I'd pay $400 for that, no doubt. You'll have it for a decade or two. I prefer lower contrast on the stitching, too. Fab with the plaid lining! Now I want one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-trench---help-me-pick-my-details#post-846931 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 18:11:13 +0000 lyn* 846931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:P Well, I hope it's as good as it looks - if it isn't, I apparently can send it back for a refund (to France - lol!)</p> <p>I guess we'll just have to keep our fingers crossed!</p> <p>@ Shannon - yep, Rae's site! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-trench---help-me-pick-my-details#post-846409 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 01:41:34 +0000 Echo 846409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the coat, however, I prefer the stitching in the first five pictures. I prefer NO contrast in the stitching. Contrast stitching (low or high) makes the coat look less expensive, less sophisticated and less timeless. I would go with entirely matching stitching that you cannot tell from the coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-trench---help-me-pick-my-details#post-846289 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 00:17:17 +0000 Debora 846289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks like a star piece to me. I prefer #6 and 9 for stitching. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-trench---help-me-pick-my-details#post-846278 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 00:10:20 +0000 Suz 846278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa, this is amazing, and if it looks anywhere near as good as that in real life, $400 is a total bargain. You will LOVE this coat! (I would, too...) I really like the plaid lining - so fun. As for the stitching, I think #9, but they all look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-trench---help-me-pick-my-details#post-846273 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 00:01:34 +0000 rachylou 846273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#8 &amp; 9. $400 is not a bad price at all, as these things go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-trench---help-me-pick-my-details#post-846244 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 23:24:03 +0000 Anonymous 846244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it with any stitching. In fact, if they make a mistake with your order, just have them send it my way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-trench---help-me-pick-my-details#post-846237 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 23:17:44 +0000 DonnaF 846237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for #9! $400 does not seem crazy at all. Does it have a heavy button or zip out lining? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-trench---help-me-pick-my-details#post-845706 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 14:24:22 +0000 Transcona Shannon 845706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think $400 for a custom trench that you can wear for years is actually a really good price. And now you've got me thinking....but back to you!</p> <p>I love the details you've chosen and navy is so classic without the harshness of black. Like AJ, I really like #9 due to the contrast in the stitching.</p> <p>Is this from the link that Rae had provided? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-trench---help-me-pick-my-details#post-845625 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 11:39:49 +0000 Anonymous 845625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's going to look stunning. I vote 9 for stitching. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-trench---help-me-pick-my-details#post-845572 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 05:57:22 +0000 rae 845572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Girl, if I could get my dream trench, which would work in my lifestyle and in my climate for $400, even I'd do it. And you know how I like to cut corners on price. </p> <p>Is there an option for matching navy stitching? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-trench---help-me-pick-my-details#post-845571 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 05:52:47 +0000 AJ 845571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have long cold winters, so the price per wear will go down quickly. I think low contrast stitching will keep it modern for years to come. I vote #9. FAB coat and the plaid lining is fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-trench---help-me-pick-my-details#post-845570 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 05:48:07 +0000 lyn* 845570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>6) Teal<br /> 7) Green, light<br /> 8) Grey, light<br /> 9) Grey, dark<br /> 10) Blue, royal</p> <p>:p Sorry, they're a bit hard to tell. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-trench---help-me-pick-my-details#post-845569 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 05:46:52 +0000 jayne 845569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i also cannot see alot of diff in the stitching except lighter or darker. i prefer the matching stitching for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-trench---help-me-pick-my-details#post-845565 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 05:33:15 +0000 AJ 845565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, what's the difference between #6 and #10? It looks the same on my monitor. Could you please list the different colors for all 5. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-trench---help-me-pick-my-details#post-845559 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 05:15:48 +0000 rae 845559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yaaaaay! Living through you! I think I like the stitching in 8, 9, or 10 best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/custom-trench---help-me-pick-my-details#post-845546 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 04:33:14 +0000 lyn* 845546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So... I'm totally smitten with the chance to make my own trench coat! I've had great deal of difficulty finding a navy coat AND of a below-the-knee length for myself! </p> <p>I've often played around with the Burberry Bespoke, but it was never a possibility for me.</p> <p>I have a design sort of picked out (#1 to 5); but if any of the details look off, please let me know! Also, any preference on a thread colour? (#6 to #10) - I won't let you know my favourite just in case ;)</p> <p>ETA: Tell me I'm crazy to spend $400 on a trench coat. </p>
