I try to be as efficient as possible in my planning. And needing so many new things means I will probably not do too many experiments and stay on the safe side with styles, but I guess that's alright. I don't think the cat hairs are going to be a problem. They're not living with me after all and when I'm back home I just have to take care to always take the jacket off and put it out of the way, coming inside. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-this-be-my-spring-jacket#post-1426871 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 14:10:29 +0000 harmonica 1426871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this one and can easily see it in your wardrobe. What do you think of the cat hairs? You've done a good job planing for next seasons shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-this-be-my-spring-jacket#post-1426830 Sun, 18 Jan 2015 08:43:33 +0000 Astrid 1426830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!

(Also for the warning about the cat hair.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-this-be-my-spring-jacket#post-1426389 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 17:11:27 +0000 Angie 1426389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Then I think you have a great contender. (Although mole skin attracts lots of cat hair -so be warned). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-this-be-my-spring-jacket#post-1426382 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 17:06:08 +0000 Astrid 1426382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I don't have a problem with it when it's a spring weigth jacket. If we have temperatures high enough to wear this jacket I won't need the pockets to put my hands into. This is no replacement for my wool peacoat! And I can always wear my cashmere wristwarmers for a little warmth if it's chilly. My denim jackets have no pockets either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-this-be-my-spring-jacket#post-1426354 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 16:34:15 +0000 Angie 1426354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you okay with the fact that it doesn't have side entry pockets?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-this-be-my-spring-jacket#post-1426330 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 15:46:23 +0000 Astrid 1426330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jackie. I'll keep you all up to date. Moleskin is heavy cotton fabric. Wikipedia says that "[c]lothing made from moleskin is noted for its softness and durability. Some variants of the cloth are so densely woven as to be windproof." It's interesting that you call it softshell fabric, because to me softshells are those technical winproof and waterresistant jackets you get at outdoor retailers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-this-be-my-spring-jacket#post-1426328 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 15:36:38 +0000 jackiec 1426328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am interested to hear how it works out. I like the idea of moleskin and it looks like a peacoat. I think they call that softshell fabric here (?). Nice for spring/fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-this-be-my-spring-jacket#post-1426324 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 15:32:14 +0000 Astrid 1426324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Texstyle - I just placed the order. Most sizes were already set to delayed delivery and I didn't want my size to run out. I hope the fit works out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-this-be-my-spring-jacket#post-1426307 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 15:04:51 +0000 texstyle 1426307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great to me Astrid! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-this-be-my-spring-jacket#post-1426302 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 14:58:40 +0000 Astrid 1426302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Crutcher. The color is called "Marine", so it should be navy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-this-be-my-spring-jacket#post-1426299 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 14:51:59 +0000 crutcher 1426299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid...I love this jacket...Would be asking for the information if it were black instead of navy...You should give this one a go... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-this-be-my-spring-jacket#post-1426293 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 14:43:56 +0000 Astrid 1426293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks approprio. Informal is not a problem at all, because my style and life are casual. This one is supposed to be lined, with piping. I do think the quality would be lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-this-be-my-spring-jacket#post-1426264 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 13:08:10 +0000 approprio 1426264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, this is a lovely jacket and I think it would look fantastic on you. It really suits your style and it looks very timeless to me.&nbsp;</p> <p>The only thing I notice is that the material,&nbsp;patch pockets and topstitching make it look somewhat informal, which is in no way a bad thing, it just is what it is.</p> <p>FYI, things I think anyone should&nbsp;look for in a jacket or&nbsp;blazer are great&nbsp;materials and finish (is it lined? are the buttons sewn on properly? etc) and of course the right&nbsp;fit. But you knew all&nbsp;that. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/could-this-be-my-spring-jacket#post-1426257 Sat, 17 Jan 2015 12:42:04 +0000 Astrid 1426257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I made a little shopping list for the next few months in the other thread:</p> <p>- at least one great pair of skinny jeans<br />- new shorts for summer<br />- an everyday skirt for spring and summer<br />- new tees/tops/blouses</p> <p>And maybe:<br />- some kind of spring outerwear <br />- some shoes for spring (oxfords or sneakers or something like that)</p> <p>With outwear I mean something to wear when my wool peacoat is too warm and I don't want to wear a denim jacket. I have a blue military jacket, but that one is rather casual and quite oversized now (no great quality either).</p> <p>I just saw this jacket online and I'm wondering if it's worth a try. It's moleskin, a navy and lengthwise made to wear with jeans. I can wear one of my denim jackets with a skirt instead, so it's alright if it would only work with pants or straight skirts. It's on a big markdown...</p> <p>I'm rather clueless when it comes to jackets and what details look alright (and not dated), do you think this could work? Thanks. </p> </p>
