This winter puffer jacket has literally put any other jacket I have ever previously owned to shame! First of all, it came packaged very nicely in a cute zippered fabric storage bag. Whenever I took it out of the packaging/ bag I was seriously SHOCKED by how incredibly soft it is! Not just the sleeves but also the iridescent area as well! I'm not sure off hand exactly what kind of material it is made from, but trust me when I say that it feels just like a cashmere cloud. No exaggeration, I literally have never felt such an insanely soft, cloud like, comfortable fabric/ material before. . . Ever. I swear I can't stop touching it! lol. It also fits just perfectly too, it's not too short around the stomach/ waist area, and is comfortable to wear on top of other winter clothes such as hoodies or sweaters as well as with t shirts. I will say though, that it is extremely puffy. Whenever you squeeze it and let go, you can literally watch it immediately puff back out almost instantaneously, lol. But I certainly don't mind that one bit, as it's unbelievably warm and keeps me nice and toasty in the cold weather. I seriously couldn't be happier with this amazing winter jacket!
