I prefer the proportions of the tall jacket. Looks great on you, Sveta!&nbsp;The fit looks good to me. In fact, yours fits like mine. But there's nothing wrong with trying the size up just to put your mind at ease. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-fit-of-gap-tweed-moto#post-1172909 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 21:47:00 +0000 Gigi 1172909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the tall, Sveta...looks good on you! I'm glad you're trying the next size up. I at least have a lot of peace of mind when I know I've covered all my bases. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-fit-of-gap-tweed-moto#post-1172770 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 19:01:29 +0000 texstyle 1172770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks beautiful Sveta - in the tall I think. In fact, I decided to order this speckled one to try too. I may get the navy as well since my BR navy moto is going to be worn out before long if I keep wearing it so often. If in doubt, I think trying the L is a good idea just to be sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-fit-of-gap-tweed-moto#post-1172754 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 18:49:02 +0000 Angie 1172754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES, Sveta. I have this jacket in navy (it's a lighter dark blue than ink). It is more versatile than the speckled navy&nbsp;for my wardrobe.&nbsp;</p> <p>Excited to see the next size up.&nbsp;</p> <p>High five, Inge.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-fit-of-gap-tweed-moto#post-1172748 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 18:40:28 +0000 Sveta 1172748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for helping me out!<br />So Tall size it is. I am also going to order one size up - maybe in both Tall and Regular&nbsp; - to compare. It went up the price again since I ordered but I am sure they will honor the same price for a different size. Stay tuned for more pictures!</p> <p>Angie, you are right, the fabric is great - very crisp for a cotton and the weave is tight so it is going to hold the shape well. Now if only I can decide on the size...:-)<br />Angie, did I understand correctly that you also got this Gap jacket in navy? Now you got me thinking that perhaps&nbsp;I should try solid navy as well... hmm, it does not make it any easier!!!<br />As for the jacket running large I am not sure. I often wear size&nbsp;M&nbsp;or 10 in Gap jackets. Last year faded denim moto (&nbsp;similar in style) was definitely running small as M was uncomfortably snug for me. My cobalt wool moto and this tweed moto run larger than the denim moto for sure as M is not snug at all but not as large because I am still questioning if I should&nbsp;size up to&nbsp;L. They both fit but M is almost tailored when closed and L is more along "straight lines" when closed. If it is supposed to fit straight then I would say it is true to size. If it is supposed to be tailored when closed than I would say it runs large.</p> <p>Jewell, the Tall is on the right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-fit-of-gap-tweed-moto#post-1172680 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 17:52:50 +0000 Elizabeth P 1172680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I just happened to notice that Gap has 35% off today, which is about as good as it gets, so all four sizes are now on their way to me.&nbsp; </p> <p>signed,<br />YLF Lemming </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-fit-of-gap-tweed-moto#post-1172675 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 17:49:23 +0000 Inge 1172675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*waving back*</p> <p>It's a fantastic jacket, isn't it, Sveta. I too vote Tall size for you, and further I echo everything Angie wrote about the fit of this jacket in general, and the more fluid way she is wearing it (I am too, as you already know;-)</p> <p>It looks great with your white jeans. I think this is going to be a very versatile piece in our wardrobes... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-fit-of-gap-tweed-moto#post-1172564 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 15:56:50 +0000 Lisa 1172564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh drat, why did I look at this?&nbsp; Now I want one.&nbsp; This looks like a super versatile jacket and I like the tall fit better, I prefer the longer length it has. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-fit-of-gap-tweed-moto#post-1172507 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 15:16:34 +0000 Angie 1172507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Waving to all my twins.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-fit-of-gap-tweed-moto#post-1172484 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 15:04:48 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1172484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely love this on you Sveta - agree that the tall version is the better fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-fit-of-gap-tweed-moto#post-1172478 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 15:01:47 +0000 cuffcat 1172478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The tall seems to look best on you. The regular seems to expose the shirt underneath too much. The color looks so pretty on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-fit-of-gap-tweed-moto#post-1172453 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:41:25 +0000 Elizabeth P 1172453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tall all the way!</p> <p>Speaking of agonizing over sizes, i have four of these in my basket at the moment... two sizes, both in regular and tall.&nbsp; pretty sure I'll want the tall though, esp after seeing these.&nbsp; Too short really makes me look square. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-fit-of-gap-tweed-moto#post-1172421 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 13:46:26 +0000 Anonymous 1172421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is gorgeous! I am tempted too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-fit-of-gap-tweed-moto#post-1172418 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 13:42:03 +0000 Suz 1172418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely tall.&nbsp;</p> <p>So interesting to read Angie's comments re the fit of the jacket. It's gorgeous and you are tempting me, Sveta... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-fit-of-gap-tweed-moto#post-1172377 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 12:04:38 +0000 Karie 1172377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's nice to know I'm not the only one who agonizes over two sizes. I think this size looks fine, and if it's not snug it doesn't look too fitted for a current fit. If returns are easy, you could order the next size up and we could&nbsp;compare, but that would mean more agonizing over sizes&nbsp;:(</p> <p>The tall size, definitely. It's a gorgeous moto! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-fit-of-gap-tweed-moto#post-1172356 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 11:05:32 +0000 Jewell 1172356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, I can't see pics as well on my phone. Is the tall the one on the left or right in the pictures? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-fit-of-gap-tweed-moto#post-1172265 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 05:18:11 +0000 Ginkgo 1172265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the tall. &nbsp;Looks good on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-fit-of-gap-tweed-moto#post-1172264 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 05:16:38 +0000 Angie 1172264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the tall best too. It's fantastic fabric isn't it?&nbsp;</p> <p>Fabulous look, Sveta. (Wave to Inge).&nbsp;Although I would have liked to compare it to the larger size, just to spilt hairs. You know I am pretty pedantic about fit. And at the moment modern fits are a little harder to gauge.&nbsp;</p> <p>The reviews coming through on this jacket on YLF say it runs large - Kelly you were one of those people who said so along with DonnaF and Laura. I guess I <i>really do</i> wear my things larger than tailored&nbsp;because I didn't think so. The fit is&nbsp;just a little more fluid than my black motos. (I have this in the navy). I think it's best not to go&nbsp;overly structured on this jacket. The lines are straight and so the fit should be straight too. Does that make sense?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-fit-of-gap-tweed-moto#post-1172258 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 05:12:10 +0000 carter 1172258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the tall as well.

This looks like a great summer jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-the-fit-of-gap-tweed-moto#post-1172216 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 04:33:53 +0000 Sveta 1172216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>( I could not resist to try this new to me feature above &nbsp;)</p> <p>I need more spring / summer toppers for freezing AC in my office so I took Angie's advice to shop for them now to heart. Gap tweed moto is the first contender.<br />I went to the mall on Sunday and tried 2 different sizes. After agonizing over them I decided to go with the smaller size and ordered it in regular and tall length. They arrived today...<br />Love the fabric, love that it is cotton AND lined in cotton - super for summer!<br />So please help me out:&nbsp;<br />- tall or regular?<br />- this size or should I size up? This size is comfortable everywhere but I think it may be too fitted closed for a current fit (still not snug at all).<br />-&nbsp;<br />What would be your verdict? Should I order size up and if so &nbsp;- regular or tall?<br />Or keep one of these? Or none at all?!</p> <p>Thanks!!! </p>
