I really like the look of that type of jacket. But I would need to be really wary. It's all in the proportion. These tend to be too long for my body, and because my legs are proportionately short, the overall look (with the boxiness) is a real difficulty. In theory, I adore. In practice, I would probably have to try on 60 to find one that worked.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-maple-tweed-jacket/page/2#post-1037933 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 21:29:52 +0000 RoseandJoan 1037933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the colour for you Suz, how do you about this type of shape? <a href="http://www.atterleyroad.com/mods-blazer-4.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.atterleyroad.com/mods-blazer-4.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-maple-tweed-jacket/page/2#post-1037900 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 20:31:53 +0000 AviaMariah 1037900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like you've decided...I think it looks great on you and I love the colors but the itchy neck would be a deal breaker for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-maple-tweed-jacket/page/2#post-1037849 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 19:01:46 +0000 ironkurtin 1037849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just gonna jump in and say, JCrew has a miraculous ability to go on crazy sale. &nbsp;if you like it just for fun, it might be worth stalking for whe it goes down to $100 or less.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-maple-tweed-jacket/page/2#post-1037802 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 17:57:28 +0000 nancylee 1037802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smart girl. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-maple-tweed-jacket#post-1037796 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 17:53:56 +0000 Suz 1037796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! I will leave it; it's not a need. The colours were really nice, though -- there's a silvery metallic thread in it that isn't entirely visible in the pics. And what I liked about it was probably what made it itchy. Instead of a round no-collar (which is what most of these jackets have) this one has a little faux stand collar (like a regular collar turned up a bit) which helped with the issue Angie mentions. But itch is bad news, as I know from other items I've owned. So I am waving goodbye to it happily...the next jacket will come along soon enough! &nbsp;:-)&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-maple-tweed-jacket#post-1037787 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 17:47:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1037787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Itchy = "no go" for me. I've finally learned that comfort really has to be a primary factor in all my purchases.</p> <p>Love the colors on you though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-maple-tweed-jacket#post-1037780 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 17:40:36 +0000 nancylee 1037780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the fit and the pattern of this blazer, Suz. &nbsp;But the itch factor is a serious deal breaker IMO....and those bracelet sleeves will limit the type of shirt you can wear underneath. &nbsp;You might come to regret them. &nbsp;</p> <p>Angie makes a good point, too. &nbsp;Make sure this style appeals to your overall style direction. &nbsp;I know you're on a mission to fill out your jacket wardrobe, and sometimes it's tempting to fill in the blanks with not-quite-perfect pieces in your quest to have that wardrobe hole filled.&nbsp;</p> <p>I only say this because I am the queen of <i>"let's just get this wardrobe hole checked off the list"</i> and have made many purchasing mistakes as a result. &nbsp;:(</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-maple-tweed-jacket#post-1037615 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 14:59:29 +0000 Lisa 1037615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Itchy and bracelet length sleeves are deal breakers for me.&nbsp; Itchy is too risky because sooner or later you may want to wear a different style top and you risk itchy-ness.&nbsp; And for myself, I like a full sleeve or a shorter sleeve, my eye never adjusted to bracelet length sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-maple-tweed-jacket#post-1037614 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 14:58:10 +0000 Angie 1037614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Colours are gorgeous. Just not sure this is the style direction you want to take next, Suz. I am always drawn to this style of jacket and understand their appeal. And yet I STILL don't own one after trying them on every season for 20 years. I always think I can't fill them out properly to do the look justice. </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-maple-tweed-jacket#post-1037565 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 14:23:30 +0000 In My Joi 1037565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two words: Itchies matter !<br />;) o_O </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-maple-tweed-jacket#post-1037542 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:55:04 +0000 texstyle 1037542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seems like you have the answer. I do like the color on you and wasn't sure about it until I saw it on you. Too bad about the itch thing, but there seems to be a lot of tweed options out there so the right one will show up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-maple-tweed-jacket#post-1037509 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 13:05:29 +0000 Janet 1037509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Joy and Deborah said.

I should have asked someone else to take the picture. It looked pretty good, I think, but the itch factor is a serious issue.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-maple-tweed-jacket#post-1037479 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 12:34:45 +0000 Jaime 1037479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color is great but I am having a hard time deciding on the fit because your arms are up. But if it makes you itch&nbsp;forget about it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-maple-tweed-jacket#post-1037445 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 11:39:13 +0000 Mona 1037445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, something about this jacket gives me the pause.

If you felt it in those few minutes imagine when moving around, under your winter coat, when you heat up. Like Angie would say "Onto something better" and in your case Itch free </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-maple-tweed-jacket#post-1037426 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 10:37:14 +0000 rute 1037426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love!

While the colours are lovely, there is something about this jacket that is not reading 'modern Suz', it is taking me back to the jackets that you have recently decided to pass on. I know this is a new/current jacket...but.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-maple-tweed-jacket#post-1037335 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 04:20:59 +0000 unfrumped 1037335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty colors but not as fab as your new blazer.<br />I like bracelet sleeves, but they're more of a spring-summer deal to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-maple-tweed-jacket#post-1037334 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 04:19:54 +0000 Sveta 1037334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the color for you and the style (for whatever I can see) but the itch cannot be allowed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/j-crew-maple-tweed-jacket#post-1037328 Tue, 24 Sep 2013 04:18:06 +0000 Anonymous 1037328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bummer about the itch factor.

I am wearing a JCrew jacket today that has that itch and it has been driving me crazy! I would think twice for that reason alone. </p>
