Marks and Spencer have brought out a "cosy" aviator jacket that's perfect for autumn, and is very similar to a far more expensive design available at Whistles.
Marksies' Faux Shearling Borg Lined Aviator Jacket has a "snug" borg lining – a sheepskin-like material that's very similar to shearling.
This makes the jacket a perfect choice for colder days as winter approaches.
The chocolate brown jacket is available in sizes 6-22, and is also available in black.
The regular fit means it’s ideal for layering with chunky jumpers, and the asymmetric zip will help keep out the chill.
The product hasn't been on sale for long, but already has seven rave reviews from happy customers.
One person was delighted as they said the jacket was "warm, cosy and looks much more expensive than it is".
They added: "I wasn't sure about this initially as it was faux sheepskin, but it looks good quality, and the cut seems right. I think will get worn a lot once the weather gets colder."
Another person hailed their purchase as "a great buy".
"Super warm with the Borg lining, but none of the heavy weight or maintenance that comes with a real sheepskin version. Great price, comfortable fit (enough room for a warm sweater. Lovely and cosy. Perfect with jeans or equally smart with a winter dress and boots."
Another person penned: "I love it!! I am a larger lady and have fawned over these jackets only available in small sizes. It’s perfect!! Great length, super quality, nice and snug. It’s amazing value. Thank you M&S."
However, one shopper issued a warning to prospective buyers over the sizing of the jacket.
They said: "Gorgeous jacket but if you're petite it will swamp you. This jacket in the right size 10 that I usually wear is mid thigh on me and looks like I'm wearing a mans jacket/
"It's huge, so baggy and unless you are very tall it will be extremely long . So sadly this is going back, looks good quality."
The jacket has a very similar look to the Whistles Shearling Brooke Biker Jacket, which retails for £1,199.
It is made from lamb leather with real shearling lining and is also in a relaxed fit with a belt.
The M&S version is still an investment piece. but is 15 times cheaper at just £79.
It was released as part of M&S' autumn campaign, titled ‘Anything but Ordinary,' for which the much loved British high-street brand teamed up with the ultimate cool girl Sienna Miller.
Not only does it capture the true essence of Brit Dressing, the collection reflects Sienna’s relaxed, effortless style in which fans have grown to love her for – however, without the high-end price tag.
Commenting on the designs, Sienna said, "I have always had a genuine love for Marks & Spencer.
"It's a brand that is part of the fabric of British life and holds special associations for so many people. I am thrilled to be joining this iconic company, fronting their autumn campaign and being a part of their journey in shaping the future of fashion."
