That low fill count is perfect for Northern CA. I wish I could get into the Uniqlo store more often than the occasional trip to SF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-se-long-puffy-vest#post-1837019 Thu, 17 Aug 2017 03:49:05 +0000 DonnaF 1837019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After all that, I decided the SE vest is so stiff that it would drive me nuts.&nbsp; It is stuffed with polyester, but I don't know if it would soften after awhile or not.&nbsp; Plus, I need to remind myself that if I do a K/R, it generally means I ought to return it.</p> <p>Today, I went to Uniqlo and bought the down coat and vest below.&nbsp; I reordered them online to get $10 off on the coat and $5 off on the vest, plus another $10 off for a first online order.&nbsp; Anything for $25.&nbsp; So the two combined are only $6 more than the NAS priced SE vest.&nbsp; I can layer the coat under my raincoat, and even layer the vest below THAT, so they will be perfect when I go to Chicago in November.&nbsp; The coat is long enough to wear over my dresses which the SE really is not.</p> <p>The Uniqlo stuff is ultra-thin and sweater/underlayer weight so great for my mild California climate.&nbsp; Definitely not hardy like gear brands. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-se-long-puffy-vest#post-1837016 Thu, 17 Aug 2017 03:34:14 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1837016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, too bad about the missing button--and the delay in wearing it! But it's good that they have another one to send to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-se-long-puffy-vest#post-1836867 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 17:36:34 +0000 Lisa 1836867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is really cute. &nbsp;Angie brings up a great question, I was wondering myself if this is an outerwear piece for you, will you be able to wear it? &nbsp;If so, go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-se-long-puffy-vest#post-1836799 Wed, 16 Aug 2017 13:38:35 +0000 Janet 1836799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm late to this, but even though it's longer on you than on the model, I quite like it. Especially open (although I don't know how much you plan to close it). The color is really nice too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-se-long-puffy-vest#post-1836681 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 23:42:54 +0000 karen13 1836681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. The color is great and it fits - and the bottom zip will make it very functional. It wounds like it meet a need for you. &nbsp;I don't have any puffy vest,s because if it is cold enough to need a layer, I usually want my arms covered too, but I run a bit cold in a cool climate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-se-long-puffy-vest#post-1836665 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 22:37:16 +0000 DonnaF 1836665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie, Teresa, smittie, Firecracker, JAileen, Joy, lozz_oz, Mainelady, bridgie, Kathie, Inge, crst, and Banoffi for taking the time and effort to weigh in.&nbsp; I wanted to see what the vest looks like without the *fur* so I unbuttoned that add-on -- and discovered it was missing a button.&nbsp; Nordstrom can't just send me a button; they are sending out a whole new vest.&nbsp; So it looks like I won't be keeping this one but will have to wait another week or more.&nbsp; Too bad, because our mornings are again in the 50s and low 60s so it would be nice to be able to cut the tags. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-se-long-puffy-vest#post-1836495 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 14:12:18 +0000 Banoffi 1836495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The vest looks great on you. &nbsp;It looks like it fits well and doesn't overwhelm your frame. &nbsp;I think it helps that it doesn't have sleeves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-se-long-puffy-vest#post-1836460 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 12:45:59 +0000 crst 1836460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It definitely looks better on you than me. The fit looks spot on and the color is great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-se-long-puffy-vest#post-1836426 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 10:22:34 +0000 Inge 1836426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fit, colour and style look fabulous on you, Donna, not Michelin Man-esque at all ;-)<br />I think it looks chich and fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-se-long-puffy-vest#post-1836424 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 10:16:23 +0000 Kathie 1836424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's great on you- color and the faux fur trim both work well with your hair. And, even though it's a bit longer on you, than the model, it doesn't seem too long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-se-long-puffy-vest#post-1836422 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 10:00:39 +0000 bridgie 1836422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks very nice to me.&nbsp; I think the color is great with your hair color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-se-long-puffy-vest#post-1836418 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 08:59:12 +0000 Mainelady 1836418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the long vest fits you well, and is flattering. I love the color on you. What will you wear under it? A hefty sweater? Do you have room to zip comfortably if you add a heavier layer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-se-long-puffy-vest#post-1836393 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 05:55:05 +0000 lozz_oz 1836393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not Michelin man at all (I thinks it's jackets with sleeves that tend to create that look!)<br />Great colour + length too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-se-long-puffy-vest#post-1836350 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 02:18:51 +0000 Anonymous 1836350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you and was sorry the white color was sold out in my size as I need to replace an old similar vest that has has lots of wear..<br /> For me the whitish "fur" trim makes the color work. Have you tried driving in that length? It looks long but works if you will wear it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-se-long-puffy-vest#post-1836347 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 01:59:34 +0000 JAileen 1836347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it grey? It looks brown in the picture. The size looks fine, to me, although quite long. </p> <p>BTW, Lands End has a *silver* down vest on sale. It might be Michelin-like, though:</p> <p><a href="https://www.landsend.com/products/womens-hooded-down-vest/id_304585_59?sku_0=" rel="nofollow">https://www.landsend.com/produ....._59?sku_0=</a>::KB6 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-se-long-puffy-vest#post-1836346 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 01:57:50 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1836346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great! Not Michelin-man at all. Looks like a good fit and length. I like the color on you and the fur trim nicely frames your face. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-se-long-puffy-vest#post-1836337 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 01:31:29 +0000 DonnaF 1836337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We keep our house very cold so I tend to wear vests a LOT; I like the freedom of movement.&nbsp; I rarely wear true outerwear when I'm out and about.&nbsp; If I'm outside, I'm walking (fast), and if I'm standing around waiting for public transportation, I'm sheltered underground. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-se-long-puffy-vest#post-1836336 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 01:29:05 +0000 Anonymous 1836336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow! I think this looks absolutely fantastic on you!

Does it work with your climate, and will you wear it?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-se-long-puffy-vest#post-1836324 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 01:02:46 +0000 Teresa 1836324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it on you, not too long! &nbsp;If my climate was dry in the winter I'd totally get it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-se-long-puffy-vest#post-1836319 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 00:37:59 +0000 DonnaF 1836319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The last of my NAS orders finally arrived. The first two pics are with the back zipper up. Then I read the reviews and discovered there's a zipper that would make long strides possible, so the last two pics are with it unzipped. I wish there were more snaps.</p> <p>This doesn't come in Petite sizes, but the pockets seem to hit at the right place. Too long? Too Michelin Man? What do you think of the color?</p> <p>I am undecided so your insights are welcome. </p>
