You could always have the side pockets sewn closed - I don't know about you, but I really don't use the pockets in my trench/wool coats; when it's really chilly outside I wear gloves, and the pockets in those coats are usually too small to be very practical for warmth. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matrix-jacket-shorten-or-give-awayconsign#post-606103 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 00:21:32 +0000 cciele 606103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely keep and shorten a bit (but I like the long swooshy effect).</p> <p>Funny Kona! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matrix-jacket-shorten-or-give-awayconsign#post-606087 Sat, 28 Apr 2012 00:01:12 +0000 Kristin L 606087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say shorten it and keep it. It looks pretty good now and will look great once you take it up a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matrix-jacket-shorten-or-give-awayconsign#post-606083 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 23:57:31 +0000 christieanne 606083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shorten! </p> <p>Kona is such a beauty - I am disillusioned to know she too has clutzy moments </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matrix-jacket-shorten-or-give-awayconsign#post-606079 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 23:54:21 +0000 catgirl 606079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know, ridiculous!

I thought she was being stomped by a moose, so I ran out in a panic, only to find her wedged under the fence (trying to escape through a hole she'd secretly dug), upsidedown and kicking like a bug, and a flowerpot had fallen on her head. I wanted to take a picture but instead I hauled her out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matrix-jacket-shorten-or-give-awayconsign#post-606060 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 23:31:52 +0000 Anonymous 606060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shorten and keep coat from kind IK. </p> <p>Send me Kona.</p> <p>K, thanx. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matrix-jacket-shorten-or-give-awayconsign#post-606056 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 23:28:47 +0000 Deborah 606056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shorten it to the length Angie recommends and it will be amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matrix-jacket-shorten-or-give-awayconsign#post-606053 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 23:27:26 +0000 JennyAnne 606053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you don't like it as long as it is, try to shorten it, but I still think it looks great as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matrix-jacket-shorten-or-give-awayconsign#post-606051 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 23:23:25 +0000 Parsley 606051@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say keep and shorten, although I think it's very cool long, too.<br /> But I can understand that you'd be much more likely to actually wear it if it were shorter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matrix-jacket-shorten-or-give-awayconsign#post-606044 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 23:11:31 +0000 rae 606044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Diana... still like it long (more space-cowboy-ish duster-looking that way), but if you must shorten it to the knee, that is FAR better than letting it out of your grasp! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matrix-jacket-shorten-or-give-awayconsign#post-606020 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 22:40:45 +0000 Jonesy 606020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely, 100% shorten it and wear it, baby! To the knee sounds perfect, and I don't think it's that complex of a tailoring job. Expand your coat capsule with something fab, unique, and totally you :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matrix-jacket-shorten-or-give-awayconsign#post-605920 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 20:14:06 +0000 ironkurtin 605920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shorten it! It's only a coat. Chop it up, girl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matrix-jacket-shorten-or-give-awayconsign#post-605911 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 19:58:57 +0000 catgirl 605911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I would wear it! It's so uber-cool and futuristic looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matrix-jacket-shorten-or-give-awayconsign#post-605908 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 19:57:00 +0000 ironkurtin 605908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd shorten it to the knee, like Angie suggested - I put my hand over the picture to get a sense, and I think it'd be fab!</p> <p>However, really, the issue is if you'd wear it even if it were shorter. If no, eh, don't bother. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matrix-jacket-shorten-or-give-awayconsign#post-605899 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 19:40:06 +0000 catgirl 605899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IK, just so you know, I'm not planning to shorten A LOT, just enough to make it wearable for stubby me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matrix-jacket-shorten-or-give-awayconsign#post-605898 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 19:37:18 +0000 ironkurtin 605898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shorten. It shouldn't be expensive and is a noble experiment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matrix-jacket-shorten-or-give-awayconsign#post-605885 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 19:16:43 +0000 Meredith1953 605885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think shortening it is probably the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matrix-jacket-shorten-or-give-awayconsign#post-605882 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 19:15:05 +0000 Transcona Shannon 605882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd get a price from your tailor for the cost of shortening and then make a decision. It fits you beautifully otherwise and would work with your style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matrix-jacket-shorten-or-give-awayconsign#post-605868 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 19:04:43 +0000 Diana 605868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it long but realize that it's not very practical that way, so I vote keep and shorten. Can you pin the hem up and show it to us? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matrix-jacket-shorten-or-give-awayconsign#post-605866 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 19:02:37 +0000 K. Period. 605866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shorten. IK wanted it to go to you for you to enjoy because you are so awesome. It looks fabulous, other than being so long. Claim it and enjoy it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matrix-jacket-shorten-or-give-awayconsign#post-605860 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 18:55:58 +0000 kellygirl 605860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit looks impeccable. That alone makes me think you should shorten and keep. I love the drama of it long but am not sure how practical it would be--I can barely keep my short trench from getting caught in car doors--of course, that could just be me ;P I'd take it to the tailor and see about cost. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/matrix-jacket-shorten-or-give-awayconsign#post-605859 Fri, 27 Apr 2012 18:55:07 +0000 Anonymous 605859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Send. to. me.

I'll try styling it as is and get some feedback, but if it doesn't work, would you shorten it as Angie suggested or leave it intact for a tall thin model to score?</p> <p>Yay: shorten<br /> Nay: leave this beauty alone </p>
