But now I see that you are choosing between two treat items, so I will let you know what I really think! ;-)&nbsp;<br />Keep the Shearling!!!<br />:-)<br />Seriously--the shearling coat is a Great, White Whale--the kind of item you find by chance and you will never see its like again.<br />If you can afford it, but you don't get it, you will always have a little bit of nostalgia when you think about the (fashion) "ones that got away".</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-3-the-jon-snow-jacket#post-1872652 Fri, 29 Dec 2017 00:40:57 +0000 gryffin 1872652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GF - I don't see the shearling as casual. I would die to see it over the fanciest ball dress. Just like a great moto it would just elevate any outfit. There will never be another. I like the cashmere trench a lot. Warm, different, elegant versatile. The belt loop height can be adjusted. But for the expense you should really love the pieces. But I think the shearling is TDF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-3-the-jon-snow-jacket#post-1872540 Thu, 28 Dec 2017 19:10:17 +0000 MsMary 1872540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You must keep both.</p> <p>Srsly.</p> <p>Must. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-3-the-jon-snow-jacket#post-1872531 Thu, 28 Dec 2017 18:38:26 +0000 3style 1872531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Kkards who would prefer the white jacket to be longer, tush coverage is good Especially if you are wanting it as a practical defense against severe cold. </p> <p>I like the color of the trenchcoat but not the color of the buttons. I think that it would be nice with lighter colored or metallic buttons. Since it is a very unusual color for a trench coat, if I were you I would buy it and swap them out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-3-the-jon-snow-jacket#post-1872345 Wed, 27 Dec 2017 22:45:46 +0000 Anonymous 1872345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Difficult decision. &nbsp;I can't say what I would do. &nbsp;I can say with certainty that I am financially responsible. &nbsp;I have two questions for you: &nbsp;(1) would you get sufficient wear out of both garments to warrant keeping both, and (2) would you be able to opt out of shopping for the next few months (until April)? &nbsp;</p> <p>I agree with you they have very different vibes. &nbsp;I regretted saying that shedding was a deal breaker because after some thought, I concluded it might not have been if I loved it. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-3-the-jon-snow-jacket#post-1872341 Wed, 27 Dec 2017 22:36:17 +0000 gradfashionista 1872341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, I still haven’t decided. I think this is the first time when I’ve reopened a box bound for a return (the shearling) because of doubt; the price also dropped 25%, which didn’t hurt. So long for decisive action. </p> <p>My reconsidération of the shearling was prompted by the sudden temperature drop today. I was able to test both garments outside for a minute in a windy -4 wearing a t-shirt underneath. Not what I call winter, but colder than what we’ve experienced so far. I’m headed up north to colder pastures for a few days, so cold is definitely on my mind, even if I end up taking my restrictive puffer. </p> <p>The shearling was definitely warmer, though the cashmere was warmer than I expected it to be. There was less shedding on my t-shirt than the first time. </p> <p>I still have a few more days to decide before the return window draws to a close. They’re both so different. </p> <p>What’s keeping me back from the trench is the price and concern that it’s too big in the neck area; it seems to fall lower on me than on the model, and the belt is a bit lower than my natural waist. It’s not a deal breaker, but neither is an issue with my other trench. What’s keeping me back from the shearling is the price and the casual vibe — do I want to pay a premium price to look dressed down, albeit dressed down with a cool vibe?</p> <p>If I don’t keep either, I’ll at least have enjoyed touching luxe fabrics and having a few days of a fantasy wardrobe. If I keep one, then I have an awesome addition to winter wear, and a bit of extra work and cutting corners to compensate for the price. If I keep both, then I’m reckless and will opt out of shopping for the next few months, barring essentials. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-3-the-jon-snow-jacket#post-1871487 Sat, 23 Dec 2017 11:59:54 +0000 Anonymous 1871487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be curious as to your final decision. &nbsp;</p> <p>Pink is a signature color for my wardrobe. &nbsp;As a signature color, I doubt I would even notice changing trends in color. &nbsp;I would wear the pink trench coat proudly. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-3-the-jon-snow-jacket#post-1871453 Sat, 23 Dec 2017 06:07:19 +0000 ktsullivan 1871453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that pink coat!!! It looks beyond cozy and warm! I'm jealous! If I owned it, I'd never want to take it off lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-3-the-jon-snow-jacket#post-1871035 Fri, 22 Dec 2017 04:03:18 +0000 Echo 1871035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I completely disagree with many here. One can buy a pink trench anytime, but I have NEVER seen a fur jacket like that. I'd keep the white one in a heartbeat and take my chances on a trench some other time. Seriously, you can get a trench EVERY SINGLE SEASON. you can't find a jacket like that everyday. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-3-the-jon-snow-jacket#post-1870933 Fri, 22 Dec 2017 00:43:43 +0000 Anonymous 1870933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the furry coat. I don’t think it will date but it seems impractical for day-to-Day wear.<br /> I think you have to pay attention to the colour of the trench, not so much the style. The colour is trendy and will become dated, IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-3-the-jon-snow-jacket#post-1870887 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 23:13:13 +0000 Katerina 1870887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pink trench coat is clearly the winner, white jacket a runner up.

I was so hoping to see the&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.boredpanda.com/game-of-thrones-cape-instructions-ikea/">DIY version with an IKEA rug</a>! </p> <p>The shearling looks sumptuous. I wear wool and leather so I don't have a problem when the two are still attached to each other. Be warned though - it's hard to clean. I've never found a cleaner who'll take responsibility for my shearling tippet.&nbsp;</p> <p>It's pretty fab, but given the choice the pink trench wins. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-3-the-jon-snow-jacket#post-1870763 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 18:35:58 +0000 Emily K 1870763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This has got to be the most amazing jacket ever. &nbsp;Not that it would be remotely function as a part of real life, but I was completely delighted by your entire description of the construction and feel of it as well as the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-3-the-jon-snow-jacket#post-1870745 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 18:12:12 +0000 Anonymous 1870745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is cool, but shedding would be a deal breaker for me. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-3-the-jon-snow-jacket#post-1870743 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 18:09:24 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1870743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, but I can’t get behind fur.

That is definitely different!&nbsp;</p> <p>If you can only keep one, I say the pink trench.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you can keep two, and don't mind the shedding or don't worry about the cleaning bills, keep this one, too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-3-the-jon-snow-jacket#post-1870691 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 16:52:51 +0000 Bonnie 1870691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both coats are amazing. It's too bad the white one sheds, I'd be tempted to keep it, too. Maybe you could brush the excess fur out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-3-the-jon-snow-jacket#post-1870690 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 16:51:45 +0000 JAileen 1870690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks wonderful on you. And I bet it's really warm. The dangly buckle straps would drive me crazy. The pink one, if you moved the buckles, would be my choice. I mean come on, cashmere. Plus, pink! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-3-the-jon-snow-jacket#post-1870688 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 16:44:32 +0000 Sara L. 1870688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! I actually put something very similar (short white faux fur) on my Xmas list. Yours is cooler with the buckles than the one I want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-3-the-jon-snow-jacket#post-1870683 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 16:37:57 +0000 Janet 1870683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally cool and so different from the others there is no comparison. I vote keep this and the trench! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-3-the-jon-snow-jacket#post-1870679 Thu, 21 Dec 2017 16:31:15 +0000 gradfashionista 1870679@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The last coat I posted seems like a winner, but I had purchased this jacket at the same time for comparison, and it arrived today. It’s a totally different vibe and yes, it looks like it belongs on a GoT set. What I liked from its online description and photo were the cool wrist buckles, its shearling and fur (*ducks from PETA* ) composition, and its silk(!) lining. It is very roomy inside, and extremely soft on the outside. When I tried it on, the silk lining initially felt cool to the touch, but I began to feel warm quickly. The downside: the jacket seems to have shed a bit on my black shirt. In the best of both worlds, I’d keep both. If any of you see a knock-off of this version though, please let me know. Guessing the trench will have better longevity, but this jacket was too cool not to share. </p>
