Seems much better and more versatile for your proportions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-better#post-840692 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 06:23:36 +0000 Adelfa 840692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jayne, the longer one is in the car to return. I think the shorter one will work with pants too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-better#post-840684 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 06:12:00 +0000 jayne 840684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope you kept the shorter one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-better#post-840627 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 04:36:22 +0000 Adelfa 840627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Beth Ann, I got it at J. Crew. I got it at a store but this is it:</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/outerwear/cottonanddenim/PRDOVR~32445/32445.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/womens_ca...../32445.jsp</a></p> <p>I got it a size down from usual. My daughter and I thought we remembered J. Crew stuff running a little smaller, but this time we were sizing down in everything. For reference, I ordered Angie's Paige waxed sleeve jacket in a L and it failed to meet in the chest by 7-8 inches (I ordered before Angie tipped us off that it ran small but still!). My J Crew is a M and *almost* meets. I am 5'5". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-better#post-840580 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 03:59:19 +0000 Beth Ann 840580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on the hunt, too, Adelfa! Where'd you nab this beauty?</p> <p>Looks like proportion perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-better#post-840575 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 03:54:26 +0000 Aida 840575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Quite like the new one! I like that cropped length, it'll work nicely for pants too (with a longer top underneath). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-better#post-840507 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 03:10:18 +0000 Day Vies 840507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shorter -- the proportions work for you. Plus it's zippy and fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-better#post-840445 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 02:06:19 +0000 Debora 840445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the cropped version! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-better#post-840442 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 02:05:51 +0000 Raisin 840442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the first one, the shorter length is more flattering on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-better#post-840440 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 02:04:52 +0000 Thistle 840440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shorter one better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-better#post-840394 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:34:57 +0000 Angie 840394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What JuneBug said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-better#post-840390 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 01:31:40 +0000 JuneBug 840390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The cropped length will work with most clothing, it's definitely more versatile than the longer version! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-better#post-840324 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 00:20:57 +0000 Kiwichik 840324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like the shorter length of the new jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-better#post-840195 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:54:47 +0000 Ingunn 840195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great jacket! I hope to find something very similar to wear with dresses and skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-better#post-840187 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:48:32 +0000 Transcona Shannon 840187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh your new jacket is the perfect length and cut for dresses and skirts Adelfa. As Inge has pointed out, your longer one will work very well with trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-better#post-840139 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:10:53 +0000 Inge 840139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh the new one fits wonderfully well, Adelfa. It is also a bit more cropped and has that fab cheeky vibe Angie often mentions. (I didn't think your old jacket was bad at all, perhaps keep that one to wear with trousers and sport the new one with dresses and skirts?). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-better#post-840134 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 21:05:45 +0000 Sarah A 840134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shorter jacket has a more fun vibe to it and will be more versatile. Good choice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-better#post-840112 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 20:43:52 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 840112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think the shorter length is more flattering. I find that longer denim jackets work OK with pants but not so well with skirts and dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-better#post-840043 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 19:52:14 +0000 Adelfa 840043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Got a new jean jacket based on forum feedback. The original is the third photo. Thanks for looking! </p>
