The vote is unanimous! How can I do anything but take the tags off and wear this baby:). I was tired last might when I photographed and posted this and I was really in two minds about it but I think you are all correct that it is different enough and will probably be quite a work horse. I also bought a metallic grey open weave sweater I was going to show you but in the cold light of day I can see the colour is not the best so that one's going back. I really appreciate your feedback...thank you xxx Caro in Oz on "New Jacket : Keep or Return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-keep-or-return-1#post-763158 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 21:43:35 +0000 Caro in Oz 763158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ KEEP! Sorry for shouting it was more a squeal really. The length, the stretch fabric & the lapel are all more modern imo.

I love the dark zips too- perfect for pairing with black.

I think you'll find that you reach for it a lot because of the comfortable ponte knit, but it still looks very polished, and I love the zipper detail. Please keep! catgirl on "New Jacket : Keep or Return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-keep-or-return-1#post-762868 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 16:50:06 +0000 catgirl 762868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like it and it looks very on trend.

You look great in the new one as well as the old one but it fills a slightly different role, and I'm sure it will become a workhorse for you. Jem on "New Jacket : Keep or Return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-keep-or-return-1#post-762851 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 16:15:59 +0000 Jem 762851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the new one, too. If you are like me, you will wear the ponte one more because it will be more comfortable. They look different anyway, because your older one is longer. They will each work with different outfits because of the different length. unfrumped on "New Jacket : Keep or Return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-keep-or-return-1#post-762844 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 16:06:29 +0000 unfrumped 762844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Super jacket! Being the same color is not really the issue as long as you do use that color in your wardrobe. The cut and fit difference gives a very different vibe and takes you in a different (I think great) direction. You will find you can wear this one with pants and skirts/dresses that would not have worked with the more boxy one. I recently bought a fitted gray knit Cremieux jacket that seems to be having the effect of opening up new style doors for me--I think this will do the same for you.

I love the style and it sounds so comfortable, I want one! Quite different than your other, more corporate, jacket.

It goes so well with your black and white and reminds me of Angie's recent post on how to wear black. You can add your cobalt booties too. biscuitsmom on "New Jacket : Keep or Return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-keep-or-return-1#post-762771 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 14:32:11 +0000 biscuitsmom 762771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think its a great addition for you! Its different enough from your first to earn its place Looks really sharp!

The first jacket is streamlines, polished yet casual, I also like the zipper detail. But there is something about those herringbone stripes that grabs me I say keep them both. You look absolutely dashing in #4.

It has an updated modern fun feel. The other as you mention is very much work oriented. I hope you keep it!

Suz on "New Jacket : Keep or Return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-keep-or-return-1#post-762700 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 12:52:58 +0000 Suz 762700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You can add this with confidence. I recently purchased a very similar jacket to 1-3 in fuchsia. Mine was a very inexpensive piece from H&M, but the style is almost identical - knit fabric, a bit cropped, with zipper detail pockets. That jacket has been an absolute workhorse in my travel capsule. It is PERFECT for travel because it doesn't wrinkle, stretches a bit so feels comfortable at all times, and can be dressy or more casual as the occasion demands. I would keep this for sure. I also think the light grey is a lovely transitional colour that works well in both spring and autumn/ winter.

Ponte knit tends to be more comfortable as well, so great for work when you don't have a presentation. However, it does not really fill any wardrobe holes. But you may not have holes, and if you wear the current jacket a lot this boarders on duplication. If your closet and budget can fit both, I vote keep. A.Kiernan on "New Jacket : Keep or Return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-keep-or-return-1#post-762682 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 12:21:13 +0000 A.Kiernan 762682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They are very similar, but I think the shortened hemline of the new jacket flatters your shape better. You always look amazing and well put together! kac on "New Jacket : Keep or Return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-keep-or-return-1#post-762674 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 12:05:19 +0000 kac 762674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love your new grey blazer...I think its really important to have updated classics to keep looking current.

I have been wanting to add a little more grey to my wardrobe and have done so to my work capsule but not so much to my casual capsule. I was thinking this jacket might be a step toward developing that aspect in my non work wear:). Atlantia on "New Jacket : Keep or Return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-keep-or-return-1#post-762650 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 11:22:32 +0000 Atlantia 762650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It won't add a lot of change to your work wardrobe, but that will be a huge workhorse in your closet. It looks very sharp and modern, and has a lot of possibilities. KEEP! cheryle (Dianthus) on "New Jacket : Keep or Return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-keep-or-return-1#post-762648 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 11:18:49 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 762648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like the new one. It is a few inches shorter and the collar lays flatter. I'm not sure about it adding a new dimension to your wardrobe but it definitely fits you very well and looks great. Karie on "New Jacket : Keep or Return" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-jacket-keep-or-return-1#post-762643 Thu, 01 Nov 2012 10:57:39 +0000 Karie 762643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ They are very similar, but I think the new one looks more updated/modern.
