M&S shoppers say £49.50 utility jacket is ‘one of the best buys made’

As the chill of winter subsides, fashion aficionados are ditching their heavy coats for spring’s lighter alternatives. For those considering a new addition to their wardrobe, M&S has unveiled a stylish utility jacket that has won praise from customers for its versatility, with reviews declaring it “one of the best buys made in a long time”.

Crafted from a breezy cotton canvas fabric, the Pure Cotton Lightweight Utility Jacket, priced at £49.50, is perfect for everyday wear with its utility-inspired features like multiple front pockets, a chic high-neck collar, and easy-to-use popper fastenings. Coupled with a cinching drawstring waist for a flattering shape, this on-trend garment pairs seamlessly with casual denims and trousers as well as smart attire for a diverse range of looks this season.

The piece has been celebrated on the M&S website, achieving a stellar average review score of 4.5 out of five stars.

One delighted customer remarked: “Fabulous jacket. Utility jacket is fabulous everyday wear for cooler days, love it and the compliments.”

Another satisfied buyer commented: “Looking for a longer length denim jacket when I came across this green jacket. One of the best buys I have made in a long time, had many compliments”, reports Birmingham Live.

A third reviewer added: “It’s such a useful jacket to wear anytime. Great colour green which I can wear with virtually anything, when needed I wear a brighter green scarf with it. Fits well in usual size, sleeves and length of jacket perfect for me at 5’4. Would highly recommend.”

Others mentioned sizing issues, with one person saying: “Great jacket. Will certainly get a lot of wear out of this. Comes up large. Normally I wear size 14 but size 12 is more than big enough.

Someone else remarked: “Really nice jacket – normal size was way too big so have sized down and now it’s great. Lovely heavyweight, slightly brighter green than I would like but it will be lovely for spring with jeans so will keep.
