BBQ???? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchase-dilemma-rag-bone-tux-jacket#post-1165542 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 10:51:14 +0000 viva 1165542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!</p> <p>Last night I ordered the jacket, but from Nordstrom, which had it for $50 more but returnable. If it works, and I have the energy and it's still available from R&amp;B, I may return Nordies and buy from R&amp;B. It's been four months since I fell in love with it in DC and I just want to be sure it wasn't just a fling. Also, I have never actually put the 6 on.</p> <p>Finally, I see that it's not described anywhere as a tuxedo jacket, not that that necessarily matters -- it definitely had that vibe to me, with a black-on-black very sharp lapel. Still, I want to be extra sure that it fills the tux need/want. Anna and Parsley, I appreciate your endorsements of R&amp;B jackets -- love the overall brand but have never bought a jacket from them.</p> <p>So, we shall see! Next week!!</p> <p>Oh, and despite our "no gift" policy for Valentines Day (after this long it really feels so silly) DH "gave" me $100 of his spending money toward the jacket. So my clothing budget grew just a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchase-dilemma-rag-bone-tux-jacket#post-1165493 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 06:46:38 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1165493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I'll be the voice of reason just for fun. Do you have the money, and what will you not be able to buy if you buy this? The seasonality of it doesn't bother me, as it does sound like it will fill a hole in your wardrobe. But if you're going to be on the sartorial equivalent of a ramen diet until the fall, then no. There are always more clothes.</p> <p>But then I don't think I've ever bought anything that cost over 10 bucks that wasn't returnable, so maybe I'm just a control freak. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchase-dilemma-rag-bone-tux-jacket#post-1165476 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 06:21:59 +0000 Jeanie 1165476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You'll feel so good wearing this for many years to come knowing you got such a good deal. &nbsp;I say YES! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchase-dilemma-rag-bone-tux-jacket#post-1165397 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 04:58:06 +0000 Deborah 1165397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This jacket looks like a long term investment in your wardrobe.&nbsp;It's not a whim, its a longed for item... buy it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchase-dilemma-rag-bone-tux-jacket#post-1165396 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 04:57:14 +0000 Adelfa 1165396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's not even a question. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchase-dilemma-rag-bone-tux-jacket#post-1165393 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 04:51:42 +0000 catgirl 1165393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket - BBQ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchase-dilemma-rag-bone-tux-jacket#post-1165382 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 04:37:40 +0000 Sunee 1165382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you KNOW it fits, buy it. You will wear it all the time. If you are not 100% sure. Don't do it. Wait for a tux jacket that is <b>perfect.&nbsp;</b>And when you find it, it will be a true love story like I have with mine...&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchase-dilemma-rag-bone-tux-jacket#post-1165296 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 03:11:43 +0000 Parsley 1165296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Forget the sweater- nice as it is, they're a dime a dozen.<br />Rag &amp; Bone jackets are fabulous. I vote go for it!&nbsp;<br />If you wait until tomorrow it may be gone.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchase-dilemma-rag-bone-tux-jacket#post-1165288 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 03:04:03 +0000 annagybe 1165288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My long tailed leather trimmed leather blazer is Rag &amp; Bone, it's amazing. They make a good jacket.<br />&nbsp;I have a Club Monaco tuxedo jacket that has been a key part of many an outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchase-dilemma-rag-bone-tux-jacket#post-1165278 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 02:57:16 +0000 karymk 1165278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viva, go for it. &nbsp;I just bought some boots for next year at a huge discount. &nbsp;This jacket will be in for a long time, plus if you end up loving it, it will become your personal classic and will be well worth the late season purchase.</p> <p>The Franny sweater? That is comparing apples to oranges. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchase-dilemma-rag-bone-tux-jacket#post-1165266 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 02:51:29 +0000 Jaime 1165266@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely give it a try. Even in a warm climate it can be used all year in air conditioning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchase-dilemma-rag-bone-tux-jacket#post-1165187 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 01:33:15 +0000 Caro in Oz 1165187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If your summer wardrobe is in relatively good order then I say go for the jacket - it's a long term keeper whereas a knit is a much shorter term proposition imo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchase-dilemma-rag-bone-tux-jacket#post-1165171 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 00:58:38 +0000 gryffin 1165171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Viva - go to your computer ASAP. A jacket has a much longer 1/2 life than a knit. A great tux jacket is always the answer to what to wear. If I had not just bought my HL tux jackets I would be on it. It's a HEWI. Press buy now!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchase-dilemma-rag-bone-tux-jacket#post-1165168 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 00:55:54 +0000 viva 1165168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's NOT returnable. Not at that price. I tried the 4 at Intermix and felt sure then I would want a 6, so I am pretty confident in ordering a 6. I have long arms and although I am usually a small / 4 on top, with some designers I have to go to M / 6.<br />If you're a 4 (or smaller), Intermix has this same jacket for under $200 - but again, not returnable.<br />I'm feeling close to ordering because I don't want to lose it .... but I hate purchasing under pressure. May have to sleep on it just to be sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchase-dilemma-rag-bone-tux-jacket#post-1165167 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 00:54:50 +0000 kkards 1165167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you picture yourself wearing this next year? Do you think you would still be wearing this in march? If yes, order ASAP. If not, on to spring </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchase-dilemma-rag-bone-tux-jacket#post-1165166 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 00:52:50 +0000 April 1165166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes -- I completely agree with Diana and Suz and won't waste time typing another word because you must&nbsp;<i>strike while your size is half price!</i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchase-dilemma-rag-bone-tux-jacket#post-1165164 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 00:51:06 +0000 Suz 1165164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG. I want you to buy it but make sure it's not the last one and then show me how it fits and how great it is so I can order it, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Seriously - -- this is a HEWI for me, too. A jacket will live longer than any knit.&nbsp;</p> <p>Is it returnable? If so, order ASAP and decide when it arrives.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchase-dilemma-rag-bone-tux-jacket#post-1165163 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 00:50:10 +0000 Diana 1165163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go for it! In my opinion, HEWIs do not count toward the regular seasonal cycle of buying and budgets. &nbsp;(Kind of like how no matter how full you are you have room for dessert!)&nbsp;</p> <p>It sounds like you will own and love this jacket for many years to come, so it does not really matter if you only wear it once or twice this winter before putting it away for the summer. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/purchase-dilemma-rag-bone-tux-jacket#post-1165152 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 00:40:48 +0000 viva 1165152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I fell hard for a Rag &amp; Bone Roseberg tuxedo jacket this fall but at $500 it was not in the budget. (A tux jacket is on my list of dream items.) That jacket was my answer to Gryffin's posted question: what would you buy if money were no object. So I did a little casual googling after responding to Gryffin, and I discovered that it is now on sale for $250 and available in my size. However, I was really trying not to buy any more "winter" items (although I could probably wear this jacket almost year round, given where I live).</p> <p>Should I buy it now, or should I do what I planned to do and focus more on spring and summer items, like the Club Monaco Franny sweater Angie recently posted? What do you think?</p> <p><a href="http://www.rag-bone.com/Roseburg_Blazer/pd/np/220/p/5533.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.rag-bone.com/Rosebu...../5533.html</a></p>
