I have seen them in the store and tried there. So I knew that the size fits me definitely. Only the wide range of colors I could not find anywhere else, so I bought them online. The jacket is really refined and holds a lot of surprises. Right outside is a leather label that says "Yummy Mädsche!" and on the washing label inside the jacket is "Schnizzel Dizzel Popizzel" Why? ... you do not know, but it's awesome!
