I totally appreciate input from others! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-fit-on-gibson-linen-jacket#post-525702 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 18:12:35 +0000 Suz 525702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So grateful for this thread. Not that I was planning to order this specific jacket, but it is just so helpful to hear about these issues...after all, seeing how wonderful that Gibson Riding jacket is, a person could be forgiven for just assuming that everything they make is fab. This is why YLF is such a fantastic resource! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-fit-on-gibson-linen-jacket#post-525669 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 17:30:37 +0000 catgirl 525669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this at Nordie's too - it wasn't so wrinkled in the store but the color wasn't as emerald green as I expected and the cut was small and tight, as Rita said. If emerald is in the spotlight, more jackets will hopefully come down the pike! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-fit-on-gibson-linen-jacket#post-525566 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:55:19 +0000 Transcona Shannon 525566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for the more details info Rita - I totally trust your feeback so will pass on this one. Thanks again for "having my back"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-fit-on-gibson-linen-jacket#post-525561 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:49:10 +0000 modgrl 525561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not a good jacket. I know they've styled it ridiculously temptingly in the nordies catalog. it is my bathroom reading. I keep looking at it every day wondering why it didn't work for me. actually it is not just the wrinkles that are not good. the sleeves are "bracelet" length, which is a weird not long enough and not short enough length. Also, you can't tell from the pictures but the bottom front is shaped weird. I know you have to pay import duties and shipping on items from Nordie's, I just don't think this one is worth a gamble. I ordered the sp, which is my normal size. The fit is slim and shoulders are fitted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-fit-on-gibson-linen-jacket#post-525544 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:32:45 +0000 Transcona Shannon 525544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>May order two sizes then to see.<br /> Rita - I know many who hate the wrinkle factor of linen but I absolutely ADORE linen, wrinkles and all! Not something that bothers me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-fit-on-gibson-linen-jacket#post-525540 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 15:31:31 +0000 Angie 525540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have not fitted this jacket on anyone Shannon, so I'm no help I'm afraid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-fit-on-gibson-linen-jacket#post-525485 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:50:31 +0000 modgrl 525485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered this jacket. It is a rumpled mess!! It is linen and there is just no way to keep it looking fresh. I am on the look out for this color and shape in a different fabrication. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-fit-on-gibson-linen-jacket#post-525482 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:48:10 +0000 Transcona Shannon 525482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good morning Angie! I love that Kelly green Gibson linen jacket in your blog this morning. I actually put it in my wish list yesterday while browsing. I noticed a couple of the reviews indicated it ran small in the shoulders and arms and to size up. Have you heard anything about the fit? Thanks! </p>
