I had one in my teens and recently found another, so they happen more than once. You have a great selection here, #4 look very promising. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket/page/2#post-2053319 Thu, 15 Aug 2019 19:57:23 +0000 anchie 2053319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - you are so right! There is no rule to say I can’t have more than one, but I was happy with only one for so long, that I never even considered getting another. It worked probably because it was blue. </p> <p>Here is the selection of jackets that I ordered. #4 is closest to what I am looking for in color. #2 is best shape, has 5 buttons like mine, and it is also Diesel, but it is probably too dark. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket/page/2#post-2053293 Thu, 15 Aug 2019 18:52:35 +0000 Angie 2053293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should get blue and not white if you're doing ONE denim jacket.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket/page/2#post-2053264 Thu, 15 Aug 2019 16:52:31 +0000 Anonymous 2053264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your poor little jacket! I like that white one, hope you ordered it.<br /> I lost a jean jacket years ago and haven't found one I liked as much. It was more of a blazer cut with rhinestone buttons-dressy enough to wear daily </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket/page/2#post-2053237 Thu, 15 Aug 2019 14:28:48 +0000 Anonymous 2053237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I try to avoid "replacement" because of its high failure rate. Maybe you could think of this as an opportunity to try something different? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket/page/2#post-2053235 Thu, 15 Aug 2019 14:22:50 +0000 anchie 2053235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just ordered bunch of jackets. Non of them seem as perfect as my old one, but I may change my mind when I see them on. Let’s hope one of them works.<br /> Mine was from Diesel - that is all I know. Don’t know model or even a size unfortunately, so that makes searching for it difficult. And since it is decade old doubt that it is still available anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket/page/2#post-2053212 Thu, 15 Aug 2019 13:02:02 +0000 lyn67 2053212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel your lost of a beloved item!&nbsp;&nbsp;I sometimes&nbsp; wish the same, for all my wardrobe pets to be so perfect that I never need to upgrade them- and just wanting to keep forever-no change- no problem!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2053205 Thu, 15 Aug 2019 12:52:03 +0000 Bennett 2053205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If that ruffle on the collar is a stitched-on addition, you could just cut it off real close or have a tailor remove it. Or keep looking, there are SO many variations on jean jackets available.&nbsp;</p> <p>I&nbsp;<i>do</i> understand your loss - I dropped one of my daily wear stud earrings IN MY OWN BATHROOM and have searched every day on my hands and knees for it.... where could it hide?????? I heard it hit the tile, then it just vanished apparently. To wherever your denim jacket is? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2053183 Thu, 15 Aug 2019 11:01:10 +0000 Kathie 2053183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! This is really too bad. I can commiserate- I’ve lost a favorite earring, and once, got distracted while packing, and managed to leave behind a favorite bra and two sweaters. </p> <p>I’d keep looking for a jacket, if you’re not sure about the collar detail on this one. Perhaps with cooler temperatures approaching, there will be a few more options at retail. And, agreeing with everyone who has suggested you could use white and blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2053149 Thu, 15 Aug 2019 03:09:09 +0000 Gigi 2053149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you aren't in love with the detail on the collar, I would pass and look for something more traditional. I know that something like that would probably bug me over time if it weren't 100% my style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2053132 Thu, 15 Aug 2019 01:02:17 +0000 pil 2053132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did the same thing at the Miami airport a few years back. It was gone by the time I went back. A forum member here was nice enough to send me one she no longer used! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2053103 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 21:00:42 +0000 JAileen 2053103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why can’t you have a white one and a blue one? I actually have three - white, blue and pale pink. My blue one was thrifted. I probably paid $5 for it.</p> <p>I love the picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2053057 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 17:15:54 +0000 anchie 2053057@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I have to accept the fact that jacket is gone and that will not turn up. It is not with other family members either.<br /> I have started looking for replacement. I am looking for classic denim jacket that can be thrown over just about anything. I wore mine over loungewear to take out the trash, over a dress for work and everything in between. It traveled with me and went to movies with me. First when I started the search it seemed like there will be lots of choices. But. They are all wrong. Too cropped, too long, too boxy, too distressed, wrong color, wrong hardware, wrong details. I am still torn between medium blue like my old one, or white that would be a change but I think that would work too. Even light blue would be ok, just don’t want anything too dark since for me it is spring summer topper to wear in AC or on cooler nights. Closest to what I am looking for is this white one in pictures except for this detail on the collar - what do you think about it? It definitely is not classic and I am afraid it will date easily.</p> <p>ETA - old jacket in action on a hike in Italy few years ago. Funny thing, earrings in the picture where also my favorite and I lost them on that trip. Hope it is not becoming a tradition. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2053020 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 14:18:20 +0000 Janet 2053020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The good thing about this is that there are lots of good denim jackets out there! I hope that if you can’t find the original, you get a replacement that’s even better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2053017 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 14:09:11 +0000 Kyle 2053017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The exact same thing happened to me! Left my beloved and well worn jean jacket in Mexico. Just picked up a replacement at Old Navy, actually, as I am leaving on another trip this weekend and it’s an essential travel piece. We’ll see if it measures up. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2052927 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 03:45:16 +0000 Gigi 2052927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, I would be distraught to lose something that has worked so well!</p> <p>I lost a beloved cream beret when out shopping last winter at the mall. It was from Anthro. I loved it because it was smaller than most berets (I have a smaller head and find most hats too big), and it was made from poly (wool was giving me pimples on my forehead; almost all berets have some wool). I called the stores where I had been, and no one had turned it in. The mall lost and found had nothing. So I'm sure someone happened upon it and was excited to have found a new hat for themselves. Every now and then I search online to see if someone is selling one, because I miss it that much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2052924 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 03:36:31 +0000 Jaime 2052924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that is a bummer! On the one hand you could search Ebay and the like for an exact replacement, but I kind of like the idea of going in a different direction with perhaps a workwear style jacket like Angie's pink one (but in denim). Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2052905 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 01:38:01 +0000 Suz 2052905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no!! That is so upsetting. Such a frustrating end to a trip. I hope it turns up, and if not, absolutely replace ASAP!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2052902 Wed, 14 Aug 2019 01:30:58 +0000 christy 2052902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, no...I’m so sorry! Fingers crossed that it turns up. I like the idea of finding a white replacement for the time being. I’ve found that I wear my white more often than my denim one. Maybe it will be a new workhorse for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2052884 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 23:13:54 +0000 Angie 2052884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bummer. Such a shame. Perhaps wit will still turn up?</p> <p>I have a slew of denim jackets, because they are my thing. I have all sorts of washes and fits. It really depends what you want.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2052862 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 22:30:31 +0000 cindysmith 2052862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So sorry about the jacket. I totally understand the sense of loss when a long-time favorite garment goes missing (((hugs))) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2052819 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 21:00:25 +0000 anchie 2052819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for commiserating. I am just so mad at myself that I haven’t noticed that is missing when I was packing. And that I can’t remember when I even saw it last. I wore it only one rainy day in the middle of the trip, but can’t remember if I wore it to a dinner, when I took it off and where I left it. Argh!<br /> Problem is because it was my only such jacket and I wore it a lot, I can’t really wait for long for it to turn up, it is now real hole im my wardrobe. Especially now that nights are finally getting cooler. I am thinking maybe getting white one, in hopes that it will still miraculously show up, and in that case will not have a duplicate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2052807 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 20:36:42 +0000 JAileen 2052807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! I’ve done that and always wonder where it went. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2052805 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 20:33:44 +0000 karen13 2052805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bummer! Don’t give up hope. I lost my favorite cashmere sweater on a trip, and six months later I found it tucked in a rarely used luggage pocket. I know you checked, but keep looking! Of course the minute you replace! It will magically reappear. Crossing my fingers it will turn up soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2052803 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 20:21:08 +0000 Katerina 2052803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! You have my sympathy. I hope it will turn up. I don’t have a jeans jacket like that myself, but I can imagine how I would feel if I would loose a favourite old leather jacket. What a great family you have, so nice they all try to help in different ways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2052801 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 20:18:04 +0000 Jenn 2052801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no! My heart hurts for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2052795 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 20:04:23 +0000 Sal 2052795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know the feeling - it is annoying and sad!</p> <p>I would hold off a couple more weeks before adding one in case it turns up. I don’t know if I would go for something very similar or branch out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2052771 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 19:35:47 +0000 chouette22 2052771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I feel with you! I also have a jeans jacket that is absolute perfection and I have had it for many years. It ALWAYS travels with me because it is the absolute perfect topper then. I actually don't wear it much at home at all, because I have lots more choices then and I need to preserve the perfect one. I shudder at the thought of losing it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2052744 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 18:02:47 +0000 Cardiff girl 2052744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Much sympathy to you.It s gutting when something like this happens isn’t it,l will keep my fingers crossed that it turns up and yes,it is a wonderful thought isn’t it,a wardrobe full of pieces like this.l guess that’s the holy grail o f wardrobe building </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-perfect-jacket#post-2052741 Tue, 13 Aug 2019 17:54:18 +0000 anchie 2052741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did check all the luggage and laundry- no luck. No luck with my DH calling either. We traveled with some other family members and my last hope is that they packed it by mistake, trying to contact them, but they are still traveling and can’t check yet :(<br /> I just wish I have more items like this - so perfect that I never need to upgrade them, and want to keep forever. </p>
