The Second Wind Jacket - Break The Ice

MOTHER mostly fits true to size with a snug waist and long legs, but a handful of denim cuts stray a full size in either direction.

Owners and denim reviewers land on true to size as the baseline — one petite reviewer wears her usual 25 "in most Mother styles," and an editorial roundup calls the fit true to size and slightly snug in the waist. The caveat is cut-level: reviewers report the Insider and Looker styles running small and the Ditcher and Dodger running large, with one long-term buyer ranging from a 24 to a 26 across styles. Tops and sweatshirts draw quieter feedback but are consistently reported true to size with a relaxed cut. Inseams run long, so shorter wearers lean on the Lil (petite) line or plan to hem.

Sizing advice: Order your usual size as the default, but check the specific cut's reviews first — size up in the Insider/Looker-type slim crops, down in the Ditcher/Dodger, and consider the Lil line if you're petite.

What's my size at MOTHER?

MOTHER's jackets are cut from the same soft, stretch-blended denim that dominates owner commentary on the brand: reviewers describe the fabric as very soft and flexible, holding up to near-daily wear, with prices running roughly $170 to $700 across the line. Jacket-specific owner data is thinner than for the jeans, but a few dozen renters of the core Drifter denim-jacket style on Rent the Runway average it 4.5 stars, with most reporting a true-to-size fit and a handful finding it large. The softness cuts both ways — reviewers note that anyone wanting rigid, traditional denim may find the fabric too soft.

Strengths

Very soft, stretch-blended denim with fits owners call flattering and comfortable, and durability reviewers say survives near-daily wear.

Watch out for

The stretch-heavy softness disappoints anyone expecting rigid traditional denim, prices sit at the premium end, and fit varies enough between cuts that reviewers tell buyers to check the size guide every time.

Sizing

Fit varies by cut — some styles run small or snug, so reviewers advise double-checking the size guide, though most renters found the core denim-jacket style true to size.
