It has a better fit and I like the collar proportion on you better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-knit-moto-vs-spiegel-leather-jacket#post-1002992 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 15:32:54 +0000 goldenpig 1002992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! <br />Whoops, I just realized that the jacket is by Halogen, not Caslon--will correct the original post.<br />Rachy, I actually like the relaxed style. It's fitted (which I prefer to baggy) but soft.<br />Una, did you get the grey one?<br />Texstyle, I'm wearing the jacket over a sleeveless shell in the skirt outfit, and a long sleeve top (3/4 sleeve) in the jeans outfit. I didn't notice a line before, but I'll look more closely. The sleeves are very fitted, but since it's soft and stretchy it doesn't feel constricting.<br />Denise and AviaMariah, I agree the Spiegel looks a little better with the jeans compared to the Halogen, but overall I think the Halogen will be more versatile.<br />Thanks Joy, Lantana, DayVies &amp; Sveta! Yes, Rae was spot on!<br />Lyn &amp; Florence, the skirt was from Rachel Roy from last year's NAS. I got the earrings separately from Nordstrom (don't remember the brand) about 6 months before. I was excited that the skirt matched the earrings perfectly! It's like my Bobeau polka dot skirt that matches my Kate Spade diaper bag exactly--fun to find exact matches randomly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-knit-moto-vs-spiegel-leather-jacket#post-1002506 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 20:06:30 +0000 Sveta 1002506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer Caslon on you: another one has too big lapels and they overpower you.<br />Good for Rae: her suggestion was spot on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-knit-moto-vs-spiegel-leather-jacket#post-1002407 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 17:27:32 +0000 Day Vies 1002407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them both for different reasons but I am leaning away from the leather. The fabric jacket just fits you better -- it does not seem to overwhelm your figure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-knit-moto-vs-spiegel-leather-jacket#post-1002294 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 15:31:57 +0000 Lantana 1002294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are looking great Nathalie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-knit-moto-vs-spiegel-leather-jacket#post-1002268 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 14:58:50 +0000 FlorenceFearne 1002268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since the jacket issue seems to be pretty well decided, I just had to comment on how much I LOVE the matched earrings/skirt!

Could you/would you wear it over long sleeves? I imagine it's soft enough but will it look lumpy? Does that matter?</p> <p>I think the Spiegel is more of a cold weather jacket and the Caslon looks like an early&nbsp;autumn or indoor jacket.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-knit-moto-vs-spiegel-leather-jacket#post-1001759 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 19:32:51 +0000 catgirl 1001759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the Caslon on you - so much that I am going to Nordies today to try the grey one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-knit-moto-vs-spiegel-leather-jacket#post-1001698 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 18:13:20 +0000 rachylou 1001698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the Spiegel and Caslon are very different. And while the Caslon is flattering, maybe edging out the Spiegel, I find it a little... relaxed for your style. If you could only keep one, I'd actually go with the Spiegel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-knit-moto-vs-spiegel-leather-jacket#post-1001694 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 18:09:57 +0000 goldenpig 1001694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for your input!&nbsp;Well, I think you are right, the Caslon is better suited to my body than the Spiegel. And&nbsp;I didn't even post the side views where Spiegel looks even baggier on me. At least I can put this issue to rest and mail everything back now! Although I emailed them about getting a return label and it's been several days and no response. Their CS leaves a LOT to be desired.</p> <p>Rae, thanks so much for the rec for the Caslon jacket! It's really comfy.</p> <p>Suz, I was so excited to see that the skirt and earrings match--I didn't even buy them at the same time. The Rachel Roy&nbsp;skirt is from last year's NAS.</p> <p>Mani, LOL about the foreground detail. As you can see he's rolling a lot now, almost ready to crawl and he just turned 5 months. I keep hearing the Rawhide theme song in my head when I see him..."Rollin' rollin' rollin', keep those doggies rollin'...." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-knit-moto-vs-spiegel-leather-jacket#post-1001678 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:57:11 +0000 Makrame 1001678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Caslon looks really nice on you whereas Spiegel is so-so. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-knit-moto-vs-spiegel-leather-jacket#post-1001664 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:47:27 +0000 Karie 1001664@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Caslon much better than the Spiegel. The lapels on the Spiegel look too big. There is a better leather jacket out there for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-knit-moto-vs-spiegel-leather-jacket#post-1001652 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:40:21 +0000 christieanne 1001652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really the Caslon and it suits your style persona. I think the leather is a bit overwhelming for you. Return and hold out for a sleeker leather moto later on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-knit-moto-vs-spiegel-leather-jacket#post-1001637 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 17:35:36 +0000 rae 1001637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, I prefer the Caslon with the looser skirt, but I prefer the Spiegel with the form-fitting skinny jeans. I suppose that means a vote for the Caslon, since you need something you can wear to work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-knit-moto-vs-spiegel-leather-jacket#post-1001594 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 16:38:12 +0000 Sara L. 1001594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Caslon over the Spiegel too.

You look so good in it, you are tempting me! Wish I'd seen it prior to going down to Michigan. Hmmm.&nbsp;</p> <p></p> <p>Our Rae knows her stuff!&nbsp;</p> <p>I like it a lot better than the Spiegel on you. What the others said sounds right to me.&nbsp;</p> <p>The earrings with your skirt are amazing!! Great find.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-knit-moto-vs-spiegel-leather-jacket#post-1001422 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 11:32:04 +0000 ManidipaM 1001422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Distracted by a little foreground detail in your photos. But just what unfrumped said is my beef wuth the Spiegel on you. Things just are not in the best proportions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-knit-moto-vs-spiegel-leather-jacket#post-1001419 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 11:20:08 +0000 unfrumped 1001419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do like the Caslon on you. I think the spiegeleisen collar is larger and lower than ideal for your frame. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-caslon-knit-moto-vs-spiegel-leather-jacket#post-1001418 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 11:12:00 +0000 goldenpig 1001418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried on the Spiegel leather jacket in size 4 in this <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-spiegel-leather-jacket-lemming-sale-goggles" rel="nofollow">unstyled K/R</a>. I was pretty sure I was going to return, but several of you said you actually liked it on me, and after seeing it on others, the silhouette is kind of growing on me. So I thought I'd give it a second chance and try it styled to see what you think. Also I tried the <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-amber-sun-black-ponte-moto-jacket" rel="nofollow">Amber Sun ponte moto jacket</a> but it was a bit tomboy for me. Rae suggested I try the <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/caslon-knit-moto-jacket-regular-petite/3383554?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=2375500&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=0&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_1_C" rel="nofollow">Halogen knit moto jacket</a> (1-6, 9-10) instead. What do you think? It's a lot more cropped and fitted through the waist and sleeves, which I prefer. I can wear it as a soft blazer at work, but also use it as a MOTG casual jacket. It's like a more stylish version of the REI black fleece jacket I used to wear a lot pre-YLF. I'm pretty sure I'm keeping the Halogen. but the question is whether I should also keep the Spiegel jacket (7-8, 11-12) too? Is that too redundant to have a knit and a leather jacket in the same style?<br />Thanks!<br />Natalie </p> <p>ETA: I just realized that the knit jacket is Halogen, not Caslon! Whoops--I'll correct the post. Caslon makes a similar <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/caslon-moto-hoodie/3471387?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=Heather+Charcoal&amp;resultback=2806&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_8_A" rel="nofollow">moto hoodie</a>.</p>
