Beautiful color. I would be trying it myself if I didn't already have a cobalt moto. I hope you keep it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cobalt-moto-arrived/page/2#post-1104147 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 04:15:44 +0000 Ariadne 1104147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to the party, but I'm swooning. &nbsp;This is absolutely perfect on you! &nbsp;KEEP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cobalt-moto-arrived/page/2#post-1104028 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 02:06:46 +0000 Sveta 1104028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, practically universal enthusiastic YLF approval! :-)<br />Thank you also much for your feedback, it means a lot to me.<br />Of course if Angie says the fit is right who am I to doubt it anymore? :-)&nbsp; I am beginning to think that this moto style suppose to have a roomier fit, similar to my denim moto.<br />As for the sleeves I will ask my mom if she can make an opening between the zipper sides: it would be more useful to me this way as I would be able to wear sleeves unzipped with cuffs turned over. I think they are the same length as Angie's white leather jacket and I always admired it.<br />I do think that regular size would be too short in the body but I can stop in Gap on my way from work and try on the pink one for size. BTW for those who interested it is not fuchsia but bright hot pink color, practically neon. Nice color but too bright for me for sure!<br />I am still wowed with the quality of the fabric: I did not expect such quality from Gap for this price. Angie is right; never leave any retail stone unturned! :-)<br />I think tags are coming off this week!<br />LBD, I have no idea what is my coloring. I am sure I am no deep winter because while I can wear black it is not my best color. I also cannot wear very bright "neon" brights, they are too strong for me. I thought before that I am Autumn but I am not sure anymore. After I accidently turned into a very dark brunette I can wear stronger colors better than before when my hair was medium brown. I know that my best ever color is purple, basically I can wear any shade of it. I hope you can help your mom to find her colors! Suiting cobalt and dark saturated blues like navy and ink was a big surprise to me as I always thought that blues look bad on me.<br />Thank you all again for your help, you are the best!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cobalt-moto-arrived/page/2#post-1103911 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 00:21:20 +0000 Mochi 1103911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please keep.

I vote keep as it is. To my eye the slightly loose fit goes better with your fluid pants than a strict fitted look would. The length looks fine with your pants. Will you be using this jacket with dresses and skirts? It looks like the length should work with them too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cobalt-moto-arrived#post-1103547 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 15:29:39 +0000 Catnip 1103547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color is wonderful and the fit of the shoulders is fine.&nbsp; The back is slightly large, but that doesn't bother me.&nbsp; The sleeve length is the question, and I guess you have to decide&nbsp;how much&nbsp;the length bothers you.&nbsp; Do the sleeves stay up when you scrunch them?&nbsp; If they do, then that problem is solved.&nbsp; But if not, I would probably try the regular or&nbsp;see if the length can be altered.&nbsp;If neither option works, I would return the jacket.&nbsp; Sorry for this opinion, because you look great in this jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cobalt-moto-arrived#post-1103546 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 15:29:20 +0000 Vildy 1103546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad Angie likes the size on you. I think the little bit of back fullness takes away all the toughness a jacket in this style can have. Makes it look less wannabe and more like a ladylike way of pulling things off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cobalt-moto-arrived#post-1103542 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 15:24:50 +0000 Angie 1103542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the right size. I like the fit at the back and vote no alterations.&nbsp;My thumbs are up. Looks fabulous, Sveta.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cobalt-moto-arrived#post-1103529 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 15:08:57 +0000 Thistle 1103529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Suz said!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cobalt-moto-arrived#post-1103526 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 15:02:24 +0000 Classically Casual 1103526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks to me like it's already an integral part of your wardrobe.&nbsp; The fit looks correct &amp; the color is a winner for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cobalt-moto-arrived#post-1103517 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 14:48:14 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1103517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color on you Sveta and I quite like the fit. I'm a "serial sleeve scruncher" so to my eye, I prefer the sleeves scrunched. This also solves any length issues. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cobalt-moto-arrived#post-1103489 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 14:13:55 +0000 Lisa 1103489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This piece gets my yes vote, a great color for you.&nbsp; I don't think the shoulders look any broader here from the epaulettes than if they weren't there.&nbsp; I almost didn't notice they were even there!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cobalt-moto-arrived#post-1103439 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 13:16:54 +0000 Robidi 1103439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color looks gorgeous on you and I think the fit is great.

I think this is the right size, but of course comparing it with the regular can't hurt (and don't mind the little bit of extra fabric in the back, nor the longer sleeves). </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cobalt-moto-arrived#post-1103393 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 10:04:33 +0000 rute 1103393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the color and the fit!<br />I like the sleeves lenght and the fit on the back.<br />My mom alters many things to me but she doesn't do leather, as it's difficult to work. I would leave as it is.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cobalt-moto-arrived#post-1103390 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 09:54:08 +0000 Ingunn 1103390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote keep, no doubt about it! The color is amazing on you, and I think the fit is really good. The extra fabric in the back doesn't bother me, you will probably not zip it up a lot anyway. The sleeve length I'll leave for the more competent to comment on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cobalt-moto-arrived#post-1103377 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 07:58:12 +0000 Jeanie 1103377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, this color looks fab on you and the fabric looks divine. &nbsp;The epaulettes don't seem to make your shoulders look wider...maybe a little higher but that is not a bad thing. &nbsp;I would have the sleeves shortened a bit. &nbsp;I vote keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-cobalt-moto-arrived#post-1103324 Tue, 03 Dec 2013 04:57:50 +0000 Suz 1103324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, the colour looks spectacular on you. I really love it. I would order the regular to compare -- there is no cost to doing that. Then, decide which is the better fit and consult with your wonderful mother about any needed alterations. I do think the back could be taken in a tad on this one. The epaulettes do not bother me in the least (and you could always leave those for now and remove them easily later if you desired, anyway.) As for the sleeves, they don't look too bad to me (and I'm fussy about too long sleeves, as you know). But wear it around the house for a few hours to be sure about that. I do think it could be easily altered to be a real opening at the zipper if you wanted to turn them back. Or hey, maybe take it to Danier and pretend it is leather so they will do the alteration from the shoulder. &nbsp;:) </p>
