Shevia, I'll never mind being compared to a princess:)</p> <p>Adelfa, the whole darn jacket squeaks. Like Mo said, it's enough that I probably won't keep it if I can't figure out how to soften things up.</p> <p>And Mo, I must have missed your Frye moment. I feel better now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-to-the-trouve-leather-jacket-also-squeaky-leather#post-536089 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 02:28:18 +0000 Aida 536089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that fits you beautifully! I can't help on the leather, but fit-wise the cut is really lovely on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-to-the-trouve-leather-jacket-also-squeaky-leather#post-536046 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:52:15 +0000 Jaime 536046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! You look pretty as a princess (hope that is ok to say - been overexposed to 7 yr old girls for the past few days). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-to-the-trouve-leather-jacket-also-squeaky-leather#post-536040 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:42:11 +0000 Adelfa 536040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SUPER cute. Can you tell where the squeaking is coming from? If something lubricating doesn't help I would be tempted to try something powdery, like a dry shampoo made for brunettes (so it doesn't show up white). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-to-the-trouve-leather-jacket-also-squeaky-leather#post-536033 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:35:43 +0000 sarah 536033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, if you're going to fall, you may as well fall hard. It LOOKS great! I have no advice regarding the squeaking, though. Nice to see you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-to-the-trouve-leather-jacket-also-squeaky-leather#post-536032 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:35:38 +0000 Mo 536032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wondered why I didn't see you on the SYC thread . . . It's beautiful, and hey, I'm the one who went and got Frye boots a few weeks back remember?!? All is forgiven, especially if it's a statement piece that is going to be around for many seasons to come, not some impulse trend that caught our eye, right? Right!<br /> No idea on the squeaking - but it would bug me enough to return if it weren't fixable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-to-the-trouve-leather-jacket-also-squeaky-leather#post-535985 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 00:47:43 +0000 Transcona Shannon 535985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AMAZING on you Beth! The fit is absolutely perfect. I suspect the squeaking is just because it's new and a bit stiff, and will work itself out. You could always call a local leather store and ask if they have any advice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-to-the-trouve-leather-jacket-also-squeaky-leather#post-535949 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 00:11:28 +0000 Anonymous 535949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KEEEEEEEEP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-to-the-trouve-leather-jacket-also-squeaky-leather#post-535904 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:38:54 +0000 catgirl 535904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe it is squeaking with joy because you look so good in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-to-the-trouve-leather-jacket-also-squeaky-leather#post-535891 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:30:45 +0000 kellygirl 535891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that's the best purchase evah. It looks amazing on you. I hope you can figure out the squeaking thing--perhaps it just needs breaking in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-to-the-trouve-leather-jacket-also-squeaky-leather#post-535887 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:27:39 +0000 Anonymous 535887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>O. M. G. Beth that jacket looks fab on you! You couldn't ask for a better cut or a more perfect fit. I wonder if there's any trick to get it to stop squeaking? Monty (my python bag) squeaked a lot when I first brought him home, but I thought, well, a good saddle and tack squeeks a bit too, right? Come to think of it, either I stopped noticing it, or the leather softened up. Pleeeeeeeeaaaaaase don't send it back! It's perfect for you. Give it a chance. </p> <p>And I thing sassily IS a word. Or it should be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-to-the-trouve-leather-jacket-also-squeaky-leather#post-535883 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:25:40 +0000 annagybe 535883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't know about the squeaking, maybe leather conditioner. It looks amazing on you though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-caved-to-the-trouve-leather-jacket-also-squeaky-leather#post-535875 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:19:40 +0000 Beth 535875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry Mo! I made it 5 whole weeks, but as soon as that jacket went on sale, my trigger finger took on a life of it's own. :O</p> <p>So, here's the Trouve jacket that Sarah TX wears so sassily (BTW, if that's not a word, I invented it just for her.</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/trouve-quilted-leather-jacket/3200730?origin=category&#038;resultback=169" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/tr.....ltback=169</a></p> <p>I think I'll be hard pressed to find another cropped jacket that comes this close to fitting my short waist. But...I do have a concern about the leather. It's not quite as soft as my Guess jacket and it squeaks. Which makes me nuts and may be a deal breaker.</p> <p>Any thoughts on the jacket in general (I haven't styled it in these pics) and fixing the squeaking issue? </p>
