This jacket is stylish, cute, and unique looking. I get lots of compliments on this jacket and it fits great. I frequently have to be outside so it's perfect for keeping me dry in the rain.

Perfection!

Is it funny that I'm actually hoping for a rainy day to wear this incredibly cute rain jacket? I agree with another reviewer that I wish the cuffs had the cute pattern to add some flare when rolling up the sleeves. I usually wear a size 2 but they were out of this size in the yellow color so I opted for the 4. It seems a little roomy but for a jacket that is generally ok. The color is so bright and the hood detail makes it all pop.
Thanks Boden!

I don't know why it seems so hard to find a jacket with a hood these days, so Boden, I thank you. In Ohio, and with a child that I need to get in and out of a car seat, this perfect little raincoat is ideal. It has a nice classic look with spunk. After reading the other reviews, I did buy the 8 over the 6 to give just a bit more room for layering as the weather would dictate. Exactly the raincoat I have been looking for.

I've wanted a short rain coat for a while, and this hits most of my requirements. I would prefer side pockets instead of top flap pockets, but these are not uncomfortable to use. I really love the inside fabric. Boden always pays attention to the details.

Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase.

I am a 14 but a 12 fits perfect. I have two of the original Rainy Day Macs--love them!!! The original is very flattering and this new version is much more boxy and not flattering at all. It is cute and will keep it but must say it is not just a shorter version of the original-which bummed me out. Was surprised by the material too, it is more like a traditional raincoat.

The buttons on this jacket overwhelmed me. I am petite though. (And, speaking of which, Boden: PLEASE MAKE SOME RAINWEAR FOR PETITE WOMEN!) The contrast lining is lovely and the fabric seemed perfect for spring showers. I typically wear a 4R when a petite size isn't available and I found this a bit tighter than usual across the shoulders and chest than other 4Rs I've tried on.

I was looking for something like this for a while. Great combination of practical and outdoor style with fashion!

I love this Rainy Day Mac, I've had my eye on one for awhile and was pleased to purchase the shorter version. I'm usually either a 4 or 6 in Boden, but I decided to go with the 6 so I could wear sweaters comfortably under the coat and I'm glad I did.

I love the bright yellow mac on a rainy day and the white buttons and lining make it special and fun to wear- but FYI thi is not a shorter version of the classic Rainy Day Mac - the material is shinier, lighter, more like a classic raincoat without extra warmth.
Other differences: The hood is not removable, which is fine. It is a button only closure - no zipper. The pockets are not side pockets, just top button-flap closure and this was/is very hard to get used to for me. They aren't as useful as the side and top pockets the Classic Rainy Day Mac have. I liked the tapered arm fit, the sleeves were just the right length for me and I have longer arms.
Bonus: I am a teacher and two 8th grade boys (hard to impress!) both admired my coat extensively. Must be good
A fun coat but not an every day coat for most. Still, very useful in rainy Seattle where I live.
