I think if I did yellow on black I'd want it to be more Wolverine than US Navy. </p> <p>I'm still considering the other two, leaning toward #5. I love the hardware on that one, and a longer, slouchy jacket is something I don't have right now.</p> <p>On the other hand, #7 is actually very close to the original in shape (original was not fitted at all, as it was for a little boy), was more expensive originally, and is less expensive now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-and-alternate-yellow-jackets#post-641126 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 16:41:23 +0000 harmonica 641126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with GP. Sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-and-alternate-yellow-jackets#post-641084 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 16:16:37 +0000 Carole 641084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought the navy/yellow combo looked really nice on, but now that you mention the US Navy it might be hard to shake that image. I really love the looks of 5, but probably not very versatile, I just like the classic casualness of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-and-alternate-yellow-jackets#post-641074 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 16:07:29 +0000 lyn67 641074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too think the navy and yellow one is a bit too US Navy... I loved that one you get rid off...:-( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-and-alternate-yellow-jackets#post-640878 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 05:41:26 +0000 rae 640878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, I see what you mean, Manidipa. Well, I will try to take styled pictures of the navy one tomorrow. It's possible I would do better with dye in this case... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-and-alternate-yellow-jackets#post-640864 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 05:15:29 +0000 Lyn D. 640864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, how inventive you are to wear a child's raincoat as a unique cropped jacket!<br /> (I now can understand why it is a bit hot and sweaty in Summer! ) Any-way...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-and-alternate-yellow-jackets#post-640861 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 05:04:53 +0000 ManidipaM 640861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Clearly am in the minority, but I much prefer the nautical vibe of the navy to the fireman/Paddington vibe of the yellow RL. It's also in keeping with the current sporty trend, with the tipping and hood. Would like to see a back and/or side view.</p> <p>The last one, Rae, looks poofy on the belly --- could be a trick of the light or the camera angle, but something to potentially watch for! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-and-alternate-yellow-jackets#post-640860 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 05:02:02 +0000 rae 640860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just aiming for yellow. I don't think the original was nautical, really. It was a toddler's rain coat. #7 is about 12" long, so it would hit in about the same spot as the original. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-and-alternate-yellow-jackets#post-640827 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 04:03:57 +0000 goldenpig 640827@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't like any of them as much as I like the original. Sorry! The others look too big and boxy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-and-alternate-yellow-jackets#post-640826 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 04:02:58 +0000 AJ 640826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So you want a nautical vibe or are you just aiming for yellow? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-and-alternate-yellow-jackets#post-640823 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 03:59:04 +0000 Jonesy 640823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I like #7 the best out of these, but I would have to see it and #5 on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-and-alternate-yellow-jackets#post-640810 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 03:40:05 +0000 cciele 640810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, how closely do you want to replace #6 (which is super cute on you)? I don't get the same vibe from any of the options you've posted... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-and-alternate-yellow-jackets#post-640751 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 02:12:54 +0000 rae 640751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eh, I accidentally left the first one locked up in my desk drawer... just the way this day is going, I guess. Thank you for the headache sympathy - may we both feel better soon!</p> <p>MNsara, I hear the hoodie comment. It does have a hood, and I thought the same. Now, fisherman's jacket is something I can get behind... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-and-alternate-yellow-jackets#post-640747 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 02:10:14 +0000 MNsara 640747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I'm not loving that navy/yellow one right now. It reminds me too much of hoodies (it is hooded, right?).</p> <p>I'd have to see you in the possible replacement jacket -- that one reminds me of the fireman's coat I sewed one year for my son's make-believe play :-)</p> <p>Sorry, and I'm staying tuned to read what others might be seeing. . . ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-and-alternate-yellow-jackets#post-640746 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 02:09:55 +0000 Suz 640746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You too with the headache? What is with the world today? </p> <p>I think it is tough to tell about the first jacket because it's not really styled the way you would wear it and here comes across as a bit uniform-like. Can we see it at home and more in keeping with what you'd actually do? </p> <p>#5 looks potentially more your weekend style. </p> <p>Would this satisfy your yellow jacket craving or are you still thinking about the Gallery trench, too? </p> <p>And you are adorable. Full stop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-and-alternate-yellow-jackets#post-640734 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 01:55:45 +0000 rae 640734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wanted to replace Jacket #6 (donated for being sweaty and uncomfortable). </p> <p>Ordered #1-4 during a sale, but I don't know if I love it. Love the yellow and super dark navy combo, but I think the effect is a bit too US Navy for me? Or is that my headache talking? </p> <p>If I return #1, I might try #5 - this one would be a little longer and looser in fit. It is more expensive than #1 but not by that much.</p> <p>ETA #7. I initially thought the measurements were too big, but I checked against my other jackets and it's fine. Cheapest option. </p>
