I personally am very affected by color and with the HIGH VOLUME of gray days where I live it is essential for me to have light outerwear options. Plus there is something so luxurious about white for rain wear, isn't there? ^^ I think the navy looks good on you, just as charcoal or olive would. For puffery coats I rather like the idea of having it be a color, or at least a less common neutral, since they are gear-ish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ppp---getting-any-closer#post-841591 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 01:18:23 +0000 pil 841591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, patience is not one of my stronger suits : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ppp---getting-any-closer#post-841584 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 01:13:41 +0000 rae 841584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with all your assessments, but I do think you're headed in the right direction. The cinched waist is closer to your perfect cut. </p> <p>Can I also say that I'm relieved I'm not the only one experimenting a lot and sending multiple things back in the quest for PPP? High five, and don't give up till the holy grail of puffers is yours, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ppp---getting-any-closer#post-841578 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 01:07:59 +0000 Angie 841578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue jacket is great! Nice to have the option of a shorter length - but of course, you need a puffer with length too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ppp---getting-any-closer#post-841576 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 01:06:32 +0000 pil 841576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cciele, probably teens to freezing. I have a knee length heavier weight down coat for colder than that. Lands End, etc. all have temperature guidelines. This is a Michael Kors jacket from Zappos and didn't have that info that I recall.</p> <p>Seat coverage would be useful for shoveling the driveway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ppp---getting-any-closer#post-841571 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 01:01:01 +0000 cciele 841571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also prefer some back-end coverage. I guess I like jackets that either end above the hipbone or end over the back-end or to the knee. </p> <p>As far as warmth goes, what temperatures are you looking to wear your jacket in? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ppp---getting-any-closer#post-841570 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 00:58:34 +0000 pil 841570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, do you think something like an olive green or charcoal would be better? </p> <p>Caro and Rachylou, thanks - glad to know I'm on the right track. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ppp---getting-any-closer#post-841568 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 00:54:58 +0000 Aida 841568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too think it'll be more useful a bit longer (who wants a cold seat?), but also think you're on the right track with the shaping. The navy has nice waist definition, whereas the white was more boxy. I don't think either color is particularly slimming on its own, and have to say that as an owner of a lightweight white puffer I don't think I'd ever pick a dark color to replace it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ppp---getting-any-closer#post-841505 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 00:09:04 +0000 rachylou 841505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the waist definition of the blue. But I'd also like to see it longer... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ppp---getting-any-closer#post-841476 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 23:50:39 +0000 Caro in Oz 841476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't help with weight &amp; such (it never gets cold enough for them here) but I think the fit is good - I'd like to see it a couple of inches longer though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ppp---getting-any-closer#post-841426 Wed, 06 Feb 2013 22:38:30 +0000 pil 841426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been on the hunt for a down jacket. Not a "major" jacket but something with some warmth. A few days ago I posted pics (#3) of a couple that have since been returned. Am I right in thinking this navy silhouette is more becoming than the white? But - that may be because it isn't as bulky either. In the realm of PPP, today's jacket would be a bit longer to cover the bum. I'll probably keep looking but wanted to post this to see if I'm heading in the right direction.</p> <p>Another drawback with this is that I'm not sure how much warmer it might be than another jacket I already have. There wasn't any temperature information in the description. Picture 4 is a boiled wool jacket with no lining that really gets a lot of wear. Today was 32 and it was perfect for running errands. </p> <p>Thanks in advance for your comments! </p>
