Love the embroidered one especially.<br /> The Liverpool jacket is between 200 and 300 on Amazon. Think I’ll pass<br /> Thanks Angie. I like the white, but feel the blue is too boxy and long. Or just off. I’ve never felt fab with this on over a dress.. it’s fine with chinos or pants. I did find a possibility this evening, will get pics and post in next day or two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-find-a-jean-jacket#post-1930291 Wed, 20 Jun 2018 21:12:44 +0000 Angie 1930291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both look good, E.&nbsp;<b></b><b></b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-find-a-jean-jacket#post-1930290 Wed, 20 Jun 2018 21:09:01 +0000 3style 1930290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elly, if you’re still reading this thread.... I was reading the Zappos sizing reviews for the Liverpool jacket and I have never seen more contradictory sizing recommendations in my life. If you would be comfortable giving me your chest (and underbust) measurements, and anything else that you can do like arm length or, across the shoulders for the size small, I’d really appreciate it. I’d rather not have one more thing to return to sender. Thanks. </p> <p>Edited to say, perhaps measuring the garment might be simpler. Whatever you can do would be appreciated. </p> <p>Just bought two tops at Uniqlo yesterday in XS. They list the chest measurement, but really I think it’s in actuality the underbust that’s being measured. I thought I’d be a medium in Japanese sizing, but they must have really changed their size chart for the USA. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-find-a-jean-jacket#post-1929214 Sun, 17 Jun 2018 09:08:58 +0000 Bijou 1929214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elizabeth I really hope you find the jacket you are looking for. I like the white jacket best, but both work. I could see a slightly shorter jacket may be better, or if it is tapered more into the body, but the point of denim jackets to me is that they have a lovely ease to them - structured yet casual, so both of these work to my eye.</p> <p>I had been looking for a denim jacket to wear with summer dresses for about 18 months and finally resigned myself to the fact that what I was looking for probably just did not exist. I thought it was me, that I just did not 'fit' denim jackets properly, when lo and behold I found two denim jackets, just when I had stopped looking.</p> <p>Both of my jackets (alas, sourced in Australia) are somewhat cropped, and quite fitted but I can wear knits under them and can do them up comfortably. My jackets are in finds. I am really enjoying them, and of course I had to buy some pink jeans to go with them! Please don't give up, even if it is a tough job to find the perfect jacket for you.</p> <p>Peacock Jacket - Loobie's Story (New Zealand designer) Vintage Muladom Jacket<br />Pink Jacket - Skin and Threads (Australian designer)<br />Pink jeans - NYDJ Sheri Ankle fray </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-find-a-jean-jacket#post-1929203 Sun, 17 Jun 2018 06:03:05 +0000 Elly 1929203@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3style - I was a bit nervous myself but it isn't very prominent and I don't notice it.</p> <p>Elizabeth- I believe Liverpool also sells on Amazon which hopefully means they show be CAN available, although I do know your Amazon is a bit different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-find-a-jean-jacket#post-1929155 Sat, 16 Jun 2018 23:41:07 +0000 Elizabeth P 1929155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just added two photos to my OP, with my current denim jackets.&nbsp; Are they too long??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-find-a-jean-jacket#post-1929154 Sat, 16 Jun 2018 23:38:07 +0000 Elizabeth P 1929154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Thanks Suz... will try for navel length.&nbsp; I stopped into ON today but theirs are all currently longer than I think I'm looking for.</div><div><br /></div><div>Elly, that jacket looks great!&nbsp; Unfortunately I don't have access to Zappos.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-find-a-jean-jacket#post-1929072 Sat, 16 Jun 2018 18:17:01 +0000 3style 1929072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elly, I was considering that Liverpool jacket just last night. The biggest thing that stopped me was the belted look double snap on the bottom, when the jacket is open. Does it stay put? I’m not good with things flapping around my midsection. Thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-find-a-jean-jacket#post-1929068 Sat, 16 Jun 2018 18:04:37 +0000 Elly 1929068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>My new favorite denim jacket is from Liverpool jeans and is this insanely stretchy knit material (but not all sweaty and lyrca-y like some stretch denim) that allowed me with my broad shoulders and long arms to size down a full size (size-and-a-half, depending-- my less stretchy denim jackets tend to be a medium tall and I bought this in a small). The find below is for their black moto one, but they have a variety. Sometimes a little less structure is what us broad-shouldered people need.</div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-find-a-jean-jacket#post-1928978 Sat, 16 Jun 2018 04:07:09 +0000 Suz 1928978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them cropped with dresses/ skirts or wide legs/ culottes with high waists.

If so, that's one way to get a more cropped look. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-find-a-jean-jacket#post-1928798 Fri, 15 Jun 2018 13:18:22 +0000 Becky 1928798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also prefer fitted and shorter jackets with dresses. On the other hand, it depends on the dress. If the dress is sleeved, voluminous, and/or make of thicker fabric, sometimes you need more ease through the fit of the jacket to layer over. Most of the dresses I layer over are sleeveless and fitted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-find-a-jean-jacket#post-1928789 Fri, 15 Jun 2018 12:53:20 +0000 Jessikams 1928789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Pilcro denim jackets with dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-find-a-jean-jacket#post-1928787 Fri, 15 Jun 2018 12:29:28 +0000 Toban 1928787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am really happy with the fit of this Kut from the Kloth (Nordstrom) jacket with dresses and skirts. It’s more fitted than boxy. It’s darker than you want and has orange stitching, but perhaps something with a similar cut in your desired wash and stitching?</p> <p>ETA I just checked Nordstrom and the Helena cut is available in a couple other washes that might meet your needs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-find-a-jean-jacket#post-1928786 Fri, 15 Jun 2018 12:26:00 +0000 Elizabeth P 1928786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can do that Liz, later tonight or tomorrow.&nbsp; Good idea.&nbsp; At least then someone can say "5" shorter than the one you have".&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-find-a-jean-jacket#post-1928783 Fri, 15 Jun 2018 12:24:00 +0000 Liz 1928783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Maybe it would be helpful to show us some pictures of your current jackets with the dresses that you are hoping to wear a denim jacket with?
