I think the yellowish bits are shadows, Biscuit, although it does have funky bone-colored buttons and a little buckle detail on the pockets that I will probably remove or replace. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-blazer-possibility#post-863647 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 21:53:16 +0000 Caro in Oz 863647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love linen too. If you don't mind the creases I think it's worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-blazer-possibility#post-863628 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 21:36:56 +0000 biscuitsmom 863628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I 'like' it, maybe its my monitor, but is there yellow(ish) coloring around the pockets? I know buying on eBay can be a pain the a**, but I wish you luck! Have you looked at any knitwear to use as a topper? Honestly, I avoid linen as much as possble, cuz the wrinkling drives me nuts </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-blazer-possibility#post-863611 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 21:18:06 +0000 jayne 863611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a linen blazer about this length and it hardly wrinkles because it is not too long that I sit on it, and is heavy enough weight to hold wrinkles at bay. It is very similar in style to the one you show also, I had to check twice to make sure it wasn't exactly the same! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-blazer-possibility#post-863269 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 16:56:40 +0000 Anonymous 863269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What's your price range? I just ordered this linen blazer from J. Crew in the white. I had a 20% code that made it $112.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Navigation/Sale/AllProducts/PRDOVR~37852/99102922469/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~15~~0~15~all~mode+matchallany~~~~~linen+blazer/37852.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Navig...../37852.jsp</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-blazer-possibility#post-863223 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:56:24 +0000 lyn67 863223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't mind wrinkles on linen, so if not expensive-give it a go! (you can ask measurements for bust waist hips, total length and sleeves for not buying blind)<br /> (i gave you some links on your other thread, too:-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-blazer-possibility#post-863194 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:28:22 +0000 Angie 863194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love linen. I vote try it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-blazer-possibility#post-863184 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 15:13:47 +0000 Mander 863184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure if I could return it, but the price is quite low so I'm not that worried about it. I could probably sell it on to someone else for a similar price.</p> <p>As for the wrinkling factor, Suz is right -- it's an academic conference, and in a very casual field at that, so being a bit wrinkly is not necessarily a bad thing. I am attracted to the linen because it is a classic hot-climate fabric, and I am anticipating hot weather (at least to me -- I have become very accustomed to my chilly local climate and I get hot easily in any case).</p> <p>The length could be an issue, and maybe the shape of the lapels. I could probably adjust the side seams a bit if necessary to give it more shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-blazer-possibility#post-863147 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 13:54:16 +0000 Suz 863147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CAN you return it, Mander, if needed to? </p> <p>I don't mind a few wrinkles, myself. And yours is an academic conference, no? Not super formal? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-blazer-possibility#post-863130 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 13:38:00 +0000 Thistle 863130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would pass. Linen wrinkles like nobody's business, and unless you are super familiar with the brand and know how it will fit, you can't return it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-blazer-possibility#post-863120 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 13:31:42 +0000 missvee 863120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally I love the casual wrinkled effect of linen so that wouldn't be a deal breaker for me. The jacket does look a bit short though. Were you able to get accurate measurements from the seller? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-blazer-possibility#post-863102 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 13:02:36 +0000 Archer 863102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see what rate means and especially if your conference capsule is a travelling one. I have a very similar jacket and it stays unpressed for ages. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-blazer-possibility#post-863058 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 10:39:26 +0000 rute 863058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Linen is such a difficult fabric because it wrinkles a lot!<br /> It seems a little boxy also, i would pass </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-blazer-possibility#post-863055 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 10:24:03 +0000 Mander 863055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, this one is on eBay so I can't try it on, but it would be in my price range. It's pure white, 56% linen. I would probably change the buttons and the buckle trim to something a bit more plain.</p> <p>FYI, my little conference capsule is shaping up to be mostly black and white, and I have been looking out for a white jacket for a while in any case -- it would be useful in my spring/summer wardrobe in general. </p>
