Suz and you need to win the Danier giveaway so that we can be jacket triples asap:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-topic-of-white-leather-jacket-again#post-838554 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 06:29:16 +0000 Charmian 838554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everything everybody else said about the collar and the zipper placement -- plus a better shoulder fit. Can I join the list of enablers? :)</p> <p>( I'm an IT and my eyes go there first ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-topic-of-white-leather-jacket-again#post-838458 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 02:15:17 +0000 Thistle 838458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I echo the others. I like the zipper placement a lot as well as the lower collar. Also, the second one is more fitted, I thnk.</p> <p>I hope you are able to stalk and hunt one down for yourself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-topic-of-white-leather-jacket-again#post-838303 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 21:15:03 +0000 Kim 838303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that will be hard, watching it get sent off to Inge, how will you do it?? ...LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-topic-of-white-leather-jacket-again#post-838296 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 21:04:02 +0000 Sveta 838296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just brought it home - for Inge of course - but I am in love... Going to watch sale like a hawk! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-topic-of-white-leather-jacket-again#post-838289 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 20:44:34 +0000 catgirl 838289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the second one! What a difference in small details - the fit is just better proportioned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-topic-of-white-leather-jacket-again#post-838281 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 20:25:09 +0000 Sarah A 838281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Kim, i think the pocket zippers are a key difference as well. They accentuate a narrow waist, and the jacket nips here more as well. The lower collar and slightly shorted length round out a great adjustment and reissue! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-topic-of-white-leather-jacket-again#post-838252 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 19:28:41 +0000 Kim 838252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As with the others I think 2 is fabber(?) LOL </p> <p>One of the reasons I like it is because the zippers on the pockets hit you right at the smallest part of your waist and really define it. The first one doesn't have that eye-catching feature.</p> <p>Stalking it for the sales now are you &amp; Suz? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-topic-of-white-leather-jacket-again#post-838140 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 16:46:34 +0000 Suz 838140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, Denise, we can enable that if you wish!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-topic-of-white-leather-jacket-again#post-838097 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 15:06:34 +0000 CocoLion 838097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second one is a little shorter and the sleeves are not as big. It looks like an overall smaller fit, which is more flattering on you. It's a killer jacket. I want one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-topic-of-white-leather-jacket-again#post-838061 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 14:26:02 +0000 Transcona Shannon 838061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the second one has a better fit overall - the collar is a smidgeon lower, the shoulders a tiny bit better, the sleeves a bit more fitted and it almost looks like the hemline is a wee bit shorter and the waist a bit more nipped in. But it's the collar that makes the biggest difference IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-topic-of-white-leather-jacket-again#post-838060 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 14:25:16 +0000 Angie 838060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved the first one and was a great spanner from the start. I love the second one even more! KILLER. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-topic-of-white-leather-jacket-again#post-838023 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 13:36:46 +0000 Jaime 838023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just want to agree the second one is fab and much better than the first. To simplify, it just fits you better for the reasons given above. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-topic-of-white-leather-jacket-again#post-837940 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 06:17:51 +0000 Jenava 837940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in both jackets, but I think maybe the zipped pocket on #2 is bring a nice accent to your waistline. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-topic-of-white-leather-jacket-again#post-837907 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 05:37:25 +0000 DonnaF 837907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The slightly lower collar and the shorter body length somehow make the newer jacket feel more modern to me and more flattering on you. It seems to be cut slightly differently in the waist and hips. Amazing what subtle changes can do! But I guess we find that as we try on various makes and models of basics such as jeans, white shirts, turtlenecks, etc. right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-topic-of-white-leather-jacket-again#post-837904 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 05:32:52 +0000 MNsara 837904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You two :-)</p> <p>I wonder if the newer iteration is also a little bit shorter. . . It seems to hit you at a great spot, whereas the older one looked a tad long in the torso. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-topic-of-white-leather-jacket-again#post-837881 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 04:40:45 +0000 Sveta 837881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, isn't it fun that we analyzing this beauty to death instead of buying it now? :-)<br /> I guess it gives us some satisfaction... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-topic-of-white-leather-jacket-again#post-837875 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 04:34:20 +0000 Suz 837875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me, too. They are especially useful to me because I could potentially get away without shortening the sleeve by simply turning back like a French cuff. But they said they could also shorten the sleeve for me if I wish.</p> <p>ETA also wanted to say that the newer jacket seems to fit better in the shoulder area on you and it also seems as if the sleeves are more nicely fitted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-topic-of-white-leather-jacket-again#post-837873 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 04:31:41 +0000 Sveta 837873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adelfa, that was my impression too.<br /> Suz, I think you are right on all these points - and also zippers on sleeves. I just love them much better than tabs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-topic-of-white-leather-jacket-again#post-837869 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 04:28:20 +0000 Suz 837869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sveta, I remembered this and wondered about it, too, because I recalled that the collars were quite similar. It seems to be a case of them reissuing almost the same jacket with just slight differences. And I believe you are right - the collar placement is just fractionally different in the new jacket. And that tiny change makes it sit in a better place. </p> <p>I always worry about that kind of neckline on a jacket but was surprise to find that I quite liked it when I tried it on. I did worry that it might fight with some types of shirt/ sweater and was pleased to see you model it with a turtleneck. I tried it with a button down (low contrast) and it seemed fine. I wasn't sure how it would look with a higher contrast button down, but possibly okay (based on your T-neck experiment). It would be good with a lower neckline, too, of course. </p> <p>I also found that it was possible to fold the collar down in back and make a faux-lapel in front. I did this, just trying it out, and the sales associate says that you can "train" the leather to lay that way if you want to wear it more blazer-like. </p> <p>The cut on these two looks almost identical. But did the first jacket have the shoulder and back seaming that the second has? I also think the addition of those zippered pockets lends the jacket something extra. They seemed to echo the collar's horizontal lines and that appealed to me somehow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-topic-of-white-leather-jacket-again#post-837864 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 04:22:33 +0000 Adelfa 837864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second one seems to fit you better all over, too. Love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-topic-of-white-leather-jacket-again#post-837858 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 04:13:02 +0000 Sveta 837858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remembered that I have already tried another white Danier jacket before and it was no go (pic 1). I am just curious to compare it with this new one and see what is the difference.<br /> I think it is the collar. On the first jacket (o the left) it is too high and tight, not comfortable to close and therefore not functional and because of this look odd.<br /> On a new jacket (on the right) it is positioned lower, does not suffocate and lays flat.<br /> What do you think - why the jacket on the left was 'meh' and on the right 'fab'? </p>
