I also really like the jacket! </p> <p>I know you'll revisit it tomorrow, but for now I think it just needs sleeve shortening.</p> <p>Don't you get tired of figuring out perfect winterwear? So you look good and don't feel like a stuffed sausage -- estimating various layers underneath, figuring arm movement, grrrr! (Can you tell I'm already weary of even putting on a coat and boots?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-military-coat-from-asos#post-267113 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 04:19:38 +0000 bella 267113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the coat from front but I am not so sure about the back. It looks like there is too much excess fabric. The look on your dog is priceless! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-military-coat-from-asos#post-267088 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 04:01:34 +0000 catgirl 267088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To be honest, I'm delirious from tooth recovery - I will try to take a better set of photos tomorrow when it's light out and I'm not so schlumpy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-military-coat-from-asos#post-267085 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 04:00:08 +0000 Aida 267085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My cat runs when he sees me pull out the camera ;)</p> <p>Una, if the second set of photos is more accurate to how you think the coat fits then I like it. Though the sleeves could probably use a little shortening? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-military-coat-from-asos#post-267081 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 03:56:34 +0000 Maya 267081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My kitty gets the same look on her face when I am taking pictures. That "oh geez, not AGAIN." kind of look </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-military-coat-from-asos#post-267080 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 03:55:46 +0000 catgirl 267080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dog's expression of total ennui is so fashion-forward, don't you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-military-coat-from-asos#post-267077 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 03:54:53 +0000 catgirl 267077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, I think the new shot shows more of ME, so the coat looks more proportionate? It's hard to tell how something fits without the whole picture, really. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-military-coat-from-asos#post-267076 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 03:54:36 +0000 Maya 267076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I changed my mind on the coat. Somehow it looks better in these pictures.</p> <p>but I must say the dog still wins.</p> <p>ETA: Aida and I are on the same page here! I don't know why but it just looks much better in the second round of pictures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-military-coat-from-asos#post-267074 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 03:53:08 +0000 Aida 267074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This new front shot looks like it fits much better, so now I am a bit confused. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-military-coat-from-asos#post-267073 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 03:50:19 +0000 catgirl 267073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, back shot, better front shot, and bonus photo of my dog.watching me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-military-coat-from-asos#post-267068 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 03:43:18 +0000 Maya 267068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, good point Una. I'm honestly not certain enough of my opinion anyway and wouldn't want to be responsible for your return being rejected (if you did indeed choose to return).</p> <p>Can you take it without cutting the vent? That way we can at least envision what it might look like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-military-coat-from-asos#post-267067 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 03:40:17 +0000 catgirl 267067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, I think I need to cut the thread in back to open the vent. This is a size small! Do you think they'll take it back if I snip it? Then I could take a back view photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-military-coat-from-asos#post-267063 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 03:38:05 +0000 Maya 267063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't mind the look of a more swingy, un-fitted coat, but this one looks like it was meant to be fitted and is just too big. I could be wrong but looking at how it clinches the model from behind makes me think so. I actually think it fits the model quite differently. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-military-coat-from-asos#post-267062 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 03:36:13 +0000 Sveta 267062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This coat looks much better on you than on the model. Have you tried it with layers under - it should be big enough to accommodate them. Also sleeves seems a bit long but it is hard to see in the picture. Overall I like the coat and it is a nice color on you.<br /> You have my sympathy for the cracked molar pulled - I had the same problem with two - b-r-r-r... don't want to remember! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-military-coat-from-asos#post-267061 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 03:33:18 +0000 catgirl 267061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it is perfect in the shoulders, as I will be wearing it over layers. I agree, it fits exactly like on the site, which looks a little big but is very much my style... I am not about fitted coats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-military-coat-from-asos#post-267060 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 03:32:14 +0000 Aida 267060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I felt like it looks a touch big, but on their site it has a similar feel. I do like the styling otherwise, how is it in the shoulder? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-military-coat-from-asos#post-267049 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 03:22:48 +0000 catgirl 267049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excuse the headlessness - you don't want to see my face after having a cracked molar pulled... </p> <p>My ASOS package got here. The sheath dress I'd ordered from them is going straight back. This coat was to replace my longer blue pea coat that's falling to bits. It's nice and heavy wool like the Miss Sixty coats, but is MUCH more comfortable on. It is navy with piping. I have not cut the thread that keeps the back vent together, because it needs to be a 10 or back it goes. I think it fits the bill but will await YLF approval!</p> <p>Here's the coat on the website in another color for better details:</p> <p><a href="http://us.asos.com/Oasis-Oasis-Wool-Mix-Grosgain-Trim-Military-Coat/tpd6e/?iid=1305609&#038;SearchQuery=military%20coat&#038;sh=0&#038;pge=0&#038;pgesize=20&#038;sort=-1&#038;clr=Khaki" rel="nofollow">http://us.asos.com/Oasis-Oasis.....;clr=Khaki</a> </p>
