I vote keep indeed.&nbsp;I bought a classic trench from BR last year, and considering how little I paid for it (got it on 70% clearance sale), it was a real bargain. t<br />The quality is really nice.&nbsp;I love to wear it, and I think the fit is very good - for me. I have a&nbsp;similar problem with shoulder fit as Angie describes, clothes are often cut too wide for my frame, but it didn't happen with this trench. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-trench---a-keeper/page/2#post-883286 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 18:14:00 +0000 merwoman 883286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Triplets how fun!<br />Angie - I think we cross posted - thanks for the response. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-trench---a-keeper/page/2#post-883202 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:46:41 +0000 Laurie 883202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ totally should have tried this on when I was in BR last week. &nbsp;Looks great on you -- really like it! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-trench---a-keeper/page/2#post-883194 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:35:24 +0000 JuneBug 883194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Trench triplets Angie, I'm getting one shipped to me too! (It's kind of delayed in getting here though). This is lovely on you Merwoman and I hope it looks as good on me!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-trench---a-keeper/page/2#post-883170 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:18:42 +0000 Angie 883170@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I just did :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-trench---a-keeper#post-883166 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:17:40 +0000 merwoman 883166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Good question bj! Hope Angie chimes in for a response. &nbsp;And am also curious on how she deals with the belt, it's so long &nbsp;it could be wrapped around several times. &nbsp;I didn't like the back or side fit&nbsp;fit in the size small - excess fabric caused pleating - felt like I was wearing an a line dress with a belt.<br />Ceit - not to enable (altho turn about is fair play...you mesh sweater enchantress) - but you would look smashing in this coat. However, if you have &nbsp;a cream trench already, maybe (note I say maybe) give this a pass. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-trench---a-keeper#post-883161 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:11:30 +0000 Angie 883161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I mean the back cut for <i>my</i> body, bj111. BR trench coats are often cut too wide for my frame. I have a very dainty shoulder line that does not fill out clothing. And I am sized out on the smallest size. The trench flap across the back shoulder makes things even worse! Soooooooo, that's why I have my reservations. <br /><br />But we shall see!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-trench---a-keeper#post-883156 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:08:10 +0000 Anonymous 883156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh I keep waffling on this. I want a nicer spring jacket, and I do have a cream longer trench already, but I really like this one.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-trench---a-keeper#post-883154 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:06:16 +0000 bj1111 883154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ angie, what do you mean about the back being off? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-trench---a-keeper#post-883150 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:03:35 +0000 Angie 883150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes! I hope the fit works. I am yearning for a very modern classic trench, since all my trenches are beyond basic. This silhoette fit the bill. But then the back fit might be off. It often is at BR. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-trench---a-keeper#post-882844 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 09:50:49 +0000 merwoman 882844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks again ladies for your thoughtful comments!<br />And thank you Angie for the K rating!!

We might be trench twins!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-trench---a-keeper#post-882555 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 00:56:53 +0000 Tina.b 882555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This trench is gorgeous on you! The cut is just right and you look fantastic in white! I have a white trench. I don't wear it too often but when I do I always get compliments. Wear and enjoy! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-trench---a-keeper#post-882545 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 00:48:47 +0000 merwoman 882545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Mona - I think this coat would look awesome on you!<br />I typically take a small&nbsp; in tops at BR, and maybe a 2 in the pants - depnds on style. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-trench---a-keeper#post-882537 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 00:40:14 +0000 Mona 882537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is just lovely, merwoman. I sooo want to order this now. You wear white really well. What size do you usually wear from BR?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-trench---a-keeper#post-882536 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 00:40:10 +0000 merwoman 882536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ good point Brenda!<br />Sleeves on the XS hit just below my wrist, on the small they were about half way down my hand. What is it with garments and these&nbsp; long sleeve lengths? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-trench---a-keeper#post-882535 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 00:36:37 +0000 merwoman 882535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks everyone for weighing in!<br />Good point Aida and JJ regarding layering - I'm wearing a sweater underneath it in the photo and can easily accomodate another layer. Wool blazer might be a bit bulky - but I don't forsee wearing that combo very often. <br />Denise - I do feel like it's getting easier to target what works for me - at least some days! <br />Thistle - I do think this will work - what I like about this trench is the ability to dress it up (occasionally) or down - which will be most if the time for me.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-trench---a-keeper#post-882528 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 00:31:09 +0000 qfbrenda 882528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It looks great, though it's impossible to tell on the sleeves with your hand in your pocket. ;)&nbsp; I'll take your word on that.&nbsp; My question is the same as Aida's about layering possibilities...<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-trench---a-keeper#post-882508 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 00:15:35 +0000 Transcona Shannon 882508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love this for you Merwoman - the fit and style are lovely on you and even though I am also a practical gal, I think this in white is just gorgeous. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/br-trench---a-keeper#post-882501 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 00:10:34 +0000 Thistle 882501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love this on you.
