I don't think that this type of thing goes out of style at all. But at best, I am neutral on it.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-896450 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 20:03:30 +0000 Scarlet 896450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I haven't read all the comments, but to answer your question I do not think this style will date quickly and the neck doesn't bother me. I think the neck&nbsp;&nbsp;looks cosy, and if you want to you can fold it over like it looks like they do in one of the pictures of the model. I like the style and fit, but if there are details about the fit that are bugging you, I can't tell from the photos. I doesn't look too big to me and I can't see a problem with the shoulders. Having said that, I pay attention to how seams fit shoulders, but besides that it seems&nbsp;I am a shoulder equal-opportunist. I usually think shoulders look completely normal when posters here complain about theirs.<br /><br />ETA: whoops, decision made, I see. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-896404 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 19:14:02 +0000 rachylou 896404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I was prepared not to like it, but you are so cool Denise, you look great in it. Still, PPP! I think you made the right choice.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-896401 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 19:09:38 +0000 CocoLion 896401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for all of the comments. &nbsp;I shall return this jacket. &nbsp;You all made excellent points. &nbsp;I love Caro's acid test: &nbsp;"would I buy it if it were a chain store item?" &nbsp;No I would not buy this today. &nbsp;But I might buy it next year, if it were under $100 (given the poor fit). https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895620 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 00:46:15 +0000 Thistle 895620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ So, I am biased, as the collar would drive me bats!<br /><br />i like the color and the style. &nbsp;I don't like that it is scratchy. &nbsp;At this price point, I don't think you should tolerate scratchy.<br /><br />i thinking is overwhelming because of the collar, otherwise,I think the fit is more slouchy than tailored, but still on trend.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895473 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 22:15:12 +0000 Susie 895473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it in pictures 4 and 7 but zipped it looks too big on you. On the model, it looks more fitted and, with it closed, you still see her neck while on you it seems to swallow you. <br /><br />Can you try a size down? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895472 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 22:14:52 +0000 kellygirl 895472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like it, especially in 4 with the sleeves scrunched. It look oversized in a trendy way like my bomber. Curious to read everyone else's thoughts. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895468 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 22:12:35 +0000 Ariadne 895468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Denise, I don't think this item does you or your amazing style any justice. &nbsp;It looks like it's swallowing you. &nbsp;I'm sorry. &nbsp;I vote return.<br /><br />I have a moto-cut boucle cardi that reminds me of this a bit (this one:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BCBG-Black-Combo-Reeve-Zip-Up-Moto-Cardigan-XS-248-NTX4F406-/190787478535?pt=US_CSA_WC_Sweaters&amp;hash=item2c6bd1e407">http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BC.....9078747853</a>). &nbsp;It does work well for my lifestyle, so I can see why this one is tempting for you (brand aside). &nbsp;Keep hunting and I bet you'll find the perfect thing in time. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895467 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 22:11:47 +0000 Anonymous 895467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it a lot, and I think shoulder pads would solve the fit issues. However, I just bought a nubby tweed jacket and now I wish I would have waited until next fall. I'm afraid it just won't feel new to me in 9 months, and I seem to always get burned when I buy winter clothes once our weather warms up. I know you really enjoy wearing the new trends so I would just worry that this wouldn't feel fresh enough to make you happy by then. *sigh* What to do? Sorry I'm not much help! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895457 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 22:04:34 +0000 Anonymous 895457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I guess I am the only one...but I really love this jacket on you! The slightly boxy fit looks great to my eye and I like the exaggerated collar, especially when open.&nbsp; I really like how you styled it with slim jeans and sleek boots. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895438 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 21:48:18 +0000 Caro in Oz 895438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the idea of this but I'm not sure given all the cons. I have a real problem with things that don't fit on the shoulders.&nbsp;<br /><br />The question I ask myself when faced with this dilemma is would I buy it if it was a chain store item?<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895400 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 21:10:11 +0000 Nicole D 895400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That is a gorgeous piece, and I think you could fold the collar down like in the model pic. &nbsp;I agree though, it does look a bit too large in the hip area, and would work as outerwear but not as well as a blazer.Tailoring? &nbsp;Sucks when you need more room in the bust, I am the same and all my dress shirts have sloppy shoulders but I just can't stand that gape on the sit down test. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895393 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 21:05:53 +0000 Transcona Shannon 895393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It's gorgeous Denise - I do really like it on you when it is done up like in pics #2 and #3 and from the side, I love the shape. I like it less undone as I think it looks a little bit big that way. I guess I'm the outlier in preferring it done up. I'm on the fence though regarding overall fit. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895391 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 21:05:11 +0000 Diana 895391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ How do you feel about shoulder pads, Denise?&nbsp; I have a similar fit problem with many jackets (shoulders too droopy) and adding small shoulder pads sharpens and lifts the shoulders.<br /><br />I think it has potential if you can sort out the shoulder droopiness!&nbsp; I like the high-low hem a lot.&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895385 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 21:01:08 +0000 Raisin 895385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sorry Denise, but I don't really love it on you. &nbsp;I don't know if it's the size or the color but it looks, dare I say, a bit frumpy...eek, sorry, I hate giving a thumbs down, but I think it's not really your cool, edgy style.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895327 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 20:02:05 +0000 Anonymous 895327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I would say that pic 6 bothers me as it looks big around your hips, it kind of stands&nbsp; away. The rear view on the model shows it fitting closer around her hips so I would say that maybe you should try sizing down. I really love the style of the jacket very much. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895312 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 19:52:11 +0000 Suz 895312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is a tough one. I really like it (in itself) and it's definitely a classic style (updated with the high-low hem). I also like how you look in it when it's open and the sleeves are scrunched. But the shoulders really do look big on you. So...I'm not 100% sure, and not a lot of help, either! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895271 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 18:57:54 +0000 modgrl 895271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well I like it on you and I think it looks better on you than on the model. <br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895265 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 18:51:54 +0000 cciele 895265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I also think it looks unintentionally large. Also, I'd hesitate buying things to wear in the future, because often tastes change... https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895264 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 18:51:01 +0000 ironkurtin 895264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am so sad to say this but it looks big.&nbsp; I love Rag and Bone!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895222 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 17:51:21 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 895222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I see the same thing as Ceit, the collar seems to be engulfing your neck and head. So I like it open, but not closed. Is sizing down an option?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895218 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 17:48:42 +0000 Glory 895218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Swimming against the tide and saying I love this on you. I like the fit the way it is - a knit seems to want that.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895213 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 17:45:10 +0000 catgirl 895213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, Denise - don't hate me but I think it looks&nbsp;a little big.&nbsp; And the collar is not my cup of tea.&nbsp; You may not love it by the time it's in season again.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895204 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 17:30:50 +0000 Liz A. 895204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I was thinking something similar about the size. &nbsp;Maybe if you wore it with a wider leg pant? Or boot cut? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895182 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 16:55:23 +0000 DonnaF 895182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I see the appeal and have a black &amp; white ++ tweed jacket on my wish list myself.&nbsp; I like it with the sleeves scrunched.&nbsp; With them long, even folded under, I feel like the jacket overpowers tiny you and even looks like a gear sweater.&nbsp; Is it hugely bulky, or is it perhaps just a size too big?&nbsp; Can you size down?&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895179 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 16:53:03 +0000 CocoLion 895179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ceit, it is scratchy enough to wear a layer underneath but I would do that anyway. &nbsp;The collar is lined so no scratchy there at all.<br /><br />I really like the loose fit around the torso, but does anyone else think this might be a size too big everywhere else on me? &nbsp;The shoulders are a little big, a fact which is not visible in the pictures. &nbsp;Then again this is a typical fit problem I have: &nbsp;if it fits around the shoulders and sleeves, it is too tight across the bust. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895178 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 16:53:02 +0000 texstyle 895178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The general style seems classic but I feel like maybe&nbsp;it is a bit overwhelming on you. I do like the colors and the cozy look of it.&nbsp; I'm not sure. Do you love it? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895172 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 16:46:07 +0000 Anonymous 895172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it all except the collar -- it kind of looks like it is smothering you. Does it feel ok? Love the colours. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---rag-bone-minetta-jacket#post-895165 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 16:43:28 +0000 CocoLion 895165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love Rag &amp; Bone but struggle to buy&nbsp;their goods at full price. &nbsp;I got this jacket marked down. &nbsp;It is the Rag &amp; Bone Minetta sweater jacket. &nbsp;I have been wanting a jacket like this ever since I saw them last year.<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.barneys.com/Rag-Bone-Minetta-Jacket/502197233,default,pd.html?cgid=sale&amp;index=1">http://www.barneys.com/Rag-Bon.....38;index=1</a><br /><br />Pros: &nbsp;I do wear a lot of sweaters, and with its jacket construction it is a little more dressy than my other cardigans but still would work with my casual lifestyle. &nbsp;Also, the garment is high quality and the colors (blue, black, cream) work well with my wardrobe. &nbsp;<br /><br />Cons: &nbsp;Sleeves are ultra long, even on the model! &nbsp;I folded them under in most of the pictures. &nbsp;Other cons: &nbsp;it does my soft shoulders no favors. &nbsp;And, it is out-of-season, I would buy this for next season wear.<br /><br />What do you think? &nbsp;Do you think this is&nbsp;a classic style that won't look dated quickly?
