Burberry Reversible Check Nylon Hooded Jacket in Gray — Two Faces, One Layer

Pros

• · Reversible construction: a check-print face and a solid gray face, each cut and sewn separately, with the hood in matching fabric on both sides.
• · Short, slightly relaxed drop-shoulder hooded cut with an adjustable hood, full-length matte black zip, elastic cuffs and hem, and side pockets.
• · Catalog describes a custom high-density lightweight nylon shell with a water-repellent finish that folds down and resists creasing.
• · Retailer fit guidance: true to size, with UK M listed at about 78 cm / 30.7 in in length.

Cons

• · A reviewer describes the shell as polyester with a polyamide-type reverse, commenting on the synthetic feel of the fabric.
• · Fit guidance splits: the retailer says true to size, while one reviewer says she sizes up in designer pieces and did so here.

Fit notes

Retailer guidance says take your normal size, and lists UK M at about 78 cm / 30.7 in in length; one reviewer says she sizes up in designer jackets and this was no exception. The catalog lists both S–XL and S–3XL, so confirm the in-stock range and chest measurement with the seller.

Buy if

You want one short hooded layer that reads as check on one side and plain gray on the other, and you are fine with the lightweight synthetic nylon the catalog and a reviewer describe. You will confirm chest and length before ordering.

Skip if

You want a natural-fiber hand-feel — a reviewer calls the shell synthetic — or you will not buy without chest and length measurements confirmed first.
