I am glad you went back and tried it. I just had a feeling... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr/page/2#post-780244 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 22:24:33 +0000 Queen Mum 780244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>okay, went back, tried on and bought the medium. I don't have time to post pics... have to get going on the pies, but I think we are all going to agree the fit is better. And, I was able to zip it over a thin sweater. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr/page/2#post-780156 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 19:40:11 +0000 catgirl 780156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My Theory blazer, which I initally feared was a bit tight in the shoulders and upper arms, has also relaxed, and it is lined. It's a thinner leather, but I still think stretching should be considered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr#post-780146 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 19:31:05 +0000 Transcona Shannon 780146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely adore the colour on you Kim but agree that the smaller size might be a bit better. As the leather relaxes, this one may become a bit large on you. My black leather blazer barely does up but as I'm not planning on wearing it zipped, that's fine. And I'm glad I got that size because it is relaxing with each wearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr#post-780106 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 18:37:40 +0000 Queen Mum 780106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ok, I'm going to see if the medium is still there. I think there was only one M when I was there. Thanks everyone for mulling this over with me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr#post-780070 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 18:09:53 +0000 Emily 780070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the style and color, but it looks too big to me.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr#post-780053 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 17:51:31 +0000 rae 780053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Without looking at the other comments, I think the shoulders are looking a bit overwhelming on your frame. I know this jacket, and many have the same issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr#post-780049 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 17:49:41 +0000 kkards 780049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the color and the jacket.<br /> i think the fit is hard to tell from the picture. did the medium pull across the back? where you able to cross your arms in the front? if it was pulling or tight in the back, then i would go with the larger size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr#post-780032 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 17:24:49 +0000 catgirl 780032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please try the medium - I've "known" you a while and think this is just a little too big on you! I just got the orange leather jacket from Nordstrom in a S and I can't zip it, but really I will never zip a leather moto. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr#post-779910 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 14:20:50 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 779910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was told the same thing. In fact, the red one I am considering fit me well in the medium but the small looked better even though I could barely zip it up. The sales person was wearing the same jacket and she couldn't zip it at all but it looked great. I have a thing for only buying jackets that comfortable close but almost never wear them that way so am not sure if this is one of my "rules" that should be relaxed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr#post-779909 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 14:18:29 +0000 Queen Mum 779909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz- even with the lining the leather stretches? Hmmm... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr#post-779891 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 13:57:31 +0000 Suz 779891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kim, when I was trying on leather, the SA assured me that even if it only fits with a thin layer at first, it will soften and stretch until you can wear a sweater. I was full of doubt, but one SA told me she had bought a jacket in one size only to have to have it resized smaller!! I wondered if these jackets were not just *too* tight (would it stretch so much if strain were not put on it?) but I honestly have no idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr#post-779887 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 13:45:24 +0000 Queen Mum 779887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the great input.<br /> I have to go to the mall today, so I'll see if the medium is still there to try on and snap a pic. The problem was, it wouldn't have accommodated a sweater underneath like I'm wearing in the pictures. It would have only worked over a single thin layer. I don't want to be limited like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr#post-779870 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 12:21:48 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 779870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope you decided to keep it. I have been drooling and stalking a red leather jacket for a month and it looks quite a bit like yours. The color is great on you. I can see it over a pair of black slim pants and a plain t with boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr#post-779855 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 09:59:04 +0000 lyn67 779855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Kim! Can we see the size M, too? I like the jacket very much, fab color, but a bit big on your frame, and if you're not closing it at all(as didn't do in any of your picties posted!!) why wouldn't you buy the smaller one, if that fits (maybe) better? Anyway pls. keep one for sure, great find!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr#post-779683 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 01:10:52 +0000 Suz 779683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous, Kim! I hope you will keep it. It does have a strong shoulder line, but that's what moto jackets are like. And it will soften up further with time. My only hesitation is that it may indeed stretch in which case maybe this size would end up being too large. But if it feels good and the price is right, this looks like a smart experiment in a new style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr#post-779652 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 00:50:19 +0000 Thistle 779652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you.</p> <p>Yes, it is a bold statement. A red leather moto. But you wear it well. The color is smashing on you.</p> <p>It does have a bit of a strong shoulder line, but it is a moto jacket. I think it should. A soft shoulder line is meant for a different kind of jacket IMO.</p> <p>While it is outside your style norm, I think it looks great. Question is will you wear it enough if it is outside your style? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr#post-779646 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 00:46:46 +0000 Deborah 779646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kim that jacket is stunning but I would be keen see what the medium looked like on you. This doesn't swamp you at all, however it looks biggish in the shoulder area. I can see that the should fit but there is a 'heavy ness' to the shoulders that I am not sure about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr#post-779630 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 00:34:03 +0000 Anonymous 779630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a rhetorical question, right? I love this on you Kim! It's a lovely dark leather, and you have it styled to perfection. I like the emphasis it adds to your shoulders. The knee high boots balance it out really well. KEEP! (I think you're due for a fun statement piece) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr#post-779615 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 23:51:41 +0000 Anonymous 779615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks really good on you and the color is fantastic for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr#post-779581 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 23:16:56 +0000 missvee 779581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colour, but it does have a very strong shoulder line.

The only stiff parts are the quilted areas and the shoulders given the extra seaming. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr#post-779507 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 22:04:24 +0000 catgirl 779507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color is gorgeous - I am drooling! The shoulders look a little boxy to me... that could just be the pictures. It is a very strong statement considering what I think of as your style - but maybe this is a new style direction? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr#post-779501 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 21:55:54 +0000 citygirldc 779501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks a little heavy on you. Is the leather pretty dense/thick or is it a soft leather? I do love the color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr#post-779491 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 21:40:32 +0000 Caro in Oz 779491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colour &amp; shape on you &amp; it looks good from what I can see - I like to be sure the shoulders fit well in jackets &amp; I can't see for sure as the jacket is open. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-input-on-this-jacket-kr#post-779468 Tue, 20 Nov 2012 21:08:42 +0000 Anonymous 779468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a beautiful shade of red on you!
