I just noticed that too. Una, the green is very pretty - I think it would like great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald/page/2#post-536510 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:35:48 +0000 Transcona Shannon 536510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I can still get it in the store, I was just hoping to get it online instead 'cause of the discount. Thanks anyway! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald/page/2#post-536507 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:34:28 +0000 catgirl 536507@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, that's not a hijack! What size do you need? I can check at our store as I still have to stop by. I've ordered the petite.</p> <p>It stinks when that happens - it's certainly happened to me a few times online! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald/page/2#post-536451 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:33:25 +0000 Transcona Shannon 536451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry to hijack your thread here Una but you know what stinks? I just went to order the trench in green online - the Canadian version (it's cheaper on line right now and there's also a code for an additional 20% off) and it's now sold out in every size except XL!!!! In one day...seriously? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald/page/2#post-536448 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:31:38 +0000 MNsara 536448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a cute coat! I hope you and SHannon both get one. </p> <p>Una, I bet you'll have fun wearing this in the summer (as long as your under wardrobe can handle the green pretty well - no fun having a coat that requires you to preplan the under outfit!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald/page/2#post-536422 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:01:27 +0000 Sara L. 536422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Green is one of my favorite colors. I hope the trench works for you and I'm looking forward to seeing an outfit post with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald/page/2#post-536310 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:00:23 +0000 Jjsloane 536310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why did you show me this? I was almost tempted when someone (forget who) posted a fab blogger look with the brown version and I wanted it then although I know in my heart double breasted does not work for me. (blogger wore open) I'd love to see it on you Una. Go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald/page/2#post-536165 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 04:09:49 +0000 Anonymous 536165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For the record, I have 40" shoulders and ON coats always feel constricting if I don't size up (from my Gap size).</p> <p>*waving at Shannon* That was SO nice of you to try on for Una! Warms my heart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald#post-535801 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:39:26 +0000 LoP 535801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also saw this in store and was tempted to cheat on my beloved trenches with it. Then I came back to my senses about how many trench coats a girl can have and bought a trench vest instead. At least it doesn't have arms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald#post-535740 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 20:30:37 +0000 Transcona Shannon 535740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trust me Una - if I don't love something or don't think you should waste your money on something, I will tell you! I absolutely loved the trench! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald#post-535695 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:57:59 +0000 catgirl 535695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it looks fantastic on you and I was going to ask why you didn't get it, but thought maybe you secretly didn't love it or something and didn't want to say so. There's another color too, the tan, which actually looks nice - not SS beige. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald#post-535694 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:56:14 +0000 Transcona Shannon 535694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gotta admit - I might be going back for this one myself! Good luck - glad to help! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald#post-535692 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:54:54 +0000 catgirl 535692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, it looks great on you! I think I'll need a M because of my shoulders but I'm thinking I should order the petite for sleeve length. Thank you so much for doing me this favor, Shannon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald#post-535648 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 19:22:51 +0000 Transcona Shannon 535648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una - here's the green trench from ON. This is a medium and is definitely TTS. You're smaller than I am so may want to try both a small and a medium, if that's convenient. The arm I'm holding out shows the sleeve when belted. The cotton is a good weight and the double breasted front did not feel tight at all. I would say the shoulders are average - neither too tight nor too wide. For the price, I would say it's a good trench. </p> <p>Hope this helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald#post-535521 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:50:15 +0000 Sunita 535521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I might be too late to this thread, but I bought a similar trench from ON a couple years ago. It's a bright magenta and I love the color, BUT</p> <p>1. It doesn't look well-made (not cheap per se, but just not wow!)</p> <p>2. Mine doesn't have the tab sleeves, but the sleeve hems kept getting folded over in wierd ways, so I ended up having to stich them down to keep them from shifting.</p> <p>3. The belt isn't stiff enough, so if you tie it it gets horribly folded and creased.</p> <p>In hindsight, I probably should have bought a better-made trench even if it wasn't in a fun color. It was the color that sold me. I still use it, but rarely.</p> <p>Having said all that, given that you have rewards and it would be v. cheap you might still want to go for it.</p> <p>I *love* the green color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald#post-535461 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:05:45 +0000 Kristen 535461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have that same trench in bright red from the spring, and I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald#post-535426 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:46:38 +0000 Transcona Shannon 535426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will do - will post back after my "investigation"! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald#post-535423 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:45:42 +0000 catgirl 535423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Shannon - if you do that would be great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald#post-535412 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:39:49 +0000 Transcona Shannon 535412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to be running to ON on my lunch break today (to try on a dress) - I can try on the trench for you to at least give you an idea as to whether or not it's TTS??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald#post-535411 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:39:01 +0000 rachylou 535411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm for the green! (I do agree with Rita, tho, double-breasted can be tricksy.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald#post-535408 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:36:50 +0000 catgirl 535408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone. I need a spring (or let's face it, summer) trench so I may give it a try! Jonesy, the sleeves roll down to full length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald#post-535383 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:23:03 +0000 Anonymous 535383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually LOVE the tabbed sleeves and how could you not love a color called "astroturf"? I think an open, double-breasted trench (perhaps with one end of the belt dragging) to be charmingly RATE, if you like that kind of extra material flapping around asymetrically. I could see it on you, with some great boots as the snow begins to melt....eventually! Very bright UWP. Love it for you Una! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald#post-535320 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:37:00 +0000 Jonesy 535320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the color, but I am not feeling those 3/4 tab sleeves (perhaps I have a poison eye for those on an outerwear jacket, unless they are 3/4 sleeves on a retro jacket, meant to be worn with long gloves). Just my two cents, of course :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald#post-535272 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:02:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 535272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this trench in person yesterday and the colour is fab! I didn't try it on though so can't speak to the sizing. It's definitely worth a try Una. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald#post-535268 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:01:10 +0000 Nakidra 535268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una - I got the birdie shirt and it is SUPER Cute in person!! It would look awesome with your colbalt skinnies. It's a great top! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald#post-535088 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 07:37:18 +0000 rae 535088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! And you've needed a trench for a while, yes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald#post-535060 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 06:33:48 +0000 diane 535060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go for it!!! Love the trench! As we know from Angie's emerald trend question, that color has stood the test of time; and It's a classic style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald#post-534998 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 04:47:25 +0000 kellygirl 534998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the color. It's gorgeous. Are you okay with the belt? I always struggle with what to do with the belt and have come to prefer coats without them. </p> <p>I tried on a similar cotton raglan top several months ago. I took a medium because the armholes on the small were tight--yes, even though it was a raglan. Weird. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-trench-in-emerald#post-534984 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 04:26:47 +0000 catgirl 534984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely the blue! I have the same issue at ON with armholes, which is why I usually end up in a M. The reviews make me think sizing up isn't going to be a problem. Anxious to hear how it works out for you! </p>
