Did I scare you with visions of the farmer's market? I hope not. I'm sad. I really liked it. But if it was squeezing you, that's no go. Bad for the digestion.<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-929039 Thu, 09 May 2013 22:24:54 +0000 Janet 929039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sizing is wack in so many things. It 's a shame that some designers seem to want to make us feel large. I can see the fit issue as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-929036 Thu, 09 May 2013 22:22:42 +0000 annagybe 929036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to return it, mostly because it's so snug it makes me feel fat. Which is weird because I wear all sorts of things tight. A size 10 should not be snug in a large jacket. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928998 Thu, 09 May 2013 21:14:42 +0000 Janet 928998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to love it. I love it in theory. But I agree that something is problematic about the proportions of this jacket. On to better things! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928989 Thu, 09 May 2013 21:04:51 +0000 unfrumped 928989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I can see why you liked it--it's got some great details and isn't too over powering. <br />But I think it's not the one. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928974 Thu, 09 May 2013 20:47:07 +0000 missvee 928974@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm having a hard time getting past Rachylou's evocative prose :-), but I'm in agreement with those who say it's too short for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928954 Thu, 09 May 2013 20:29:00 +0000 Marley 928954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm chuckling at Rachlou's comments and having a hard time picturing you running a farmer's market stall . . . ha!&nbsp; just writing it made me laugh again!<br /><br />I vote return the jacket.&nbsp; It just doesn't look like it fits correctly!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928945 Thu, 09 May 2013 20:19:03 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 928945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it on you, but I'm not crazy about it with those jeans. I think it's where the jacket hits in relation to the jeans pockets in back. Are those pockets in the same place as most of your jeans, or are they lower? If they're unusually low, then I think the jacket will work fine. But if those jeans are pretty representative of where pockets tend to fall on you, then I think the jacket has a problem; if it doesn't play well with your jeans, should it be in your closet? ;)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928879 Thu, 09 May 2013 18:43:21 +0000 Isis 928879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Rats.&nbsp; I wanted this piece to work!&nbsp; But I think you are right, that you are too tall for this particular one.&nbsp; On to better things!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928871 Thu, 09 May 2013 18:31:51 +0000 Scarlet 928871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It looks good open, but when it is closed the fit looks off. I would hold out for something else. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928863 Thu, 09 May 2013 18:19:03 +0000 ironkurtin 928863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I kinda love it on you.&nbsp; If this one doesn't work, definitely look out for another peplum!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928829 Thu, 09 May 2013 17:39:28 +0000 catgirl 928829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It's so hard to find the perfect peplum - I gave it a try with that leather one but passed it on to MaryK.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928808 Thu, 09 May 2013 17:13:46 +0000 rachylou 928808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have your whole life planned for you, Anna, if you keep this jacket...<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928804 Thu, 09 May 2013 17:10:03 +0000 rachylou 928804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well now, I'm gonna swim against the tide. I like it on you. I couldn't believe that was the same jacket that was in the stock photo. Kept my mouth shut because I felt it cheap and uninspired looking. Good thing I did too, because I was wrong (I really could use some more imagination). I frankly also like it with the house clogs.<br /><br />BUT - and here's the rub - it's Native Wear. As in "Bay Area Native." As in "punk-out-of-uniform." As in anti-fashion fashion. The total outfit for raising a brood of smudge-cheeked children with mohawks and an excess of purple eyeliner. <br /><br />I'm thinking *maybe that's not you...*<br /><br />...unless you'd be down with a big man with sideburns, a shrunken fedora, lots of tatoos, a jam-packed iPod, and who's gone all night tending the coals in the brick-oven of the artisan bakery he's got going. You could run the farmer's market stall...<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928711 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:27:14 +0000 Rambling Ann 928711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Even if free, I would send it back. That peplum skirt is out of proportion for the bodice, to my eye. Bummer. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928702 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:23:30 +0000 Anonymous 928702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the idea of it, but I agree, it isn't a 10.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928699 Thu, 09 May 2013 15:22:51 +0000 Eliza 928699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the idea of different&nbsp;take on a shorter black leather jacket and can see why this had appeal. &nbsp;Agree with those who say it isn't quite right on and I know that stuff that is this finicky goes to the back of my closet, which is never &nbsp;a good idea, never mind on a pricey item that could be a joy creating work horse. &nbsp;I think that the jacket has a lot going on, with extra zipper detail that accentuates the peplum, which then has to lay extra just so because there is now a silver line delineating it.&nbsp;Don't despair. There are a lot of fish in the black leather jacket sea!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928264 Thu, 09 May 2013 03:24:29 +0000 MsMary 928264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I kind of love it zipped, but I defer to the wisdom of the forum.<br /><br />And is it just me, or is the model in the link a female Leonardo di Caprio?<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928263 Thu, 09 May 2013 03:24:08 +0000 K. Period. 928263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ : \ &nbsp;So bummed. I love the idea of the jacket. &nbsp;It is amazing. I don't think it works though, and, yes, it does almost kill me to write that. Drat! &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928209 Thu, 09 May 2013 02:44:44 +0000 rae 928209@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hm, I think I agree with Angie, and maybe you are right that it doesn't fit with your epiphany. I don't think it stands up to your current jacket collection. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928206 Thu, 09 May 2013 02:42:18 +0000 Anonymous 928206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sure. I think the styling is throwing me off. I think you should try it with other alternatives before it goes back. What about a skirt? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928201 Thu, 09 May 2013 02:37:20 +0000 Anonymous 928201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Something about that peplum looks sweet on you. Maybe just because you haven't really styled it? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928197 Thu, 09 May 2013 02:33:12 +0000 Angie 928197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I definately prefer it open, Anna. There is something about the peplum on that jacket when it's closed that isn't quite right - looks nice from the side though. Too long or horizontally cutting? Not sure. That's why it's not a 10 to my eye, and I vote return. <br /><br />Onto something better! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928156 Thu, 09 May 2013 02:09:52 +0000 Karie 928156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm not sold on the fit either, I'm not sure about the length on you. I do&nbsp;like it better zipped.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928147 Thu, 09 May 2013 02:03:46 +0000 Caro in Oz 928147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with Mo. Does it feel small/short/uncomfortable? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928133 Thu, 09 May 2013 01:57:07 +0000 Mo 928133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love the style! But not so sure on the fit. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928131 Thu, 09 May 2013 01:55:34 +0000 Thistle 928131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not sure it fits. It doesn't seem long enough as you mentioned. Do you feel it gives your style the oomph you are looking for? You mentioned before toppers and shoes were critical. Tis doesn't feel as cutting edge to me as some of your other choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-manrepeller-x-pjk-jacket#post-928126 Thu, 09 May 2013 01:50:35 +0000 annagybe 928126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I got the jacket today. For reference here's the stock photo. I got it on sale, but still spendy.<br />&nbsp;<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446564588&amp;R=885834209269&amp;P_name=The+Man+Repeller+x+PJK&amp;sid=13E86F688F1A&amp;Ntt=manrepeller&amp;N=0&amp;bmUID=jW78S6C">http://www.saksfifthavenue.com.....R=88583420</a><br /><br />This is a size large, so I can't size up. It's made of stretchy material. Somehow I don't think it's a 10. I'm not sure it fits my style epiphany&nbsp;I kinda want it to be longer, maybe I'm too tall for it.&nbsp;First three pictures are zipped up, last three unzipped. Excuse commuting clothes, house clogs and bad light. The white bits are tissue paper covering the zipper pulls.<br />Was I blinded by Manrepeller goggles?<br /><br />Yay - Keep<br />Nay - Return
