Marks & Spencer's Padded Collared Short Jacket, priced at £40, has been described by shoppers as 'great for when the weather gets cooler'. The jacket is currently available on the retailer's website in two colourways: bitter chocolate and sage green. It comes in sizes 6 to 24, with customer reviews noting that it 'fits a little big'.
Design and Features
The Padded Collared Short Jacket features a neat collared neckline and a button-up front. M&S describes it as a 'wardrobe staple', noting it is 'lightly padded and partially lined', making it ideal for 'days when there's a chill in the air'. The jacket also includes two welt pockets, which the retailer says 'bring handy storage space for small, everyday items'.
The jacket has received a 4.7-star rating on the Marks & Spencer website. One shopper commented: "Love this autumnal jacket goes with my autumn colours." Another customer, Myra, posted: "Nice modern look short jacket. Love the colour. Slightly padded but still light weight. Nice jacket for driving car in winter."
Shopper Reviews and Feedback
Betty wrote: "Love this jacket, will be great for when the weather turns cooler. I bought the chocolate colour which is absolutely lovely. This jacket is slightly padded and not at all bulky, great to throw on when doing school runs or a quick dog walk." However, not all feedback was positive. One buyer noted: "It’s a handy smart jacket in a nice shade of green, unfortunately I am returning it as a bit too big."
Another customer shared: "Bought this jacket ready for autumn, but couldn’t resist wearing it recently on a blustery August grey day! Went down a size as it was an ‘oversize’ style. Looks really stylish with jeans, dress up or dress down jacket, breathable so you are not baking, but warm enough to keep the biting wind out! Love it!"
