I will attempt to take some pics with the jacket closed just for review. The material is quite stiff due to the polyurethane metallic coating so I don't like how the lapel bends when it is done up. </p> <p>I was so captivated with the jacket when I removed it from the box. Then when I saw the pics I was worried that I wasn't doing the jacket proper justice. I definitely hesitated to post them, for fear that I would hear that it was a disaster.</p> <p>I so appreciate this wonderful community. The honest and constructive feedback presented in a gentle way is invaluable. You are all honestly one of the bright spots in my day. xoxo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-jacket#post-856836 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:56:19 +0000 Jules 856836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's amazing, KEEP!

Love the subtle gleam of the fabric. SO pretty. The cut is divine on you. Sleeve length looks perfect for spring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-jacket#post-856617 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 05:28:27 +0000 CocoLion 856617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful garment. You must keep this. I would like to see it buttoned to see how much pulling is really visible. I know you won't keep it buttoned (who does keep fitted jackets buttoned, after all?) -- it's a way to gauge fit.</p> <p>I love the sleeve length.</p> <p>This is going to look amazing with black pants, jeans, or skirts. Perfect for the B/W trend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-jacket#post-856601 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 05:02:16 +0000 Caro in Oz 856601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Zap - I thought it might be intentional:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-jacket#post-856555 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 04:02:41 +0000 Carole 856555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunningly gorgeous!

I think a size up would be too wide. Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-jacket#post-856473 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 02:42:26 +0000 Suz 856473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy sigh. OH, I want one of these, too. Not in my current budget, alas, so you MUST wear it a lot in your WIWs so I can enjoy it vicariously... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-jacket#post-856433 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 01:56:09 +0000 Sarah A 856433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Posted at the same time as Angie! Glad i am on the right track.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-jacket#post-856430 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 01:55:01 +0000 Sarah A 856430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely jacket. I would say if you can lift your arms to drive etc. You are good. I always do the driving test now after having a jacket i didnt realize was restrictive before purchase. The metallic sheen on the white is spactactular. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-jacket#post-856423 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 01:51:01 +0000 Angie 856423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>You don't need to do yoga in this jacket. Just make sure you can drive and attend to your kids </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-jacket#post-856420 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 01:48:59 +0000 Echo 856420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the cost-benefit analysis, the difference a size up might make would not be worth the cost, IMO. While we cannot see the back, it does not look to be at all tight or pulling in the arms, and the architectural lines and shoulders lend themselves to a closer fit. It LOOKS fantastic, so it is definitely a freen light in that regard, but only you can decide if the comfort factor is worth going up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-jacket#post-856414 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 01:44:24 +0000 Thistle 856414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you can raise your arms and function normally, I think you have a winner. The fit through the shoulders is perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-jacket#post-856393 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 01:22:06 +0000 celia 856393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that is a good fit.<br /> My vote is keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-jacket#post-856321 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 00:24:08 +0000 Mochi 856321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I almost gasped myself at this stunning jacket. I think I'd give it a green light. Enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-jacket#post-856312 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 00:10:12 +0000 Anonymous 856312@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not Tina, but I think the shorter sleeves are intentional. I've seen that feature on a lot of white blazers, I think is to prevent dirty cuffs and to allow the bottom layer to peek thru. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-jacket#post-856309 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 00:05:27 +0000 Caro in Oz 856309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a beautiful jacket &amp; if it feels great then take no notice - it is so hard to tell without seeing you move. </p> <p>What I see is - the arms look a little short (not sure if this is deliberate). </p> <p>Because the collar is large it looks like it is standing away from your body. I think I notice this because I have a large bust &amp; so it isn't a good look on me, what this does imo is make the jacket look a little small. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-jacket#post-856307 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 00:05:00 +0000 rae 856307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree it is hard to speculate. Hm... if you can move and raise your arms and perform daily tasks, then I don't see a reason it needs to close. It is beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-jacket#post-856305 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 00:02:18 +0000 Tina.b 856305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let's say it does not feel loose (but I would say that it is still comfortable). It is tighter than the jackets I normally wear, but not by a lot. I think the sharp shape of the shoulders actually helps with my chunkier arms, lol.</p> <p>I have such a tough time determining proper fit, and I'm so happy to finally have some great direction. Thank you for your insights thus far! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-jacket#post-856301 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 23:52:54 +0000 Anonymous 856301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the fit, it looks really architectural. You might lose a bit of that sharpness with the size up, but without seeing the next size, is mere speculation. Does it feel tight? It does not look tight, at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-jacket#post-856300 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 23:49:53 +0000 Tanya 856300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a gorgeous jacket! Can you lift your arms in front comfortably? If yes, I'd say it is the right size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-jacket#post-856299 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 23:49:50 +0000 Raisin 856299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sure looks great unbuttoned, and as Angie says if that's how you wear it then its ok to not be able to button it. How does it feel across the shoulders? I just love the sheen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-smythe-jacket#post-856297 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 23:47:28 +0000 Tina.b 856297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I posted earlier this week about a Smythe jacket I had ordered. I got great feedback which confirmed the fabness of said jacket. It arrived today, I opened the box and almost gasped. It is more beautiful in person. It is white linen with a silver metallic coating. And the cut of it is just stunning. I love it and I need it.</p> <p>As I mentioned before, this was the largest size available on the Canadian website. I can return it for free, and reorder a larger size from Nordstrom. However, that will add approximately $200 to the cost of the jacket. Which I'm not super keen on but willing to do for love...</p> <p>I just threw it on over the casual outfit I was wearing today (added the shoes, as I fear I look weird in bare feet). Maybe I need to style it with some other pieces to get a better feel? I was surprisingly happy with the way it fit, as I anticipated it would be smaller than this. It is pretty close, ugh. I can do it up no problem, but there is a tiny bit of pulling when I do. However I would not wear it buttoned. But I need your honest opinions, on the fit. Is it too small? </p>
