Columbia Plus Size Lightweight Quilted Insulated Sienna Hill Jacket

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ll start by saying that I really love this jacket. But the quality is questionable. The good is that the jacket is perfect for layering and it’s cute! The look is different than most other Columbia jackets. I like the snaps at the sleeve. The colors are stylish. It is lightweight and feels good on. It does run huge so a size down worked best for me. It is so generously sized that I can still wear a sweater underneath it while sizing down. Now the bad is that the side seams do split. I’ve already returned one as defective thinking it was a fluke, but it is happening again. I’ve washed it twice now, this last time a whole strip of material was in the wash. I could not find where it came from! I even washed it in a mesh bag to protect it exactly as advised on the tag. I am concerned that the sides will keep splitting upwards. Hope there can be a fix.
