It is more convenient to get it from Canadian site though as I am not sure it will work better for me in Tall (judging by some fit issues I see in L Tall in the patterned one). I think I will wait and see, I have 2 months to return this one if I need to.</p> <p>Thanks again!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued/page/2#post-1177122 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 03:02:16 +0000 April 1177122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, just PM me if you need any help with the "only available in the&nbsp;US" issue. &nbsp;I'm happy to order and forward things along to you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued/page/2#post-1177049 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 02:01:23 +0000 Sveta 1177049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all so much for playing along with me!<br />I think I prefer the solid navy: it has a stronger vibe to it, looks dressier&nbsp;and somehow feels more like "me". The patterned one has a softer overall effect and looks good with light bottoms. I liked it a lot until I got navy and played with them in my closet. After much agonizing I decided that solid navy is the way to go for me.</p> <p>Now there is a problem: it is not available in Tall in my size Although I am not sure that Tall Large will be a good fit either. I received a patterned one in L Tall today and it is feels &nbsp;too big! The body length is fine but the sleeves are too long and wide...I can order Tall Large in solid navy from US but I am afraid it will have the same problem...on the other hand the sleeve length on L regular is just right even is body length is one inch shorter. Grrr, there is no perfection in this world! :-(<br />Nichole, if Large Tall in navy does not work for you let me know before you return it, OK? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued/page/2#post-1177035 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 01:52:13 +0000 Jeanie 1177035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the navy on you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued/page/2#post-1176967 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 01:13:24 +0000 gryffin 1176967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both Sveta.&nbsp; Very flattering.&nbsp; But on straight comparison, the navy gives you a slimmer, leaner look.&nbsp; But I really like both!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued/page/2#post-1176961 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 01:08:39 +0000 Angie 1176961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also prefer the navy on you, and the longer length. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued/page/2#post-1176854 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 23:32:08 +0000 Susie 1176854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to say that I prefer the navy by far. I had ordered the patterned one but returned it because I really didn't care for&nbsp;it.&nbsp; To my eye, there was too much going on with the pattern and the moto details. And&nbsp;I just didn't love the fabric;&nbsp; the pattern reminded me of that blue enamel cookware </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued/page/2#post-1176847 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 23:25:15 +0000 AnnieMouse 1176847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the tweed *in general*, but as you've styled them, the navy works best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued/page/2#post-1176597 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 20:58:20 +0000 Style Fan 1176597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the navy.&nbsp; The fit of the navy is better than the tweed.&nbsp; The colour of the navy is great with your colouring.&nbsp; The tweed is not so great.&nbsp; The navy goes with your clothes.&nbsp; </p> <p>I find the sizing at the Gap inconsistent as well.&nbsp; I bought a pair of pants in one size and the exact same pair in another size.&nbsp; The only difference was the colour.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued/page/2#post-1176512 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 19:33:46 +0000 rae 1176512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also prefer the solid! The high contrast with the zippers feels right for the dramatic element in your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued/page/2#post-1176433 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 18:15:44 +0000 Lisa 1176433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the navy, as a solid, it will be easier to remix, especially with prints.&nbsp; I used to own a striped blazer and as much as I loved it, it was much harder to style compared to my solid one's. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued/page/2#post-1176398 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 17:42:13 +0000 Nicole D 1176398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PS, I'm a lemming too. I ordered the navy in tall L, glad I did, it's sold out now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued/page/2#post-1176393 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 17:36:45 +0000 Annie 1176393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the navy version fits great on you and works for your coloring. The solid color will be more versatile and go with more outfits. The patterned tweed washes you out and looks a bit oversized, in my opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued/page/2#post-1176325 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 16:51:01 +0000 karymk 1176325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Easy. Navy because of it's apparent "Strength" with your coloring. And your wardrobe. I like the tweed one better with the light pants though for some reason.</p> <p>Yes, seek out the Tall. Let me know if I can get it for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued/page/2#post-1176274 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 16:20:17 +0000 Nicole D 1176274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! &nbsp;I didn't really notice much difference in the sizing because of the colour difference. &nbsp;Like the navy best in most outfits. &nbsp;I think you're good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued#post-1176244 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 15:50:04 +0000 catseye 1176244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the longer length. Too bad the navy doesn't have a Tall L anymore.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued#post-1176224 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 15:32:54 +0000 Nebraskim 1176224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to be a spanner but I prefer the tweed (with the exception of it paired with the tweedy topped dress.) It looks fresher to me, somehow. I always prefer a longer sleeve length for me, so that's my bias there, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued#post-1176161 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 14:31:16 +0000 texstyle 1176161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Navy all the way to my eye - it goes so much better with the outfits you have shown here and seems much more flexible. And it looks great on you as well! &nbsp;FWIW I ordered both as well and def. prefer the navy. My BR navy moto is not going to last beyond this season it seems and I wanted a replacement. Not sure now however as the tag says "dry clean only" and the arms are lined in poly (not good for hot weather). I could try taking out the lining of the sleeves - still deciding on that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued#post-1176141 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 14:20:52 +0000 Kimberley 1176141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Navy!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued#post-1176080 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 13:31:28 +0000 Day Vies 1176080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With the exception of #6 &amp; #7 I preferred the textured jacket -- there is just more visual interest there. However, I do think the sleeves are too long on that particular jacket. So I prefer the fit of the navy but the visual interest of the textured. (Way to muddy the waters ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued#post-1176046 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 12:58:13 +0000 Anonymous 1176046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tough call! I like both of them, actually! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued#post-1176043 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 12:54:55 +0000 Jaime 1176043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just clicking through I thought the navy is simply stunning on you. I am going to look again with Inge's comment in mind, but the navy seems like a sure winner. </p> <p>ETA - In 1 and 8 I think the tweed is great (as Inge said) - how about both!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued#post-1176037 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 12:51:32 +0000 lyn67 1176037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Think I'll actually be a spamer here, thus both are looking gorgeous the patterned (as longer) one looks better with&nbsp; the uni&nbsp;pants(but is good with striped top and&nbsp;skirt,&nbsp;even with the&nbsp;dress in nr. 4)&nbsp;and is reading&nbsp;more springy, a bit more casual, but edgier, too-&nbsp;to me.&nbsp;Of course, the shorter navy&nbsp;matches printed dresses better, and is&nbsp;perhaps a bit more&nbsp;polished. Depends on your prefferences, Sveta...I Know, that was no help, sorry, maybe you need them both:-). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued#post-1176001 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 11:07:13 +0000 Inge 1176001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have scrolled through the photos several times now, and here's my two cents:-)</p> <p>- I think both the patterned and solid are great on you. I prefer the solid navy when you pair the jacket with a patterned top or dress. But the pattern looks great with solid colours on top (and I also love it with the striped top).<br />- I prefer the shorter (Regular) length with skirts, dresses and cropped pants. The proportions of the&nbsp;slightly more cropped silhouette seem to work better there.<br />- I believe I'm the only one who prefers the longer length (patterned tweed jacket in Long) with regular length trousers? Perhaps it's more in line with the fluid fit we've been seeing, but I like those proportions better (and the jacket looks fab with your blush and white trousers:-)<br />- Fit of the&nbsp; Regular Large solid jacket looks good to my eye.</p> <p>Not sure if I've been any help at all :-)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued#post-1175998 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 11:04:31 +0000 Jjsloane 1175998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to vote navy too - not sure on the Tall as this looks good. Now you made me put one in my cart (loving it with the VC tube skirt that I also have) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued#post-1175995 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 11:01:34 +0000 Karie 1175995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the solid Navy, which looks fine in the size that you have, but I think I would like it better if it was in a tall size. If it's too much to hunt it down, I would keep the one you have.</p> <p>It's a gorgeous jacket, I might have to be a lemming and get one too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued#post-1175992 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 10:55:54 +0000 kkards 1175992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this is a tough one. seeing them styled i would vote for the navy, but i saw the tweed one in person, and its fab. so i'm going to bench myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued#post-1175989 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 10:46:09 +0000 leopardluxe 1175989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for navy. The slightly shorter length makes it look like it's a better fit and I like it better with the&nbsp;items you've shown it styled with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued#post-1175958 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 08:25:10 +0000 unfrumped 1175958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Navy all the way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/gap-tweed-moto--continued#post-1175942 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 06:31:02 +0000 Adelfa 1175942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the navy on you, color and cut. I ordered the print one and absolutely couldn't stand it. Maybe I should try the navy </p>
