You're right. I was going back and forth on it, but I just can't get over the length. I just don't love it. And it wasn't cheap! I'm going to return them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---navy-parka-an-alternative#post-714797 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 17:12:17 +0000 Thistle 714797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would return it and see what can be found with a little more length to it.</p> <p>Jackets are something you wear a lot, and something you really show to the fall/winter world more than the outfits underneath in some cases.</p> <p>I recommend waiting to find something you feel fabulous in! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---navy-parka-an-alternative#post-714775 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 16:51:46 +0000 Astrid 714775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, it's really difficult, I have to agree. And coats are a very important part of my wardrobe when you look at my climate! Though you're right, it looks good and it's in navy. Although it's darker than I thought it would be. Maybe I'm too critical? </p> <p>Thanks JAileen. I agree, if I'm not really loving it 100% it probably won't get worn that much. Your jacket looks nice, but too sporty for me. I actually have a jacket (even two) like this too, but it's too 'gear' for my everyday style.</p> <p>ETA<br /> It actually has side entry pockets at exactly the right place for my hands and the draw string waist is at my natural waist. Maybe I should keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---navy-parka-an-alternative#post-714667 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 15:02:13 +0000 JAileen 714667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's such a cute jacket and looks cute on you too. But if you have misgivings about it, you probably won't wear it as much as you'd like. I bought a similar jacket for fall:</p> <p><a href="http://www.woolrich.com/woolrich/browse/productDetail.jsp?icParent=subCategory&#038;icCategory=cat10064&#038;icProduct=15128&#038;icSort=" rel="nofollow">http://www.woolrich.com/woolri.....38;icSort=</a></p> <p>It's sleeves are long too, but has velcro to cinch it up, and I like its sporty look and functionality. I got it at Sierra Trading Post for considerably less than from Woolrich. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---navy-parka-an-alternative#post-714643 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 14:38:07 +0000 Suz 714643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, Astrid. Coats are the bane of your existence, aren't they. </p> <p>I actually think this looks good on you, though. And it's in one of your colours! </p> <p>But if it's not going to feel right, send it back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---navy-parka-an-alternative#post-714638 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 14:29:46 +0000 Astrid 714638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sara. I think the sleeve alteration would cost a bit more because of the lining and the sleeve buttons, but I agree that it could be fixed. I'm not sure I could get used to the length, now that I've seen it it bothers me.</p> <p>Thanks Glory. The sweater I'm wearing in the pictures is similar to the things I would wear under it in fall. I didn't layer my thick jumper under it, but it would have been possible in the bigger size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---navy-parka-an-alternative#post-714619 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 14:17:56 +0000 Glory 714619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this on you. I think it could be a great run around jacket and feel the length is good. Have you tried it with layering under? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---navy-parka-an-alternative#post-714567 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 13:40:27 +0000 Sara L. 714567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is cute and the sleeve length could be fixed, but if the length is going to bug you, I would send it back. I'm sure there's something out there that you would feel better in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---navy-parka-an-alternative#post-714528 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 12:57:59 +0000 Astrid 714528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered this navy parka in hope to wear it with jeans in fall. It's a really nice cotton with a flannel lining, quite cozy. Unfortunately it ends directly on my widest part (I should have known). The sleeves are too long too. I'm thinking return - what do you think?</p> <p>#1-5<br /> Smaller size. Better in the schoulders but too tight in the hips.<br /> #6-8<br /> One size up. Would definitely be better for layering, but the sleeves are too long and the length bugs me. Also with the faux fur collar, although I would never ever wear a jacket that has one. The feeling of this thing against my skin gives me the creeps. </p>
