I'll keep my fingers crossed you'll find a great one. I love mine and you can't believe how often I've gotten questions about this scarf. I think it's the item I've gotten the most comments on IRL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---wool-coat-2-picture-heavy/page/2#post-1551655 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 17:45:20 +0000 E 1551655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for finally finding the right coat &amp; sticking to your ethical expectations as well! I really love it with your scarf; you inspired me to get a plaid wool scarf as part of my f/w ebay shopping. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---wool-coat-2-picture-heavy/page/2#post-1551328 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 06:34:04 +0000 Astrid 1551328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Alasse!</p> <p>Unfrumped, thanks.I agree with everything you said, especially the coat looking more modern! That's definitely a good thing for my look overall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---wool-coat-2-picture-heavy#post-1551128 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 23:47:55 +0000 unfrumped 1551128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is amazing on you, and a good example of using&nbsp; &nbsp;rules as guidelines and not being dogmatic.<br />I hear you on the shoulder thing with coats, especially heavy coats for layering, because it is so hard to get fit at shoulder, bust, hip to &nbsp;be roomy in the right places but not swamped. <br />A major cocoon style maybe isn't pear-friendly, but this coat just evokes a bit of cocoon and looks much more modern than your other coat tryout, but still fits you well and is not overwhelming.<br />A big keep from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---wool-coat-2-picture-heavy#post-1551118 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 23:21:08 +0000 Alassë 1551118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad you found a coat you love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---wool-coat-2-picture-heavy#post-1551105 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 22:43:44 +0000 Astrid 1551105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diana you're right, it has something of a cape with the neck all buttoned up! I think I'm definitely going to wear it that way too, the high neck doesn't bother me. It's roomy enough and it doesn't feel constricting. </p> <p>Isabel, I agree, it looks great both ways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---wool-coat-2-picture-heavy#post-1551051 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 20:53:03 +0000 Anonymous 1551051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So nice! It looks great in all the pictures and I've never seen a high necked collar that went to lapels so well. Lots of variety and all good.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---wool-coat-2-picture-heavy#post-1551040 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 20:43:06 +0000 Diana 1551040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am late, but wanted to chime in and say that I love it on you.&nbsp; I know what you mean about raglan sleeves but for some reason these seem to be fine on you - maybe because the fabric is stiffer, or it's a dark color so the seam is not obvious, but it looks like an intentional cocoon shape shoulder to me.&nbsp; </p> <p>I love it with the collar up.&nbsp; Almost has a cape-like feel.&nbsp; Would you wear it that way?&nbsp; (I ask because although I love the look, I personally hate the feel of a tight high collar so I never wear my collars up all the way.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---wool-coat-2-picture-heavy#post-1551035 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 20:21:17 +0000 Astrid 1551035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the compliments, everyone - I have to say this coat isn't what I thought I would end up with, but I love it. I tried it again just now after a bit of wait and it's definitely a keeper. Now I just need to get those sleeves altered. I'm so happy that I have my coat situation sorted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---wool-coat-2-picture-heavy#post-1551033 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 20:19:38 +0000 Summer 1551033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it on you, Astrid, and you look very happy wearing it. &nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---wool-coat-2-picture-heavy#post-1551004 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 19:10:47 +0000 kellygirl 1551004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, I love this coat on you, Astrid!

Fabulous gentle cocoon shape with a wonderful funnel neck!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>KEEP. </b>&nbsp;</p> <p>And I am so glad your HEWI winter coat is here at last. You have looked high and low for it for years!!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---wool-coat-2-picture-heavy#post-1550918 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 16:08:18 +0000 Beth Ann 1550918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At first I thought it was black, but as you describe the color and texture, I think the navy would be an excellent choice for you.&nbsp; I love this slight "cocoon" shape --- and it will work with pants and skirts, too.&nbsp; It should fit "easily," so I doubt it's too big.</p> <p>Now, let's all home for some beautiful snow, but an otherwise mild winter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---wool-coat-2-picture-heavy#post-1550915 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 16:05:18 +0000 Angie 1550915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer.

It ticks off all the boxes, and is a classic that you will wear for years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---wool-coat-2-picture-heavy#post-1550866 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 14:23:36 +0000 Glory 1550866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is excellent and will stand up well to the damp cold! Love how you have it with the scarf. My vote is keep but only if you love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---wool-coat-2-picture-heavy#post-1550865 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 14:22:05 +0000 Gaylene 1550865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it.

I am also pear-ish and understand where you are coming from but the cut of the coat looks intentional.<br /> I also love the way you styled it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---wool-coat-2-picture-heavy#post-1550818 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 12:50:54 +0000 Parsley 1550818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks lovely on you, Astrid!&nbsp;<br />I vote keep without any hesitation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---wool-coat-2-picture-heavy#post-1550799 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 12:01:23 +0000 Astrid 1550799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Aliona! You're a close reader for sure. And no, I don't feel the need to talk myself into it, I just tried to give the most information before people asked. I definitely like this one, way more than the first btw.</p> <p>Thanks Approprio! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---wool-coat-2-picture-heavy#post-1550797 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 11:54:57 +0000 approprio 1550797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, that's a fantastic score. A good investment for the continental winter and a keeper for sure. I love the styling on the buttons and collar.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---wool-coat-2-picture-heavy#post-1550788 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 11:28:58 +0000 Anonymous 1550788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a classic, and I think it looks great on you (once sleeves are hemmed). I like that it looks good with the collar both done and undone--often not the case with this style coat, at least on me. I also love that you managed to find an ethically produced wool. I agree with Maneera that it fits your style and wardrobe perfectly. It doesn't look too large, especially now that boxier silhouettes are returning.</p> <p>But...as much as I love it, it sounds like there are lots of justification points in your description. Does that mean you're not feeling it? Given how much wear coats get, will you feel regret each time you put it on? My vote is keep, but what about you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---wool-coat-2-picture-heavy#post-1550787 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 11:22:25 +0000 Astrid 1550787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your input so far! You're right, I do feel comfortable in this, I think you can see it too. I probably wouldn't layer much more than a warm pullover under it right now, but the coat definitely would have room enough for wearing something like a blazer under it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---wool-coat-2-picture-heavy#post-1550786 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 11:17:37 +0000 Maneera 1550786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's an excellent coat, Astrid. Great for layering and looks like a substantial weight. You are a minimalist with few pieces you wear very often. This seems like a coat that will work with everything and accommodate layers underneath as and when needed. I vote KEEP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---wool-coat-2-picture-heavy#post-1550784 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 11:12:15 +0000 cfox 1550784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that other than the sleeves needing to be shortened, the coat fits very nicely. You seem very happy and comfy in it too. </p>
