Levi's Women's Upside-downable Trucker Jacket

I could not figure out how to make it look like it did on the show but it doesn't mean it wasn't great quality.

Confession: Even though I LOVED this jacket watching it walk down the runway, and I wanted to love it on me, I bought it fully expecting to return it. At 5'4" (almost) and a medium-small build, I thought even the S/M would swallow me up, with the wonderfully weird angles getting lost & being utterly unflattering. But...Return it? NO WAY!!!! OMG I LOVE IT!As frugal a shopper as I am, I think that $200 is a bargain for a designer piece this unique! The denim is soft and comfy to the touch, and the perfect weight to get the drape needed for the drapey parts. The gorgeous stitching gives structure to the edges, and they hold their shape perfectly where needed. This is a good quality piece of clothing.Yes, there is a duck tail when worn in side A - embrace it! (This is obvious on the model pics if you look at them). I suspect that It will probably soften a bit in time. TIP: Iron the seam between the collar and the body of the jacket and this will soften the bend.The sleeves might be short on some people (again, look at the model pics & you will notice this) On me, the sleeves are wrist length on side B, a bit shorter on side A. Fine with me, I often roll sleeves up to intentionally make them 3/4 length. My shoulders are narrow; a wide-shouldered person would end up with an even shorter sleeve length.Also, This is not JUST a two-way jacket! With all of the buttons and buttonholes you can really have fun experimenting with different ways to wear it - I keep playing with different ways to wear it.The fabric does wrinkle easily, but that's definitely not enough to lose a star. Any wrinkling will lessen over time and washes.It's fun that the Levi's label is on both ends of the jacket, but like others, I REALLY wish that Gary had credit on the label.This jacket will get a LOT of wear from me! Team Gary all the way!!!

This jacket is AMAZING - I am so impressed with how it looks - I love the oversize vibe of it, and the different ways you can wear it is just so impressive. Gary was definitely the one designer that I felt like I HAD to have a piece from. I know everyone talks about the tail - I found that you can also take the ends of that tail and button it up so that it cinches in the back around your waist and you wear it long in the front. Just a little tip for you. It might not fit everyone's waist - it just fit mine and I wear size 6/28 waist, and I ordered the S/M size. The pockets - love the design of them and how unexpected the design is. I'm such an 80s girl so the huge collar is a style that I so love. Wearing it the other way looks amazing too - it's so Japanese denim chic. BRILLIANT!

After waiting far too many unexplained months to receive this, I was incredibly disappointed. I got the smallest size S/M but it was like a denim pup tent. It was 58" around in the chest, when hanging normally, and 56 in the hips when hanging normally. Oversized is one thing but swamped is another. No small or medium woman of my size or smaller (5'3") and 155lbs. could wear this comfortably without excess fabric getting in the way of ordinary activities. And, while I love the late Andre Leon Talley, I don't want to wear a denim caftan, even if a designer made it. There is nothing flattering or cool about something that large. Worse, it was poorly made. The monstrous neck opening could not be buttoned because the button holes were not big enough. Worse still, even if it had remotely fit, the tail issue was not resolved. How hard would it have been to do a perpendicular cut on the back of the collar so that, when worn in the "b" position, the neck pieces would overlap and lie flatter while still standing up in the "a" position? Worst of all, for a 200 dollar denim jacket, I would have expected better quality denim or some effort to line the parts of the jacket that would ordinarily hang open. It looked cheap. Finally, I have short arms and the sleeves were ok in the "a" position but I would expect that most people would find them too short. I returned the jacket immediately. Feel sorry for the designer. This does not reflect well on him. Glad his name is not on the label because I fear a ton of these are going to be returned and end up in a landfill or thrift shop. What a waste.

OK. I love Making the Cut and Gary Graham is by far my favorite designer on the show. When I saw this design won, I literally ran to my phone to order one. I saw the weird tail on the back in the photos but decided to try it.I'm 5'11" and usually wear a US ladies medium, 10 or 12 and I got a S/M. It's a little roomy but I think that's how it's supposed to fit.Pros:I love that there are so many different ways to wear this. I'll post some photos of the initial ways I found.The denim is soft and drapey but not thin.It's very unique.I like that it supports the idea of genderless dressing.Cons:For a $200 jacket from Levi's, I expected something really top quality. It feels middle of the road and there are no "extras." The fabric is not premium, and if you wear the front hanging open, the backside is a light color which cheapens the look a bit.The 'tail" is insane. See the other reviews about this too. I'm a home sewer and if I keep this jacket, I'll install a discreet snap so I can fold the collar back and up inside the jacket which will help with this a lot. I didn't notice this tail on Gary's original jacket and I can't believe Levi's couldn't sort out this design detail. For a $200 jacket I shouldn't have to alter it in this kind of way!I don't know if I'll keep this, but since it's now totally sold out maybe I will... I like the way it fits and it's very cool, the tail thing is just bizarre though. If Levi's makes more of these they need to sort that detail out, make it fold in, or make that part from something way more drapey.
