Your shopping brakes continue to inspire me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-angie-pick-sam-edelman-military-jacket#post-988832 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 01:34:27 +0000 K. Period. 988832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad to hear that I wasn't alone on this! I ordered it to, had it on for 30 seconds and back it is going. &nbsp;Too scratchy. &nbsp;And that is saying a lot because I am NOT sensitive to wool at all. &nbsp;I adore it and wear it a lot. I couldn't envision wearing the jacket without a scarf though, it was that scratchy. &nbsp;Such a bummer!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-angie-pick-sam-edelman-military-jacket#post-988790 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 00:28:03 +0000 Lisa 988790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shedev-Yes, wool is a funny material.&nbsp; In larger doses it's too itchy for me.</p> <p>Cciele and Rachylou-I'm sad this one did not work out, but on to more fab things.</p> <p>Zapotee-It stinks when the fabric is what causes an otherwise "perfect item" to go back.</p> <p>Angie-I have a few more boxes to come from NAS so onward I go.</p> <p>Caro-I wish this one worked out, but on to more fab things. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-angie-pick-sam-edelman-military-jacket#post-988745 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 23:23:41 +0000 Caro in Oz 988745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Darn it looks so good </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-angie-pick-sam-edelman-military-jacket#post-988672 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 21:27:13 +0000 Angie 988672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks KILLER, Lisa! But I <b><i>so</i></b> get the annoying itchy wool factor. It did not come up at all when I fitted this jacket onto clients, so I didn't think of it. Had I popped it on myself, I'd be climbing the walls and would have been able to warn you. </p> <p>Onto the next fab military jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-angie-pick-sam-edelman-military-jacket#post-988581 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 18:46:03 +0000 Anonymous 988581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good call on returning, in spite of it being amazing on you. I am unable to tolerate wool unless it is a on a very heavy blend with cotton or Lorna Piana. Thanks for the review. I was actually looking at it.<br /> Modgrl &amp; Sarah: Yep, same issue with the dotty sweater here. Sadly, the sweater seems to be itchy for the super sensitive, like me. Mine is likely to go back. I ordered another one in a bigger size to see if can tolerate it when it's not snug at all. If not, they will be returned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-angie-pick-sam-edelman-military-jacket#post-988557 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 18:13:10 +0000 rachylou 988557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bummer!

I love the structure of that coat. But sorry to hear about the wool itchies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-angie-pick-sam-edelman-military-jacket#post-988431 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 15:53:05 +0000 shedev 988431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad about the wool content. I have the same problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-angie-pick-sam-edelman-military-jacket#post-988404 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 15:26:20 +0000 Lisa 988404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ceit-I hope the jacket works out, it really is a lovely piece!</p> <p>Suz-This jacket is heavier in weight and I would sport it as outerwear on a cool fall day, but it would not take the place of a heavy winter coat once winter really hits our area.&nbsp; Then&nbsp;I would sport this indoors with a long sleeve t-shirt underneath.&nbsp; I do run on team cold though.</p> <p>Modgrl-It has been difficult taking photos in winter items, I'm melting in them!</p> <p>Transcona Shannon-Yeah, I can usually do wool but not when it's the bulk of the material, it has to be a blend for me.</p> <p>MNsara-The Halogen dot sweater was much softer and less scratchy on me.&nbsp; I think it has some cashmere in it instead of just wool and polyester as the jacket does.</p> <p>Thistle-Yeah, it really is a lovely jacket!</p> <p>Ceit-Let us know how the jacket works for you!</p> <p>Rae-It stinks when an item actually fits and overall works except for the material. On to more fab things! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-angie-pick-sam-edelman-military-jacket#post-988375 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 14:46:44 +0000 rae 988375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, too bad!

But I hear you - I can't wear anything with a high wool content. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-angie-pick-sam-edelman-military-jacket#post-988289 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 13:16:17 +0000 modgrl 988289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting! It is a gorgeous jacket! <br />I know what you mean about the wool. I am debating the NAS dotty sweater. It is soft but I am still itchy... perhaps it has to do with trying it on in 100 degree heat!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-angie-pick-sam-edelman-military-jacket#post-988287 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 13:14:11 +0000 Suz 988287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's terrific-looking. It looks good on you, Lisa, and I think it will really suit your style, Ceit. Is it for indoor or outdoor use, would you say, Lisa? Too bad it is too scratchy for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-angie-pick-sam-edelman-military-jacket#post-988266 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 12:23:26 +0000 Anonymous 988266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this, and am seriously considering getting it.

I took my usual size.</p> <p>Thanks for looking! </p>
