Good jacket for mild autumn/spring weather, interesting style
This is a good quality jacket with an interesting but not too stand-out pattern at the front created by two layers (black mesh over a light fabric), with the arms and back solid black. It is reminiscent of muted German fashion in the 90s and 00s, and that's the first thing that came to mind when I put it on and looked in the mirror.Pockets are a little further back than on other jackets but are of a good size.In terms of thickness, this is good for temperatures around 10 degrees C, maybe a bit lower; so I would say spring/autumn.The zip is unusually tough to engage at the bottom, but then zips up fine. I hope this will soften over time.

A nice lightweight summer jacket...
I liked the look of this jacket from the off. The subtle honeycomb design on the front really makes this jacket standout. It is well constructed and fits as I expected. All the seams are well finished. It is a lightweight jacket despite it being described as a sweat jacket. It will keep you warm on a cool summer day but I wouldn't wear it in extremely cold weather. A really nice quality summer jacket to wear on those chilly summer evenings.

Casual larger sized jacket
Lovely casual jacket for mild to warmer weather. The jacket fits my husband perfectly and looks very fashionable. It has a mesh like finish on a comfortable light lining. The jacket is medium to lightweight and looks and feels just right for the Summer months. It is an excellent buy.

Light-weight casual jacket
This is a good light-weight jacket. Ideal for spring/summer. Fabric looks good and jacket is well made. It measures 50" around chest (XXXL) and fitted well. Looks good over a t-shirt. Blouson-styling. Nice jacket.

Good jacket.
Good construction, good quality fabrics and components and generously sized. This is like a posh tracksuit top. It's quite thick and warm - ideal for Spring or Autumn days. Good price for what it is.Design wise - I'm not keen on the mesh at the front, but my husband doesn't mind it. Useful jacket for him.

Good looking jacket but slightly let down by the use of lace as a component of this jacket.
This jacket is good looking, with a modern look and feels medium warm, which is exactly as described by the company, and is perfect for cooler evenings or days when you are not out for long but its a bit chilly.It has an unusual fabric combination, which consists of a solid base covered with a black lace mesh. I do not think the mesh is a good idea for a jacket, as there is too much scope for it to tear and leave the jacket looking old and tatty, and lace is not something I would readily associate with a mans jacket. I think the idea was a good one, to give the shimmer, but I rather either the actual shimmery fabric be used, or forget the idea, as lace is not hardwearing on a jacket.Regarding the manufacture quality of this, on arrival the zip was very difficult to do up at the start point. I used some candle wax on the zip and did it up and undid it about 20 times which freed it up to the point it did up fine.

Get in a mesh...
This jacket has a decent weight and warmth, fine for Summer nights or Autumn days, and the mesh front gives it an unusual sportswear look - if I was American I'd probably call it 'Athleisure' but thankfully I don't have to do that. It's also sized slightly bigger than normal, I took a Large and wasn't sure it would fit me across the shoulders or sleeves where normally I'd need an Extra Large, but it's fine. The sleeves are quite slim cut but they're stretchy polyester and so accommodate a bit of bicep, if you're lucky enough to have any.The cut of the body is unusual as there's a lot of extra room around the bottom of the jacket although the elasticated waistband holds it in. So if you're a bit beer-bellied then this jacket's got you covered, without having to stretch to do it. On someone slim it still fits fine, it just looks like maybe you've got stuff in your pockets. Speaking of pockets, they're large but not that practical and stuff will tend to fall out of them - they're more horizontal than vertical, if you understand, and made more for keeping your hands warm on cold days. There's no inside pocket although the lining of the main pockets forms a kind of pouch you could put things in, even if it's not really meant for that.The black mesh front covers a plain white cotton lining and this gives a dark grey textured look to the jacket, it's darker looking in real-life than the photo's might show. The mesh is relatively soft and very flexible, avoiding that cheese-grater feel, but you'd have to be slightly careful not to snag it on anything. It's reasonably well made too, though nothing special, and represents decent value with an unusual look.
