What a good decision you have made there, finally having this fantastic little number's sleeves adjusted to you. The price you mention for it - 60-70$ - sounds exactly right. 25$ would seem a little low, because it is a big job. Kudos for doing it! Leggings/pants don't look too tight at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-i-have-a-great-tailor#post-1898887 Thu, 15 Mar 2018 17:28:16 +0000 Zibbets 1898887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

I held them up against the first pair and there is not a discernible difference, but I could really feel it. &nbsp;Still, it's my new favorite brand! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-i-have-a-great-tailor#post-1851131 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 12:13:07 +0000 RobinF 1851131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the whole outfit but it's hard for me to see past the jacket - gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-i-have-a-great-tailor#post-1851129 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 12:03:39 +0000 Janet 1851129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How lucky to have such a great tailor!

Love it. You look amazing! You'll wear the heck out of this one for years, no doubt. The color is beautiful on you.</p> <p>Though it's sold out in most sizes now, and not offered in petites anyway, could you settle my curiosity and tell me how tall you are?</p> <p>This hits close to a HEWI for me but I'm 5'0 tall so most leather jackets in regular sizing, when sized to fit my bust and waist and shoulders, require way more than sleeve shortening to fit me. But I ask anyway for future reference...&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-i-have-a-great-tailor#post-1851025 Fri, 06 Oct 2017 00:35:54 +0000 mtnsofthemoon 1851025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is beautiful.

I wish I could share your tailor. The jacket looks fab on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-i-have-a-great-tailor#post-1851005 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 22:18:27 +0000 karen13 1851005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG gorgeous! So worth it! And I don't think the skinnies look small (and I'm pretty critical - I won't even wear them). They would be saggy in the rear end if you size up a full size. I just did a big online Wit&amp;Wisdom ordered found a lot of variation in the same sizes, so some of it is luck of the draw.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-i-have-a-great-tailor#post-1851003 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 22:13:58 +0000 Anonymous 1851003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! Looks fabulous. The sleeves look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-i-have-a-great-tailor#post-1850996 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 21:56:33 +0000 Laurie 1850996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this beautiful leather jacket on a final sale last spring at less than half price. J Crew was nice and let me try 2 sizes, and send one back. &nbsp;But the sleeves, as usual, were too long. &nbsp; I researched how to shorten sleeves with a zipper, so I knew is was <i>possible. &nbsp; &nbsp;</i>My adorable little tailor, who sounds like Dr. Ruth and tells me like it is ("yes, they make your butt look big...") gave me the evil eye, but agreed to do it. &nbsp; I just picked it up today, so not styled at all, but wanted to show you guys. These jackets run small, I sized up to a 6 on it. &nbsp;The leather is thick, and I think it will give and form to my body with wear.</p> <p>Also wearing new Wit &amp; Wisdom stretch skinnies in Brindle Olive. &nbsp;I wish I'd sized up, looking at my pics. &nbsp;I have another pair, this size(4) , that are just a tad looser. &nbsp; Oh well, long sweaters soon to be worn. &nbsp;And they're still super comfortable.</p> <p>I've had the J.Crew CeCe ballet flats for a few years, and rarely wore them, but now am mostly in flats these days. I appreciate the hidden heel lift so I don't feel like my heels are lower than my toes.</p> <p>Not sure why the photos aren't appearing for my finds. I'll try to fix it later, but the links are there. </p>
