Something about the cinched waist versus the big shoulders makes it looks like it is supposed to be fitted but isn't. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056745 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 17:37:00 +0000 Anonymous 1056745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can only see one pic, but I agree with others who have said the shoulder line and sleeves look bulky. It seems quite different from your pencil-skirt-polished look -- casual, of course, but&nbsp;just&nbsp;not as "you."&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056722 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 17:22:14 +0000 MsMary 1056722@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There isn't a smaller size.&nbsp; It's this or nothing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056708 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 17:13:59 +0000 Angie 1056708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the fit. Looks modern and fashion forward. But I hesitate to commit to a keep without seeing the smaller size, Mary.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056674 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 16:46:43 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1056674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am obviously not Angie but love the jacket.&nbsp; I see a bit of room in the back but not enough that I don't covet it.&nbsp; :)&nbsp; I see that the very fitted and tailored look is not quite as dominant as it has been and fits are slightly looser and am totally on board with the change. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056671 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 16:39:54 +0000 MsMary 1056671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bomber with a moto zip!&nbsp; Yeah!&nbsp; :)</p> <p>Thanks for all the input.&nbsp; The naysayers have not quite dissuaded me so I'm bumping for Angie... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056225 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 02:24:17 +0000 amiable 1056225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it too - it's a bomber with a moto zip </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056201 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 02:07:56 +0000 unfrumped 1056201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>But is it TRUE love? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056200 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 02:06:17 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1056200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually really like it. I think it has an intentionally masculine kind of drape to it. What does it look like with the sleeves scrunched Mary? </p> <p>I think it's a fun piece for casual wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056197 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 02:04:48 +0000 Suz 1056197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It can't be fluid fit if it's not fluid fabric. And this is not.&nbsp;</p> <p>But it <b>CAN</b> be oversized and look in intentional. I guess our eyes disagree about whether or not it does. Actually, my eyes can't decide. It does look sort of like the love child between a moto and a bomber.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056187 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 01:53:38 +0000 unfrumped 1056187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why isn't this fluid fit? Angie's blush moto seems kinda large as I recall, and oversized motos were on trend , I thought. I rather like it. I do think it would have been great to compare the size down to see if its just as comfy but a cleaner look- i always go eeny meeny about sizes. Another approach is to look for a mixed media bomber. But I didn't think there was a moto fit law. I mean, my word, look at the cocoon coats that look like you're wearing your Uncle Chewbacca's coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056181 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 01:43:34 +0000 Marley 1056181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute jacket - but, I think its too big for you MK.&nbsp; Because the sleeves are in a contrasting color it really emphasizes the shoulders (which look too big to me.)&nbsp;<br />Also, as someone else mentioned, I'm not crazy about this color for you.&nbsp; I think that your eye color and complexion look sooooo much better with a clear color, rather than a muddy one like the olive.<br />(Aren't you glad you asked???&nbsp; ;-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056179 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 01:41:59 +0000 ironkurtin 1056179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's too big.&nbsp; It looks like you're wearing your boyfriend's jacket -- remember when we did that sort of thing?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056174 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 01:33:25 +0000 Echo 1056174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to go with Janet here in that I rather like it. The side view and the front view are smashing, and if you were to wear this with sweaters or sweatshirts, would it look as big from the back? I guess I don't subscribe to the idea that everything needs to be snug in order to fit, and I don't see this as unacceptably oversized, just comfortable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056163 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 01:13:07 +0000 Anonymous 1056163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aha, Janet got me thinking. This does look like the love child of a moto and a bomber -- the sleeves are bomber and the body is a moto. That might be what is throwing me off, because I am used to the body of a bomber being poufier and balancing the sleeves, whereas the sleek straight cut of the moto usually goes with sleek straight cut sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056150 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 00:55:15 +0000 pil 1056150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the coat a lot, but agree that it looks big. It has kind of a parka vibe to me when it is open, but I'm not the one wearing it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056125 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 00:20:05 +0000 Janet 1056125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I may be an outlier here, but I like it on you. Not in a sleek fitted moto kind of way, but almost more like a casual bomber look. I love the side view too. I am surprising myself by enjoying a slightly oversized look in some things, as long as it doesn't look overwhelming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056118 Sat, 19 Oct 2013 00:09:16 +0000 Sheila 1056118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too big to me...sorry, I know you want to keep it. Do whatever pleases you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056094 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 23:51:32 +0000 Anonymous 1056094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am afraid to say it looks a bit big -- I can get behind the oversized fit in the body, but the sleeves look kind of poufy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056088 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 23:47:25 +0000 cciele 1056088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Mo said.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, will the color work with your wardrobe? When I saw the sleeves, my first thought was, "That's not what I think of as a MaryK color." I guess I'm used to seeing you in clearer colors. Then again, the olivey neutral might work well with your colors... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056081 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 23:44:07 +0000 kellygirl 1056081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks too big where the sleeves join the body and in the back. I like oversized but this overwhelms you,IMHO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056076 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 23:40:39 +0000 catgirl 1056076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's too big - if it didn't have the clear line between body and sleeve it would just look trendily oversized, but the contrast makes it look just not sized right.&nbsp; Too bad because it's cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056066 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 23:33:38 +0000 Suz 1056066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey! Welcome to the wonderful world of K/R . I actually find these threads super interesting.&nbsp;</p> <p>This looks great when your hands are in your pockets. I like all the things you like.&nbsp;</p> <p>But I worry about all the things you worry about, LOL.&nbsp;</p> <p>Would you alter the sleeves? If so, I think it could work.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056065 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 23:32:53 +0000 MsMaven 1056065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The body looks fine in the front, but it is a bit big in the back. &nbsp;The sleeves are &nbsp;big, although they look warm. &nbsp;You could definitely wear layers or a big sweater under this. &nbsp;</p> <p>Don't you hate it when they run out of your size? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056061 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 23:28:11 +0000 kkards 1056061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I had only seen the front views, I would have said it fits well, but from the back, it looks big. I don't think it's bad, but it's not perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056058 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 23:25:16 +0000 Ornella 1056058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's big. I vote R.&nbsp;My moto is nice and snug, but comfortably snug - and remember that leather jackets mould to your body over time too, but I have a feeling that when it starts as this slouchy/big it can not end up right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056056 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 23:24:30 +0000 Mo 1056056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure . . . closed it seems like a good fit, if maybe kinda puffy in the sleeve. &nbsp;When open is when I start to question if it's too big. &nbsp;Keep in mind, I had the same turmoil over my white Dorothy Perkins moto and kept it and am now so&nbsp;happy I did.<br />LOVE the mixed media contrast here! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056050 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 23:19:40 +0000 MsMary 1056050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is definitely a little big.&nbsp; I guess my question is whether it looks acceptably intentional.&nbsp; If that even makes any sense... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-keep-or-return-moto-jacket#post-1056048 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 23:18:09 +0000 kellygirl 1056048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks kind of big to me but I'm sensitive about shoulders. Curious to see what others think. </p>
