Wait a little while longer for better stock. </p> <p>Gosh. I can't believe that we are talking about puffers already. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-puffer-more-like-it#post-197879 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 03:15:20 +0000 Jenava 197879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The diagonal seams also get closer together at the waistline, which I think would be very cute on you...And the Aubergine color is gorgeous! It's very dark, kind of like a faux black...but, if you're stuck on black I understand. All of the colors have the same color of faux fur trim on the hood. It's a nice medium brown color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-puffer-more-like-it#post-197866 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 03:05:08 +0000 Debora 197866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, Michelle, I should have been more specific. Yes, the chevron seams are diagonal and angled downward. The horizontal seams (princess seams) give the coat a flattering shape and feminine look. Very pretty and I think that you are right, there should be a longer version coming out. It looks like it will be very warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-puffer-more-like-it#post-197865 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 03:02:24 +0000 Maya 197865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Uh oh, did I get caught for not reading the whole post? I did!</p> <p>Well ok, in that case thumbs up from me too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-puffer-more-like-it#post-197863 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 02:58:21 +0000 shana 197863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>D'uh these are the princess seams mentioned in the description! You're an hourglass, right Michelle. You might want to also look for ones with a belt which would help with the volume. In my case, after the cream puffer disaster, I've decided that I don't care if I look like the Michelin man as long as I stay warm! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-puffer-more-like-it#post-197862 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 02:58:11 +0000 Michelle 197862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Maya, I'm not getting this exact one. I'm with you, anything less than knee length is not good enough. But I believe they have a knee-length version of this very coat coming out later, so I was just sizing up the style to see if it's worth pursuing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-puffer-more-like-it#post-197860 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 02:56:26 +0000 Maya 197860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My only hesitation is that puffers are basically useless unless they are knee length. Mine is close but not quite there, and even so I find myself wishing for a few more inches. I wouldn't even bother with a cropped or 3/4 length puffer because, while it may be toasty in the torso area, your legs will be cold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-puffer-more-like-it#post-197857 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 02:53:24 +0000 shana 197857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the stitching is diagonal and there is also some vertical stitching that goes fully down midway between shoulder &amp; neck. OK, I'm looking at the pics again and I think I'm lying, I think the one that I have is actually this one:</p> <p><a href="http://www.landsend.com/pp/MorganLongDownCoat~208896_-1.html?bcc=y&#038;action=order_more&#038;sku_0=" rel="nofollow">http://www.landsend.com/pp/Mor.....038;sku_0=</a>::PVP&amp;CM_MERCH=IDX_00008__0000000158&amp;origin=index</p> <p>I'm not at home right now so I cannot check but anyway, I think the seaming on yours might be a little more attractive because the little blocks between stitches are smaller. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-puffer-more-like-it#post-197856 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 02:48:01 +0000 Michelle 197856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shana, thanks for the warmth endorsement. If this thing is coming to Canada, it better be able to cope with our temps! : I think Michelle and a cream puffer is a disaster waiting to happen, since I bump into and rub up against dirty city things all the time. :)<br /> Debora, the stitching is diagonal, yes? Is the coat quilted? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-puffer-more-like-it#post-197854 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 02:45:41 +0000 Debora 197854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the stitching on this. Looks like a contender to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-puffer-more-like-it#post-197853 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 02:45:34 +0000 shana 197853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BTW, I bought it because I have a very pretty cream KC puffer that looks very cute but isn't work a ^&amp;%&amp; when it comes to keeping me warm when it gets really cold out. The LE one is toasty in comparison! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-puffer-more-like-it#post-197852 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 02:43:46 +0000 shana 197852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, I have last year's version of this coat in a knee-length! I think it's not bad if I do say so myself The fur trim is a mixed brown (so not black). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-puffer-more-like-it#post-197850 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 02:41:15 +0000 Michelle 197850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't kill me!! I promise I'll keep this one simple. :)</p> <p>I saw that Land's End has already started bringing in their winter merchandise, though it's by no means complete. I came across this chevron puffer that sounds like it may be a good style (since the LB one is gone! SOBBING!) The one I'm about to link to is shorter than what I'm after, but I believe a knee-length version will be available later. How does this style look to you? And what colour is the fir trim on the black?<br /> <a href="http://www.landsend.com/pp/ChevronDownParka~212606_59.html?bcc=y&#038;action=order_more&#038;sku_0=" rel="nofollow">http://www.landsend.com/pp/Che.....038;sku_0=</a>::SPB&amp;CM_MERCH=search-_-Chevron&amp;origin=search</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
