Thanks, Lisa. And the Boden is interesting - I look forward to seeing that on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-vest-substitutes#post-1712561 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 02:36:48 +0000 Suz 1712561@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zara will very likely come out with a poly crepe version -- they've had them for two years running. I very nearly bought one a few seasons ago -- I ordered it and it was awesome, but I just didn't see myself wearing it a lot (so ironically I have now bought one at 5 times the price, LOL.) The particular one I tried was not as heavy weight as the Rag&amp;Bone but was substantial and crisp, not floppy, and very tailored, with a stand collar. They had similar versions with shawl collars as well, but the R&amp;B has a double breasted and pointed collar style -- different to most I have seen.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-vest-substitutes#post-1712558 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 02:32:16 +0000 Anonymous 1712558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is a slightly drapier one at Aritzia ( it has a tie belt , which was a deal-breaker for me , but might not bother anyone else ) . Nicely constructed , lined crepe . I'm on my phone so no finds .... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-vest-substitutes#post-1712495 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 01:10:04 +0000 Dekaf4me 1712495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haven't looked lately, but there were several at WHBM last season.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-vest-substitutes#post-1712492 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 01:02:31 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1712492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not woven. I ordered the Boden one because I think it would work well under coats, but I think the COS is a pretty worthy looking substitute for the Rag and Bone.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-vest-substitutes#post-1712480 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 00:47:04 +0000 Greyscale 1712480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The distinctive thing about the R&amp;B vest is its tailoring and the weight of the fabric. Most of the other vests I've seen are looser and drapier -- which I might actually prefer in many contexts, but if you're looking for a duplicate, it won't be quite the same.</p> <p>So have you considered finding an old wool coat, maybe a vintage one from when they were more fitted, and getting the sleeves removed?</p> <p>It depends on the weight you want, I suppose. I know one of my friends didn't buy the R&amp;B vest because it was too warm for our climate and the outfits she had in mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-vest-substitutes#post-1712479 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 00:46:56 +0000 catgirl 1712479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will - we are on the hunt and she is a total fashionista so keeping fingers crossed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-vest-substitutes#post-1712450 Fri, 12 Aug 2016 00:17:52 +0000 viva 1712450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Watching this closely. Please keep me posted, Una! I'm hoping I didn't make the wrong choice keeping the plaid instead of trying the R&amp;B .... so now I am on the lookout for a cheaper R&amp;B-type one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-vest-substitutes#post-1712439 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 23:54:05 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1712439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even Target has a version! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-vest-substitutes#post-1712424 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 23:27:59 +0000 Karie 1712424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was out shopping today and I didn't see one like it - it's on my radar to find one too. I really like that Zara vest, the lapels are what caught my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-vest-substitutes#post-1712422 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 23:26:51 +0000 Jorja 1712422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know how to add a find but I saw that Nordstrom's had a Halogen one button vest available to preorder. A possible R&amp;B substitute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-vest-substitutes#post-1712411 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 23:18:44 +0000 Aida 1712411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Saw this one pop up at Zara, though it's black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-vest-substitutes#post-1712402 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 23:07:50 +0000 Tanya 1712402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since it a shape that is very trendy, I am sure a bunch will be available in the stores in a month or so.&nbsp;&nbsp; I saw quite a few lasts season too.&nbsp;&nbsp; I luckily scored the black AT which was an Angie pick, and thus resisted the allure of the R&amp;B at NAS. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rb-vest-substitutes#post-1712401 Thu, 11 Aug 2016 23:05:11 +0000 catgirl 1712401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was dying to try this vest but had already splurged on the Burberry jacket. Now a workmate and I are both desperate to find something similar at a more affordable price point. We were joking that we should have just split the cost and shared it! </p> <p>Any hope for us? I've seen some styles listed as "sleeveless blazer". </p>
