Wonderful!
It didn’t take long for this to become one of my favorites. It happened as soon as I took it out of the bag and put it on. This jacket feels like your favorite cozy sweatshirt, soft, enveloping, yet with definite tailoring and enough structure to look great in the office as well as the sidelines of the ball field without being stiff. The seams give a fitted look, definitely not boxy, and I like the slimming look of the longer length. Anything that helps trick the eye in thinking I am more slender than reality is a plus for me. I loved this one so much after I received the white, I went back and bought the black in my current size and another in the next size up so when Fall rolls around, I’ll have room for heavier shirts. As Louis advised on his website, because the white is not lined there is a bit of show through however it is not sheer, and looks great worn with a navy and white striped shirt and navy pants. Sooo cute! I cannot tell you how long I have looked for a white jacket that was not too short, so trendy that it would be out of style next season, and in a fabulous fabric. Leave it to Louis to pull it altogether in a great selection of colors and the traditional gotta have B&W AND just in time for jacket season. Whoop! I am very pleased.

Perfect Jacket
Both my blue and my white jackets came today. I love them both. A beautiful, relaxed fit and so comfy. I am so glad Louis gave us some length, now us taller ladies can enjoy these beautiful fashions too. Now if I could get a pair of small pants to match. In case you were not aware there is not a pair of full length pants in a small size in Louis's group. Thanks again Louis for the extra length, we taller gals have missed so many of your beautiful things not being able to wear all of the 24inch sweaters and jackets.

Simply great
I am new to the Linea line and I am so glad that I found it! This jacket is both nicely tailored as well as comfortable. The fabric stretches just the right amount for it to be comfortable all day. I tend to wear cardigans because I can't stand feeling constricted by stiff jackets, but I am able wear this one both buttoned and unbuttoned with no problem. I wear a size 1X and think both the princess seaming and body skimming shape of the jacket are flattering on me.
I hope to see this jacket in other darker colors and perhaps long sleeves soon!

The Best!
If I'm not trying this on to admire the look and feel, I'm looking at it hanging
from the showcase hook outside my closet! There isn't a thing about this
jacket that isn't perfect - the fit, the comfort, the collar, the pockets, this
Limoges Blue! I'll have to be careful that I don't wear it everyday :-)
Louis Dell'Olio is a genius with jackets (and all else in his line),
and this is his latest masterpiece! Thank you, Louis!

Love this Jacket!!
Louis has done it again with this jacket. Perfect fit, as if he custom made it for me. Very comfortable and very well made as always. I got the Limoges Blue and will go back for the black.

Beyond fabulous!
This jacket is my new summer fav. The nectarine color is vibrant and brightens your face. The fit is casual,but can be dressed up as needed. I ordered my regular size and can layer easily. Pockets are a plus,especially where they are located. Back for another color! Linea jackets/blazers are the best!

Amazing Jacket!
I just received this in the mail and all I can say is WOW! This might be my favorite, and I have a lot of Linea jackets. The fit is superb. Even though it is a "relaxed" jacket and very, very comfortable the seaming makes it fit like a dream and it is very slimming. My only regret is that I didn't order more colors when they were available. This jacket will allow you to look polished and stay cool while feeling like you're wearing a comfy sweatshirt. Love it!

Classy and Comfortable
I received the Limoges blue jacket and matching skirt today and I'm very happy with this purchase. As usual Lous Dell'Olio has tailored a light weight, comfortable and classy looking Ponte jacket (and skirt) that fits perfectly and the color is beautiful. The jacket also teams with other pants and jeans to stretch my wardrobe and I love the elbow length sleeves. It's definitely a keeper! Go for it!

Oh! How nice!
I generally have a very hard time finding clothing that fits AND looks professional. This jacket works on both points.
I was so pleasantly surprised to try it on and see that it looked terrific, was long enough to cover my butt, the shoulders were not droopy, the shoulder pads
are snap-in (how designer) and the fabric was soft and stretchy; substantial,
but not heavy. A wonderful weight for 4 seasons. A more tailored look than the poly/spandex open front jackets I generally wear. I ordered the blue, which
is a slightly brighter shade of royal. Very flattering, not electric. I will be
comfortable in the color as a plus size. This is only my second LDO piece,
the first being a wonderful V-neck shell that I've had for at least 5 years....
I'm betting the jacket will likewise be a long-time favorite. My only wish is that
LDO would be on QVC more often with a greater selection of classic
pieces. When he gets it right (for me) I'm in heaven!

ADORE!
I just got my Nectarine Ponte Knit Jacket and I'm IN LOVE.
If it came in 10 colors, I'd have to have them.
This is SO comfortable and fits so well ( my usual size M in Linea) .. anyone would think it was actually made for me~!
I went through my closet briefly .. and have found four things ( Linea and others) that will be wonderful with this color.
This jacket is comfortable enough to wear all day .. it truly is like a sweatshirt in that respect.
Because it is LINEA, the tailoring is perfect, right down to the removable shoulder pads.
Another brilliant addition to my closet.. of course it is LINEA!
Thank you Mr. Dell 'Olio!
