The cozy jacket that keeps me warm — without the puff.
On the soft quilted jacket with a relaxed, oversized fit, a stand collar and roomy front pockets — the easy everyday layer you'll throw on over your favorite sweater from the first chilly morning on.
I am 59 years old, and somewhere along the way getting dressed stopped being a pleasure. The comfortable things in my closet were shapeless and dull; the pretty things pinched, clung, or showed more arm than I wanted to show. So most mornings I settled for “fine.”
I didn't realize how much that wore on me until a friend from my book club turned up to lunch looking relaxed and elegant at the same time. When I asked where her dress was from, she smiled and told me to read the Wrenley family's letter before I bought anything.
The Wrenley Family runs a small boutique, family-owned since 1996. Their letter walks through the handful of things they refused to compromise on. I am going to let their words carry it, because they say it better than I could.
1Warm, without the bulk
Soft square quilting gives you lightweight warmth without the puffy look of a heavy coat. It keeps you cozy from chilly mornings to breezy evenings — and feels so light you'll forget you have it on.
2Room for your favorite sweater
The relaxed, oversized fit layers smoothly over a chunky knit without feeling tight across the shoulders or arms. It still looks flattering and put-together — never boxy — and the elasticated hem gives it a neat, finished shape.
3Roomy pockets for cold hands
Two roomy front pockets give you a warm place for your hands on a walk, and somewhere to keep your phone or keys when you head out the door.
4Quick on, quick off
A full front zip makes it easy to throw on and take off — zip it up when the wind picks up, or wear it open over a sweater. The stand collar keeps the breeze off your neck without needing a scarf.
5The easy everyday layer
Wear it with jeans, trousers or a casual dress — for brunch, errands, a coffee on the porch or a weekend away. It's the jacket you'll reach for every day once the weather turns cooler.
6Five colors, sizes XS to 3XL
Choose from Green, Black, Blue, Khaki or Gray — easy colors that go with almost everything. The jacket comes in sizes XS all the way to 3XL, made to fit the woman, not to make the woman fit the jacket.

I do not usually write things like this. But I spent too many years settling for clothes that were merely fine — and this one dress quietly gave me back the pleasure of getting dressed. If that sounds like you, I hope you find your size before it's gone.
