Maybe another better Danier jacket will come along. I did like it a lot on you though, but I see how too many hesitations make it not worth spending all the $.

The more into style I get the less I find appealing there, but for basics, why not? And the quality is good especially for the price point. Everything I have bought there has lasted for years &amp; many washes, often long past the point I want to wear the item! The pants become lounge/garden mucking wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket/page/2#post-860381 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:24:58 +0000 Jules 860381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's such a beautiful colour, especially on you. I agree that this kind of warm yellow can transition better into fall than a citron. My wondering question is, if leather is not that tight to begin with, will it still stretch all that much? I think not?<br /> I'm no fit expert or stickler! I especially love it with the dress, the outfit is beautiful and totally distracts me from any less than ideal jacket-over-dress fit.<br /> The price is good enough that I don't think you need to be *that* hung up on long term wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket/page/2#post-860349 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:55:06 +0000 ironkurtin 860349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh you are so much braver than I am. I could never do a yellow jacket. If it makes you happy, keep it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket/page/2#post-860348 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:54:11 +0000 Sara L. 860348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jacket looks great on you! The sleeves look okay to me and once you get them shortened that will probably fix any minor sleeve issues. I think some of the problem is that some fabrics just don't photograph that well. It's hard to get a sense of the softness of the leather from a photograph. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket/page/2#post-860342 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:46:53 +0000 Anonymous 860342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, not all all. I do love the color. I have not read the other comments yet. If the next size down does not work, and you love it, keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket/page/2#post-860338 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:44:17 +0000 Transcona Shannon 860338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did try the size down and it was uncomfortably tight across the back of the shoulders and had about a 2-3 inch gap at the waist - I don't mind a jacket that can't physically be done up, but I like it to at least look like it could and the size down didn't.</p> <p>I'm getting the sense that I should be returning the jacket? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket/page/2#post-860320 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:24:28 +0000 Anonymous 860320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the color suits you but, I know I will need to hide under a rock after this, did you try the size down? The jacket looks a little roomy for a brand new leather jacket. I am just thinking about your prior Danier purchases and how they molded / stretched after a while plus the fact that you are on a weight loss program. That looks like lambskin, it will stretch. </p> <p>I think you should go for the next size down.</p> <p>Shoes are awesome </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket/page/2#post-860319 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 14:18:12 +0000 lyn67 860319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually love the motto with the dress, too, and it's such a fresh colour! lOVE THE OXFORDS, TOO:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket#post-860285 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:40:17 +0000 Sarah A 860285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the oxfords and the jacket worn over the dress I dont mind the proportion of either although it is less conventional that a shorter jacket would be. But I am struggling with the yellow, it is SO your personality in a jacket though! Perhaps it is the beige wall and the yellow jacket pairing throwing me off.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket#post-860270 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:32:12 +0000 Janet 860270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, the oxfords are the bomb! </p> <p>And if anyone can rock a yellow leather jacket, it is you! I think it looks particularly great with the pants outfits, and it's a terrific accent for all the black and white in your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket#post-860265 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:28:33 +0000 Suz 860265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, the colour is so fresh and fun, and I agree it could be styled in many ways for different seasons. i much prefer this jacket with the trousers at this point, but it is possible as the leather warms and once the sleeve issue is fixed, it would look fine with dresses as well. </p> <p>I am uncomfortable with the fit of the arms as well. I do think shortening would help, but overall they seem a bit bulky anyway. I wonder what Danier would say re: alterations. </p> <p>Your new oxfords look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket#post-860249 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 13:18:00 +0000 Claudia 860249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you scored with both these. Especially crushing on these oxfords. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket#post-860208 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 12:34:56 +0000 Transcona Shannon 860208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shoes are a no-brainer and glad you all like them.</p> <p>Echo - I would say they run TTS and are medium width. I don't find them too narrow but if they were, the leather is soft enough that I think they would stretch some. They are definitely more like a "barely there" shoe but have a surprisingly supportive and comfy footbed.</p> <p>Krishnidoux - the jeans in 6 and 7 are a pair of dark wash Reitmans straight leg jeans - they are pull on jeans of all things. They are very comfortable and I've had them for a few years now. Amazingly good quality for low price point.</p> <p>The jacket - there appear to be questions and concerns regarding fit on both the body but more so on the sleeves, as well as some questions about the colour. The sleeves are definitely not going to fit like my black leather jacket which has knit on the back making them very fitted. This is a looser style jacket overall and is not at all what I would call a structured moto. The leather is much, much too soft and drapey for that. Danier would shorten the sleeves and I could also ask about narrowing them some if that's possible and affordable. Do you think that would solve the issue? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket#post-860197 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 12:18:31 +0000 Vildy 860197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket. And you didn't ask about the handbag and maybe it's because it's closer to the camera but would really like the jacket outfits worn with a smaller and jauntier handbag. That jacket just sings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket#post-860193 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 12:08:50 +0000 Thistle 860193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the shoes, those are keepers for sure.</p> <p>I love the jacket on you. It goes with all of your neutrals, and the yellow looks great on you. It is also a happy color for you.</p> <p>I think the sleeves will be fine when shortened. I think a bunch of the "slouch" comes from rolling them under and there being that extra fabric. I am not totally sure on that, though, as I am still figuring out fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket#post-860182 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 11:45:08 +0000 Karie 860182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket and the shoes! I would wear the jacket year round, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket#post-860181 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 11:44:07 +0000 krishnidoux 860181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, this is a great purchase. It brightens beautifully the outfits you wear it with above, and the colour is flattering on you. Keep. And congratulations for your new Oxfords. They are very cute.</p> <p>BTW I absolutely adore the jeans in 6-7. They fit you so well! And go really well with the jacket too. What are they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket#post-860179 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 11:41:07 +0000 Raisin 860179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh I love oxfords of all sorts, and these ones are great on you!</p> <p>The jacket - color is fab, it's a bit loose to my eye. Are you planning to wear it mostly in Spring with thinner tops, or would you put knits or sweaters under it too?</p> <p>ETA - I think it's the arms that are too loose, not the body, the body looks really e good zipped actually. But not ridiculously loose, just something I noted if you want to be super PPP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket#post-860178 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 11:37:08 +0000 Mochi 860178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Cocolion, Shannon. I immediately noticed how big (differentiated from long) the sleeves are. The body seems to fit quite nicely, but I think your arms are swamped by the sleeves.</p> <p>The oxfords are adorable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket#post-860146 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 08:17:38 +0000 ElleH 860146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those Oxfords Shannon &amp; think I want them! I love the colour of the jacket. I don't feel I know enough to comment on fit in this changing time in fashion, where looser fits are intended in the design. It seems to fit in body &amp; shoulders when zipped so maybe the arms are supposed to be like that for layering. </p> <p>I want some of those Oxfords in the other colour, if budget &amp; priorities, as per Angie's great post, allow. Do they run narrow? Do you think they are soft enough to stretch in width? Are they more of a jazz ballet type shoe than an Oxford do you think? I hope so as that is what I want. A soft barely there shoe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket#post-860121 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 07:18:47 +0000 rae 860121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was SO hoping you'd try the yellow. I'm smitten with the color and kinda want one for me, too. </p> <p>I was also questioning whether the sleeves are too wide. I'm raising an eyebrow at myself because of my recent sleeve issues with the trench... the soft, slouchy materials might not photograph the way we see them IRL. The sleeves also look so amazing pushed up, which you probably would not be able to do if they were as fitted as the body. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket#post-860111 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 06:46:05 +0000 CocoLion 860111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the way the jacket looks with grey. I think it will look great with a mostly white outfit as well. And of course with black, it is a classic look and great for the office.</p> <p>It looks like the jacket is designed to have looser sleeves but a more fitted body. Or, it could just be a trick of photography and the fact that they aren't properly altered yet. Or, Shannon, you have delicate slender arms. So the sleeves fit is the only issue. Otherwise, the jacket is perfect in every way. You can see from the pictures that it's soft, quality leather.</p> <p>ETA -- oxfords are amazing! No question about those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket#post-860108 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 06:38:37 +0000 christieanne 860108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the color on you. If you love the jacket, keep. The shoes are so cool ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket#post-860102 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 06:30:25 +0000 Lyn D. 860102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, it is your personality made into a lovely leather jacket!<br /> Not a colour I would normally enjoy, but it seems to 'go' with everything in these photos.<br /> Wearing it you would never go unnoticed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-yellow-leather-jacket#post-860101 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 06:27:44 +0000 Deborah 860101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the oxfords. I wasn't sure in the original thread but they look very fab. Im not sure about the jacket. It's the kind of thing that I would get excited about and then tire of very quickly. It reads very much to me as a casual piece and I feel I have seen you in jackets that are much more flattering in their design/cut. I don't mean to be negative but I want to like it more than I do. </p>
