Una, did you end up keeping that leather jacket that could be cropped by unzipping it, or did you return it (I can't remember, but I'm suddenly curious...)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lust-is-the-operative-word-here#post-460832 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 02:10:09 +0000 catgirl 460832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy, I can totally see you in one of these jackets. They have a grunge vibe but also a very tailored military vibe that I think appeals to those of us who like our style with some inherent tension... I am going to start stalking them on e-bay!</p> <p>:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lust-is-the-operative-word-here#post-460831 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 02:10:07 +0000 Anonymous 460831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe you could sell shares of it and we could pass it around.

I was at the Rack in Chicago, and I held/stared at this deep red and black plaid Burberry Brit jacket for many long minutes (marked down to $499! With an awesome horizontal zipper so you could make it cropped just like that leather jacket you got!), but then I had to come to my senses and step away. But, so beautiful...I guess I'm just a grunge type at heart--I just love plaid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lust-is-the-operative-word-here#post-460821 Mon, 07 Nov 2011 02:04:32 +0000 catgirl 460821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mary, is this the same brand?
