Folkloric Boiled-wool Jacket
You May Also Like
Beginning in the 18th century, the art of rosemaling, or flower painting, spread in rural Norway as artists traveled from village to village, decorating churches and homes. The hand-stitched patterns that adorn this square-neck, perfect-for-layering, black jacket are inspired by the elements of this decorative folk art. The traditional pewter clasps enhance the Scandinavian artistry of the naturally wind-resistant and quick-drying boiled wool.
Wool. Imported.
Dry clean.

Cons

Comments about Folkloric Boiled-wool Jacket:
This is called a jacket, but it is lighter weight than most boiled wool. I wear it in place of a sweater over a turtleneck but I still need a coat in the winter.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Folkloric Boiled-wool Jacket:
I was hoping to replace the large I ordered with a medium. Fortunately by the time my return was processed there was a medium available. I wear a large jacket,size 14 but the large was huge. It took over a month for this return to be processed. It was well worth the wait. This is absolutely striking and I'll enjoy wearing it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Warm and attractive
Pros
- Distinctive design
- Good Fit
Cons
- Fabric not very thick
Best Uses
- CASUAL WEAR
Comments about Folkloric Boiled-wool Jacket:
Best for use as a sweater over another layer, not as a jacket. Works well for someone with broad shoulders and long arms. The boiled wool is not as thick as others I've seen, but the design is very pretty.

Runs really large
Pros
- lovely jacket
Cons
- Wide shoulder width
Best Uses
Comments about Folkloric Boiled-wool Jacket:
It was a Lovely jacket. I would have ordered a Medium, but saw where it ran large, so ordered a Small, BUT even the small was too large! I loved the look and the warmth of the jacket, and thought about alterations, but the problem was, in order to have the design the shoulders were very wide and the pattern would not have looked right with the shoulder width reduced. I had to return it. It was a great jacket that I hated to have to return!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Beautiful, but Different
Pros
- The jacket is beautiful
- Weight of a sweater
Cons
- Made in China
Best Uses
Comments about Folkloric Boiled-wool Jacket:
The sweater is beautiful and nicely made, but not exactly as it appears in the photograph. The jacket is longer than shown. The sleeves are the same length as jacket, whereas the one in the photograph has sleeves that are longer than the jacket. The cut of the jacket is straight, not nipped in at the waist as it appears in the photo. The description is also ambiguous. While the designer was a Norwegian, the jacket was made in China.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
