I'm ordering a Best Buy jacket for myself to wear to work because it's cold in my store (thanks AC lol)...even on days when it's 80 degrees outside, I've been wearing sweaters while at work, and even then I'm often still colder than I'd like to be.

So anyway...I'm wondering if I should order a women's or a men's jacket. The women's jacket will be more tailored, but the men's has a chest pocket which I think is pretty nifty and useful.

I think I would want a women's large just to be sure, and since I have a jacket of similar material that's a medium and it's a tad snug, but what would that translate to in men's?

Anyway, I'm ordering tomorrow, so help?

Where would you be ordering this from? I'm not sure I know what type of jacket you're referring to.

From a website that only Best Buy employees can use...this is what the jacket looks like (women's version):



And men's version:

i like the women's version! Get that in a large . its not fair the women's doesn't have a pocket! I am girly though so thats just my opinion

I like the woman's version a bit more than the man's.

I agree 100% that it's not fair that the women's doesn't have a pocket! I'm sort of girly (dress super girly), but I'm not actually super girly.

But I think I'll order the women's in a large.

The main difference I see is the shoulders and beneath the arms. It is going to bebaggy through the body. The woman's is more tailored. However, the man's may be better for layering up clothes beneath.

I ended up ordering the women's. I'm not worried about layering underneath. These jackets are pretty warm despite their thinness. At the most I would layer a long sleeve shirt plus my uniform polo...and I'm the queen of layering. At my old store, which I worked at November through January I would often go to work with 5 layers and you couldn't even tell!

Also with getting the women's no one will say anything about me wearing a men's uniform item.

It should arrive by next Friday...and I hope it comes by Thursday because I leave then for my brother's wedding, and I don't really want a package just sitting outside my door for 3 days. Not that I think anyone will take or mess with it, but still.
