Not Available in Petite

I really wanted to love this, but the exclusion of petite sizing, yet again, made it a no go for my 5' body. The proportions were all wrong with regards to length, placement of the drawstring waist, and sleeve length. Sleeves would be an expensive alteration due to the cool detailing. I'm usually a...

Nice Linen jacket

Great linen jacket that fits like a barn jacket . Hits upper thigh length, heavier in weight. Too much going on with pockets- keeping it simple would have made this jacket for desirable ! Love the colors, but size down as the fit is huge!

Love the style. Fits a little big, regularly I'm small but I downsize it to XS (I'm 5.6 and 119) It's a very versatile piece for transitional weather days or evening summer nights. It's a classic you can keep for ever in your closet.

This jacket is insane . So many details. Every inch has cute little details that makes it special. Love the color, very unique, soft and beautiful that will go with everything. Very soft linen that is not itchy at all . Fit is oversized and I love it . It feels very luxurious and lightweight makes it perfect for spring summer and early fall . I can't wait ro wear it . Love the cinched sleeves , cinched waist all the pockets that are functional and useful, and zip at the front . I just love this very much . Very tempted for the green as well

Color Difference

Tried this jacket on in store in NYC for fit and I loved it— soft, thin, linen in a beautiful rosy taupe color as shown here on the website. I waited to purchase though, and ordered it online, however, the jacket I received is a very different color- really just a basic brown. It is still a good jacket and otherwise as in store, so will keep it, but am sad that the color is so different from shown. Also, it does run large.

This is such a nice, elevated lightweight coat. Easy to layer under. Can dress up or down. Super cozy, and love the color.

Comments about Archive Reissue Linen Chore Coat

Jacket arrived squeezed into the tiniest bag possible, which meant it was horribly and excessively creased, even for a linen jacket. Sleeves were wide and the drawstring detail was overly complex. Wanted to love it to replace a similar well worn jacket, but had to return and will keep on with my old one.

Love this coat. I am normally a medium and had to size down to a small and it is still oversized

Such a classic jacket. I had one similar to this about 20 years ago, loved it so much and wore it all the time. So glad that BR made this jacket! I love it! I usually wear a medium in BR tops (sometimes small), so went with Small in this and it's perfect.

Super lightweight summer outer layer—a great find for those of us who live in hot climates but love to wear jackets. Roomy & relaxed fit, but true to size. Bought both colors.

The proportions were all wrong with regards to length, placement of the drawstring waist, and sleeve length. Sleeves would be an expensive alteration due to the cool detailing. I'm usually a small and sometimes medium for a slim fit. The XS regular technically fit but was not flattering proportionately. BR has significantly cut back on both petite and tall sizing. It's baffling, because both are in demand and sell out quickly. The Shitake Taupe is a gorgeous cool toned neutral.
