Can we see how you'd style it? And how much effort would it require? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1194283 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 05:50:48 +0000 Gigi 1194283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deb, speaking from my own experience, if you don't feel fab in it, I would return it. You're probably not just looking for a utilitarian item but something you LOVE. In the past, when I have bought things that I didn't love, they didn't grow on me over time. They were always just "there," useful pieces of clothing.&nbsp;At this price point, I don't think you should settle if your heart isn't in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1194278 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 05:41:55 +0000 Caro in Oz 1194278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah!&nbsp;Is it worth a bit of styling or are you not loving it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1194250 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 04:19:01 +0000 deb 1194250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro, I do have a sleeveless top on under it.&nbsp;I would not be able to wear it with a cotton button down but a silk would work.. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1194233 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 03:54:48 +0000 Caro in Oz 1194233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I <b>really </b>like it on you deb - the fit seems good &amp; the colour is lovely. What would you actually wear it with? Would&nbsp;you try it with some different outfits before you decide?<br />Could you also try it with a sleeveless top underneath? Not that the sleeves look tight but I know with my thin leather jacket it took me awhile to feel comfortable wearing it with a long-sleeve top underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1194215 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 03:40:56 +0000 Jaime 1194215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it is a 10 but it is very good. I think a similar cut with more structured shoulders might work better.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1194205 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 03:25:11 +0000 Catnip 1194205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks much better with the sleeves shorter.&nbsp; Even so, I do not think it is a 10.&nbsp; There's something wrong with the way the lapels drape.&nbsp; If this were a much less expensive jacket, I would&nbsp;say&nbsp;you should keep it.&nbsp; At this price, you should love it without any reservations.&nbsp; </p> <p>Sorry to be a wet blanket.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you decide to return it, you will find something you like even more.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1194199 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 03:11:30 +0000 deb 1194199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the length of the front, and I do like the shorter sleeves, but to me, the back length should be longer. I was expecting a much more fluid fit. The feel the leather is wonderful but I do not feel fab in it. I think I should put it on and not want to take it off, that would make it a 10. I will play with it some more and see how&nbsp;I feel.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1194161 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 02:26:47 +0000 Gigi 1194161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do think that rolling up the sleeves makes a big difference, but my personal feeling is that this is still not a 10. For me, what I am seeing is that the length of the jacket cuts you in half. Having the jacket be more like 1/3 of your height would perhaps look better (?).&nbsp;I guess I am very sensitive to proportions, because I am very short and have to have all the help I can get! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1194160 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 02:25:33 +0000 Suz 1194160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks much better like this, Deb. <b>MUCH.</b> How do you feel about it?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1194120 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 01:38:50 +0000 catgirl 1194120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. I think length of jacket is the difference. My shorter jacket looks good with long/scrunchy sleeves. Your longer one is better with a more traditional sleeve. Interesting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1194106 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 01:28:25 +0000 Angie 1194106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It made a huge difference, Debs. Thanks for being attentive to my styling&nbsp;whims. I love this on you. Do you?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1194063 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 00:41:15 +0000 El Cee 1194063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting, Deb… the shortening of the sleeves <b>does</b> make a&nbsp;difference to my eye, especially when viewed from the front and side. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1194041 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 00:16:46 +0000 Suz 1194041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems as if it is lacking structure for you. Roll those sleeves under (or scrunch them) so we can see that. Show us a couple of ways you might wear it. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you! (Said bossy sister Suz).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1193957 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 22:03:14 +0000 Angie 1193957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you tuck under the length of the sleeves for a little more structure? I love the fit on the body and neckline.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1193956 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 22:01:24 +0000 El Cee 1193956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Missvee is onto something, Deb. Perhaps the sleeves <b>are</b> what is throwing off the overall look. Have you tried scrunching them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1193954 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:59:36 +0000 missvee 1193954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it looks too long at all, but the sleeves are definitely throwing off the look, and it does seem a bit big through the back. Too bad, but there will be something even better waiting in the wings for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1193952 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:57:29 +0000 Janet 1193952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it's a 10. There are things I like about it, but somehow I don't think it's doing you justice -- the fit does not seem to be perfect, although I can see from the shoulders that sizing down is not the answer. I wonder if it's the length, as has been mentioned.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1193945 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:51:10 +0000 catgirl 1193945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually think the longer length is fresh and my sleeves fit like this too.&nbsp; I am a little worried about the&nbsp;way the flaps fall, which make it look more like a cardigan/sweater to my eye.&nbsp; I don't know and it&nbsp;makes me sad too, because&nbsp;I know how&nbsp;fab this jacket feels (I have the colorblock one which is shorter)....&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1193938 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:44:27 +0000 deb 1193938@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It makes me sad! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1193909 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:06:08 +0000 El Cee 1193909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful color on you… and I love the drape and cut,&nbsp;but I agree that something about the overall length is not quite right. It is not a perfect 10. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1193904 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 21:03:49 +0000 Lyn D. 1193904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a shame Deb, because the colour and drape is very nice </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1193882 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 20:46:50 +0000 deb 1193882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would not be able to size down because&nbsp;it fits my shoulders perfectly. I also&nbsp;think the length is wrong for me.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1193877 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 20:41:20 +0000 Gigi 1193877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's funny that Lyn D. should say that about the length, because&nbsp;before I read her response, I was asking myself what this jacket would look like if it were a little shorter. Judging from the back, it looks like it may be a tad big. I guess my overall feeling on it is that it's OK but not a 10. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1193866 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 20:28:44 +0000 Lyn D. 1193866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the sleeves may be a little long, but that can be adjusted.<br />I might prefer the overall length to be shorter or longer too, are you able to try a size down for comparison? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---vince-jacket#post-1193846 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 20:03:51 +0000 deb 1193846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/vince-paper-draped-leather-jacket/3662421?origin=category-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=COASTAL+BLUE&amp;resultback=342&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_2_D" rel="nofollow">Vince jacket </a>arrived today. I love the feel of it but I thin the sleeves may be a little long. Although, every long sleeved sweater, top, or jacket I have tried on lately has had sleeves that hit me like this jacket. Is that the new style? Anyway, do you think it is a 10? For the price, it needs to be a 10. </p> <p>ETA - added pics with sleeves tucked. (please ignore the slippers)</p>
