It has no insulation, just lining. </p> <p>I also realize that the outfit has to handle a leopard coat (i.e. plain bottom half and no wild sleeves sticking out), but I have other mid-season coats for those occasions and I bet you do too.</p> <p>I appreciate its longer length for covering the tunic top, or the longer sweater, or even a blazer hem. I LOVE its length over a black pencil skirt - so retro, glam ;-)</p> <p>I wouldn't want to wear it every day, I want to wear it a couple times a week and feel extra fab and I DO want to perk up my coat wardrobe -- 'cuz we sure have to wear them a lot :-\ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-leopard-coats-which-one-if-any/page/2#post-401551 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 13:19:34 +0000 Vix 401551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with the fans of 1/2 for the silhouette reasons mentioned...but also with the voices that say, "only if practical given Alaska weather and life AND you will commit to wearing it over other jackets."</p> <p>If it's basically a throw on for errands/get-togethers where you are going from car to building then it should be okay, yes?</p> <p>ps I have a vintage wool coat with 3/4 sleeves that only comes out for 30s and below weather (vs "30 below," brrrr) and I find long gloves both practical and fun. So I wouldn't let sleeve length stop you if it you can make it work otherwise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-leopard-coats-which-one-if-any/page/2#post-401545 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 13:01:03 +0000 Suz 401545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 1/2 on you; looks fantastic! </p> <p>And I love the whole idea of bracelet sleeves. </p> <p>BUT...as someone who lives in a cold climate at least half the year, I have to say it might be impractical. Yes, you can get long gloves, but long gloves don't exactly cut it if you are talking about 30 below. So it really depends how and when you want to wear it, I suspect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-leopard-coats-which-one-if-any#post-401541 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 12:44:55 +0000 Janet 401541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I might be crazy because it's not as obvious to me as it seems to everyone else! </p> <p>I like both for different reasons. The first seems more sleek and sophisticated -- beautiful, but also a bit dressy. </p> <p>I think the second is also great on you, but it's more jacket-y and casual. So, to me, it depends on how you envision wearing it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-leopard-coats-which-one-if-any#post-401475 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 05:05:06 +0000 Marley 401475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first one - no contest.

Lower contrast is easier on the eye, the silhouette is gently bell-like (while the other is boxy), just all round beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-leopard-coats-which-one-if-any#post-401453 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 04:35:39 +0000 Refugee 401453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely 1 (and I am not a huge fan of bracelet length) it looks great. Send 2 immediately to your friend's daughter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-leopard-coats-which-one-if-any#post-401430 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 03:50:05 +0000 catgirl 401430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna and Jonesy, good points. I can wear it over a jacket (I sized up for that reason). Bracelet sleeves are not as much of a problem as the lack of insulation. However, unless it's super-cold, I don't wear really warm coats during the week when I'm mostly commuting. I'm pondering. </p> <p>The other coat is a past purchase from F21 by the way. To the teenager it goes! Regardless of whether I keep the Guess coat, I think she will use the F21 coat more than I do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-leopard-coats-which-one-if-any#post-401410 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 03:22:03 +0000 Jonesy 401410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the first one, but I too wonder about how much wear you'll get from it, especially given the bracelet sleeves. Can you wear it over a jacket, so you could wear it to work for a few weeks in fall when it's not too cold yet :)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-leopard-coats-which-one-if-any#post-401409 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 03:20:16 +0000 annagybe 401409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Guess one, but also the voice of reason. I have a faux fur leopard jacket that I never wear. Mine isn't never worn because it's not very warm, but when it's warm enough it's not very seasonal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-leopard-coats-which-one-if-any#post-401389 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 02:59:49 +0000 Deborah 401389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 / #2 - no contest.

This is a win-win situation: you get an awesome new coat and your friend's daughter gets one, too. How cool is that! And get the long gloves - problem solved! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-leopard-coats-which-one-if-any#post-401371 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 02:41:48 +0000 rae 401371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first one! I think it creates a more balanced shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-leopard-coats-which-one-if-any#post-401369 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 02:41:03 +0000 MNsara 401369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1/2, please. We can be leopard twins (or quintuplets, or whatever by now ;-)</p> <p>Great idea for the long gloves too! I scooped some up late last winter and never felt the need to wear them -- yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-leopard-coats-which-one-if-any#post-401368 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 02:40:05 +0000 Sveta 401368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1! #1! #1!<br /> Una, my new red coat has bracelet length sleeves too and it works either with long gloves or long sleeves under it. I think it also should work with bare arms and - well, bracelet - if it is warm enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-leopard-coats-which-one-if-any#post-401362 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 02:33:19 +0000 Sylvie 401362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's unanimous! Definitely #1. I also prefer the longer length and absence of shading. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-leopard-coats-which-one-if-any#post-401360 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 02:31:55 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 401360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #1. Very pretty and great cut on you. It is a wow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-leopard-coats-which-one-if-any#post-401356 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 02:26:19 +0000 Anonymous 401356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1! Altogether more elegant, longer, leaner and a better collar. Sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-leopard-coats-which-one-if-any#post-401333 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 02:00:17 +0000 nicoleb 401333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1! Just pair with some long gloves Una! Alaska isn't going to know what to do with itself when they see you out in that! ;)</p> <p>On a side note, a friend of mine just told me Anchorage is getting a Sephora! Yay for you guys! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-leopard-coats-which-one-if-any#post-401332 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 01:59:33 +0000 taylor 401332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>long! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-leopard-coats-which-one-if-any#post-401330 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 01:57:38 +0000 Mo 401330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Guess one - the collar is nice and the fit is very 60's Jackie O. I think the second one is less flattering due to it's shorter length, although I could see how long sleeves would be preferable in Alaska! I vote for 1/2. Now off to see the other votes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-leopard-coats-which-one-if-any#post-401324 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 01:49:48 +0000 Queen Mum 401324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1, no contest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-leopard-coats-which-one-if-any#post-401320 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 01:44:53 +0000 catgirl 401320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dang it, I knew you'd all pick the classy one! The bracelet sleeves are an issue, but I'm thinking some long leather gloves might be in order.

The shape and length are very flattering on you, whereas I find the second one to be too boxy, wide, and short. I also like the color/pattern and the collar of the first coat a lot better! </p> <p>I actually also like the 3/4 sleeves, although I realize that might not be practical for your climate... I think they fit very nicely with the proportions of the jacket and longer sleeves might swallow you up too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-leopard-coats-which-one-if-any#post-401317 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 01:40:21 +0000 modgrl 401317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep the long one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/battle-of-the-leopard-coats-which-one-if-any#post-401314 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 01:34:53 +0000 yellowgirl 401314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote to keep the Guess jacket! The silhouette is much more up-to-date and modern. Do you have long gloves that you can wear with it? I can imagine that you'd need something during your winters since the sleeves are shorter. </p>
