasantly surprised....This jacket actually seems great out of the box! To counter some of the other reviews:The jacket stiffness is to be expected if you've ever worn anything denim and new that does not contain spandex...Duh. On first try on this is not overwhelming at all, IMO, and I suspect it'll soften with wear, anyway.The shoulders are slightly big, but that's the style, which is evident in the pictures, and the seams do curve to your shoulders (at least for me they do, and I'm very sensitive to weird shoulder fitting situations as a petite person).The sleeve length obviously will depend on the person and how it's worn. If you plan to roll them up, it may not matter too much if they are short. They happen to be the right length on me (falling at the wrists) and I'm 5'1''. Take that for what it's worth. Also, I ordered size medium and I love the fit. Not tight, but I'm not swimming in it, either. Can wear a sweater or thin sweatshirt under the jacket comfortably. And it's not crazy tight in the armpits (again, the style) I'm 135 lbs, 36C... I'm sure the small would fit, but less comfortably b/c tight denim jackets are constricting, IMO, and I want to layer. Indigo color is accurate. Hope this helps.
