I feel happy you have found it, after years of long-jacket drought.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would buy this in an instant if I had the ready cash! As it is, I feel I <b>MUST</b> try it on somehow...I hope they have it in Toronto. I'll look for it and just give it a bash if it's available. It doesn't hurt to <b>try,</b> right? &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-for-long-jacket-lovers#post-1377461 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 03:04:36 +0000 Carole 1377461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-for-long-jacket-lovers#post-1377458 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 02:59:47 +0000 Janet 1377458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh wow. Might be an interesting alternative since I've become so smitten with my black BCBG jacket. This long jacket phenomenon could become a thing for me. Funny because I liked them back in the 90s, but they went totally off my radar after that until this year. They're not an easy fit for me, since I'm more like a 6 on top and an 8 on bottom. This might be worth a try. Thanks for sharing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-for-long-jacket-lovers#post-1377390 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 01:54:36 +0000 Sveta 1377390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see you found your long jacket Rhonda - and what a stunner it is! &lt;drooling&gt;<br />How substantial the fabric is? Is it lightweight enough to wear&nbsp;indoors in a heated office ? Also you said there is another color but I cannot find it online - do you have a link for it?</p> <p>Although it is going to be moot point anyway because the price is so steep for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/psa-for-long-jacket-lovers#post-1377387 Fri, 17 Oct 2014 01:53:37 +0000 Deb 1377387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous choice Gryffin. This would sit just above the knee on me..... a length I love. And the more fitted silhouette is perfection on this petite.
