Sorry Boris didn't work out. </p> <p>I'm trying not to look at the other replies so I don't color my initial impression. I love that two-tone moto in 3 so much. If you ever want to part with it, let me know! The ivory blazer is great, too. I am not a big fan of #4 although I want to be. I like it in concept ( asymmetry, unusual pockets, etc.), but somehow it's not grabbing me. Maybe it's the white, maybe it's the collar... #5 is interesting, but I think I like the regular shoulder line better, which kind of negates the point, doesn't it? I think I kind of want to see that one styled more casually, with jeans and an edgier top. </p> <p>You have great taste. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-boris-replacements-and-kr-jackets-edition#post-729042 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 21:01:39 +0000 CocoLion 729042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the Classics cream and dark sleeved jacket is ultra-fab. It really jumped out as a stunning, on trend and super flattering piece. You must keep this.</p> <p>And I love your collection of Boris - rebound jackets. The assym jacket open is too cool for words. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-boris-replacements-and-kr-jackets-edition#post-729028 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 20:30:27 +0000 bj1111 729028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i think i'm going to road test my jackets this coming week. if i can't find a way to use them, i will send them back--as much as they are individually great pieces. i can't afford more closet orphans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-boris-replacements-and-kr-jackets-edition#post-728844 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 14:36:16 +0000 bj1111 728844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i probably would char it in a bunsen burner accident because i'm so clumsy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-boris-replacements-and-kr-jackets-edition#post-728754 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 09:22:26 +0000 Scarlet 728754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, does it launder well? :o) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-boris-replacements-and-kr-jackets-edition#post-728742 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 07:17:07 +0000 bj1111 728742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>scarlet, i have the same associations. i love a white coat/jacket in concept, but on the body...i look ready to pipette! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-boris-replacements-and-kr-jackets-edition#post-728718 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 05:22:25 +0000 Scarlet 728718@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My absolute best is the first jacket. Besides that though all are good except for the white lab coat in 4 (sorry, that is my association, but you have to consider the source too). I think on 5 it's hard to rely on a photo. I think I would reserve judgement without seeing it in real life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-boris-replacements-and-kr-jackets-edition#post-728699 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 04:37:34 +0000 MNsara 728699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am jacket overwhelmed I have to tune out all the ones that aren't up for K/R (1,2,5) and only think about pics 3-4.</p> <p>I adore both jackets in 3. They are wxtremely different from each other, but both fit nicely, flatter, and look fab for light leather needs. #4 isn't doing anything for me. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-boris-replacements-and-kr-jackets-edition#post-728637 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 02:18:00 +0000 bj1111 728637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok...mixed messages about the white jacket (#4) and the blue jacket with the flipped out shoulder thingies.</p> <p>interesting all the love for the two-toned jacket with the leather sleeves. of all the jackets i got, this (to me) was closest to the chopping block! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-boris-replacements-and-kr-jackets-edition#post-728586 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 01:41:18 +0000 Jonesy 728586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it is sad about Boris, but I'd say you've healed the hole in your heart :). I love the two-toned jacket especially. Agree that the jacket in #4 isn't all that. I like the fourth jacket with the shoulder thingies flipped in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-boris-replacements-and-kr-jackets-edition#post-728577 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 01:34:04 +0000 Jaime 728577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Feeling overwhelmed by fabulous jackets! My first impression favorites were the first one in #1, and the drapey one in #2. Not crazy for the white one, but apart from that most everything looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-boris-replacements-and-kr-jackets-edition#post-728574 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 01:32:37 +0000 bj1111 728574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>suz, i got it at the theory store in melrose in april of this year. i went to shopstyle and i couldn't find it anywhere.</p> <p>i did find a version in cobalt still available --like the one janet has. in orange, too.</p> <p><a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/browse?fts=theory+elenian+leather+jacket" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopstyle.com/brows.....her+jacket</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-boris-replacements-and-kr-jackets-edition#post-728543 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 01:04:35 +0000 Suz 728543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. I WANT that first jacket, the navy Theory. Is it still available do you think? It's exactly what I have been looking for. </p> <p>I love the others in that photo, too, and equally love the asymmetrical one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-boris-replacements-and-kr-jackets-edition#post-728539 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 00:54:47 +0000 bj1111 728539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks, angie and all on the feed back!</p> <p>in photo 5, it's the same jacket. the shoulder leather trim can be flipped out to give a sharp shouldered look. i think i got a bit goggled by that detail and that i was looking for navy suiting instead of black that i didn't look at the whole jacket. i will have to live with the jacket for a while because it's not returnable. i may pass it on to my sister who also liked the jacket.</p> <p>r </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-boris-replacements-and-kr-jackets-edition#post-728536 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 00:49:02 +0000 Angie 728536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm here! </p> <p>All the jackets in #1 are great! Navy moto is very now, and the light grey Helmut Lang is perfect with white and silver for Spring 2013.</p> <p>In #2, I love the asymmetrical jacket OPEN. The bomber is cute too. </p> <p>In #3, both are KILLER. </p> <p>In #4, I love the jacket! It's on trend again. SO much white for next year. </p> <p>I am confused by #5. Is it the same jacket? In one shot it has a sharp shoulder, and in the other shot it doesn't. It might need a new home </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-boris-replacements-and-kr-jackets-edition#post-728532 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 00:38:11 +0000 bj1111 728532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>bumping for angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-boris-replacements-and-kr-jackets-edition#post-728435 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 22:55:55 +0000 bj1111 728435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>cf, fixed pic 5. what do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-boris-replacements-and-kr-jackets-edition#post-728432 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 22:53:03 +0000 cinnamon fern 728432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't see pic #5!</p> <p>If you're going to return any of the ones in 3 &amp; 4, return the ivory TT - not as exciting as the others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-boris-replacements-and-kr-jackets-edition#post-728431 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 22:52:46 +0000 bj1111 728431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you put your finger on it! i do like chanel and i do like edgy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-boris-replacements-and-kr-jackets-edition#post-728429 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 22:51:18 +0000 annagybe 728429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm really not a fan of #4. It looks like it's trying to be avant garde Chanel jacket and failing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-boris-replacements-and-kr-jackets-edition#post-728422 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 22:44:09 +0000 bj1111 728422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well...i have to keep all the ones in 1/2. old purchases worn, or new purchases from boutiques in california with a a restrictive return policy. of the ones that i have to keep, the blue cut25 is my only regret. (new pic 5 added to original post.) if you think that some of these should go to a good home, i'm open to shipping them to my sister who likes these jackets as well.</p> <p>if the k/r jackets (pics 3/4) are all killer pieces, i am open to keeping them all, even if my wallet weeps tears. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-boris-replacements-and-kr-jackets-edition#post-728417 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 22:38:19 +0000 Angie 728417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW!! Nice to see you post again. I have missed you. </p> <p>How many can you keep? There are quite a few killer pieces </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-boris-replacements-and-kr-jackets-edition#post-728376 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 22:02:55 +0000 bj1111 728376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hi, all, </p> <p>apologies in advance for inundating you. i inadvertently syc'ed the last 3 months, now i have binge-shopped. </p> <p>hoping for some advice to narrow and stream line my closet.</p> <p>for those of you who remember, i bought a fab leather poncho in the spring, named boris.<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-second-thoughts-about-boris-the-cape-from-chicago-ylf" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....hicago-ylf</a></p> <p>i eventually returned boris because it was too difficult to wear. instead i got 4 jackets to fill the hole in my heart.</p> <p>pic 1: theory leather moto in dark blue; theyskens black leather blazer; helmut gray leather with suede trim.<br /> pic 2: helmut asymmetric jacket with leather trim at the shoulders and the pocket pleats--this is black but i tweaked the photo to show the shape; michael stars cross between a bomber and a letter jacket with a sweatshirt body and leather sleeves worn two ways--again this is black but i tweaked the photo to show the pocket details.</p> <p>the next set are my binge buy jackets and am looking for advice on which ones, if any, to keep</p> <p>pic 3: theyskens ivory blazer--a warm ivory, unlike the helmut gray which seems cold; pale grey classiques zip up blazer with a warm olive leather sleeves--sleeve have a zip trim at the wrist</p> <p>pick 4: theyskens white blazer with a cutaway front and a square tail. worn two ways to give you an idea of how i planned to wear it. the texture didn't come out as well as it has a boucle/tiny fringe texture to it with a sheen. </p> <p>seems schizophrenic, my jacket choices. i think i'm really draw to clean graphic shapes with interesting texture. i need advice on how to wear the k/r jackets if they are a keep.</p> <p>ETA: another jacket that i have to keep--a blue cut25 jacket with leather trim. i think i bought this because i love the concept being able to flip the shoulder leather trim out to create a stronger shoulder line.</p> <p>ETA again: pic 5 is now up. </p>
