Looks cosy and won't date quickly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket---is-it-gorgeous-or-a-flash-from-the-past#post-759826 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 01:56:37 +0000 Deborah 759826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dianthus, this to me is classic. I love the 'cabernet' color for you though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket---is-it-gorgeous-or-a-flash-from-the-past#post-759818 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 01:49:14 +0000 Suz 759818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it.

The one Inge got is the one I'd choose if I were coat shopping this year. It's incredible--love the leather tipping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket---is-it-gorgeous-or-a-flash-from-the-past#post-759769 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 00:15:45 +0000 Jjsloane 759769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Swoon.

Has anyone seen it in person?<br /> The coat looks like an updated classic to me and could be worn for many years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket---is-it-gorgeous-or-a-flash-from-the-past#post-759539 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 15:56:18 +0000 MsMary 759539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh I think it's gorgeous!! I love the red one, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket---is-it-gorgeous-or-a-flash-from-the-past#post-759537 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 15:53:00 +0000 Inge 759537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, that's the coat I got, Ana (and thank you) I can totally see you in the solid navy version too. Keep us posted.</p> <p>Angie - Thanks for raving about "my" coat, I am SO happy with this latest addition to my small Winter coat capsule!</p> <p>Dianthus - Angie is spot on with her description. I'll add my two cents: I don't think the B&amp;W is too theatrical at all, striking and beautiful, yes! To me this coat has a classic silhouette that we'll be able to wear for many years, and J.Crew has updated it with modern touches, so no flash from the past at all. I feel spunky, modern, chic and elegant each time I wear mine:-)</p> <p>I saw the B&amp;W version first and was really contemplating getting that for myself too. After much debate I decided I would rather have a knee-length wool Winter white coat instead (but that's just what I think is best for my own wardrobe, I still love the short B&amp;W coat). And then I came across the navy version with the leather tipping, and I was completely smitten with it. It's a beautiful quality coat, 100% wool, so nice and cosy, and the design details are fantastic.</p> <p>Let us know what you decide?-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket---is-it-gorgeous-or-a-flash-from-the-past#post-759527 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 15:37:44 +0000 Ana 759527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried the solid version of this jacket on (in navy) at my local J. Crew on Friday. I *loved* it. My old, old winter coat needs replacing and I think this will be the one I will get. I saw the cream tipped jacket you linked to there as well. It was very nice too.</p> <p>Here is the leather trimmed jacket I think Inge may have purchased. I love this one too!</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/outerwear/wool/PRDOVR~11458/11458.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/womens_ca...../11458.jsp</a></p> <p>Inge, I bet it looks amazing on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket---is-it-gorgeous-or-a-flash-from-the-past#post-759517 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 15:10:51 +0000 JuneBug 759517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's as cool as you think it is! I find it difficult to visualise this jacket in navy as Angie mentioned, but I also know that leather/satin tipped jackets and blazer's are all the rage right now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket---is-it-gorgeous-or-a-flash-from-the-past#post-759516 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 15:10:13 +0000 lynne 759516@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's gorgeous, but I've always been a sucker for tipping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket---is-it-gorgeous-or-a-flash-from-the-past#post-759513 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 14:54:11 +0000 Angie 759513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! UPDATE: And Inge's coat is tipped with navy leather I think. So they changed the style half way through the season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket---is-it-gorgeous-or-a-flash-from-the-past#post-759511 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 14:48:10 +0000 Angie 759511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've tried it on and LOVED it. Inge bought the navy and is *smitten*. Plus it looks amazingly killer on her. A true classic with a big dose of modern. My best :)</p> <p>Warning: It's quite bulky. I enjoy a bulky coat look so that did not bother me.</p> <p>Actually I preferred Inge's navy to the cream in this style - and you know how much I love cream. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket---is-it-gorgeous-or-a-flash-from-the-past#post-759509 Sun, 28 Oct 2012 14:43:01 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 759509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this jacket on JCrew and am really drawn to it. I had a similar jacket in cobalt with black tips a few years ago and am not sure why I donated it.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/womens_special_sizes/size16/jacketsouterwear/PRDOVR~92050/99102746470/ENE~1+2+3+22+4294967294+20~~~0~15~all~mode+matchallany~~~~~tipped%20ooat/92050.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/womens_sp...../92050.jsp</a></p> <p>What do you think? Does the B&amp;W make it too theatrical or is it as cool as it seems to me? </p>
