I think that will be super useful. The EF is completely different on the dressy end.

Sent everything else back. If I did not already have a black JP fleece this one would have been mine, too. If only it had come in navy .... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-james-perse-brushed-fleece-long-jacket#post-1833320 Sat, 05 Aug 2017 01:47:18 +0000 Brooklyn 1833320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks gryffin. I am a medium in the embroidered Moto. And it's very fitted on me. But I think it's a small style. I would want to wear this jacket as a jacket not a coat, so maybe a 2 would work. I will keep an eye out in case it comes back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-james-perse-brushed-fleece-long-jacket#post-1833296 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 23:59:54 +0000 gryffin 1833296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Susie I will be thrilled to be twins w you. You have such exquisite taste. I bought mine for a blazer fit. I think it would also be great sized up as more coat. With only one button, always cold me, will wear a coat over it to be really snug. Susie, it's like a cashmere sweatshirt. Casual and formal which makes it extremely versatile. Nice enough that I will wear it for work and play. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-james-perse-brushed-fleece-long-jacket#post-1833295 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 23:53:13 +0000 Susie 1833295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I got this too and said the same thing- it was love! For me, it will be a coat more than a blazer. Comfy yet polished. The feel of a sweatshirt without the sporty vibe. I got it roomy enough to use as outerwear. And of course, it's black :)</p> <p>At first it seemed a crazy price for a sweatshirt but the quality is amazing and it feels so cozy that I can't imagine NOT wanting to wear it! </p> <p>I'm so glad it worked for you too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-james-perse-brushed-fleece-long-jacket#post-1833292 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 23:31:20 +0000 gryffin 1833292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - that's why I was surprised. It's exactly my style which is why I did not think it would sell so well. In light of Michael Kors doing long jackets for his collection last year, and JP doing this version, do you think we will see a resurgence of equestrian styles? Truly I am shocked at the interest!! I thought I was one of the only ones who loved this style.<br /> Brooklyn - I'm 5'3" 115 lb slim rectangle. I seem to run wide through the back in designer styles because I take a US size 8 in Theory, Veronica Beard and Smythe jackets. A I wear US 6 in Helmut Lang and Vince (not the oversized knits. A size 2-4 Ann Taylor, XS Eileen Fisher, most regular designers 4-6. I would guess you a size 2 in JP which is 4-6. There is stretch in the jacket. I think a 3 would be too big on you. Didn't you take a small size in the embroidered moto. I would ask Angie but I think the 2 would fit you best </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-james-perse-brushed-fleece-long-jacket#post-1833284 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 23:16:48 +0000 Brooklyn 1833284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am tempted by this. I have been looking for a long jacket for ages and cotton would make it more wearable in my climate. Do you mind telling me what the sizing is like? I am a US 6 (never a 4) but taller than you and broad shouldered. Do you think I would need a 3? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-james-perse-brushed-fleece-long-jacket#post-1833268 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 22:19:09 +0000 Angie 1833268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Gryffin. Looks VERY you. <b>ENJOY</b>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-james-perse-brushed-fleece-long-jacket#post-1833261 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 22:00:21 +0000 gryffin 1833261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa - there is a single button closure<br /> BrieN - I hope you love it just as much as I do!! It's so soft. Very splushy.<br /> KKards - me too. I actually thought it looked nice on you. If I remember the photo was w light straight legs and bare feet? Is that right? I wondered what you would have thought w skinnies and a low boogie. But I am built for this jacket too. Pockets no problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-james-perse-brushed-fleece-long-jacket#post-1833259 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 21:55:07 +0000 kkards 1833259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so glad this worked for you!

I can't wear wool - so there are many coats and jackets I can't wear.

Tell me about the color. How dark or saturated is the black? More dull and deep grey or shiny deep velvet black? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-james-perse-brushed-fleece-long-jacket#post-1833232 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 20:03:26 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1833232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought you'd like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-james-perse-brushed-fleece-long-jacket#post-1833231 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 20:03:22 +0000 Thistle 1833231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad this worked for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-james-perse-brushed-fleece-long-jacket#post-1833228 Fri, 04 Aug 2017 19:46:28 +0000 gryffin 1833228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One more review before the sale ends. &nbsp;I ordered the JP fleece jacket, even though I have a poison eye for unlined blazers, because it is exactly my style. &nbsp;Long equestrian blazers are my favorite thing and a formal style in a slightly more relaxed fabric was irresistible. &nbsp;The jacket arrived today, and in a word, I love it. &nbsp;It's beautifully constructed, with lovely front seaming to create a slender hourglass effect, this double seaming is also on the sleeves and shoulder. &nbsp;I know there must be a name for this but I don't know it, Firecracker or any of our experienced seamstresses would need to weigh in. &nbsp;The exterior fabric extends under the jackets opening for quite a few inches and it is lined in front to the side seam. &nbsp;I was impressed with the finish work. &nbsp;It's very warm, yet comfortable with stretch to the fabric. &nbsp;It's like wearing a hug. &nbsp;I can't testify to it's relationship with lint. &nbsp;But I will keep my lint brush handy. &nbsp;The pockets hit exactly at my high hip bone. &nbsp;I am a slim rectangle and this is perfect pocket placement for me. &nbsp;They are not bulky but help create the slim hourglass style that is this jacket. &nbsp;I tried it on with the EF skirted leggings and a matching cropped shell. &nbsp;The classic short skirt/long jacket of the cake song and it looked great. &nbsp;If you like a formal blazer with the comfort of a warm cardigan - well it doesn't get any better than this. &nbsp;It is quite warm so if you run hot it might be too heavy. &nbsp;Also I think this style looks best with short skirts, skinnies, leggings, leather leggings. &nbsp;Even a straight leg might be too much volume at the bottom. &nbsp;The jacket got a lot of excellent reviews, it is heavy enough to double as a light coat, but to me it's definitely a fall/winter/early spring blazer. &nbsp;I am usually a size 4-6. &nbsp;5'3" and I took my usual JP size 2 which fit perfectly. &nbsp;Currently the jacket is sold out but I've seen every size pop back frequently during the sale. &nbsp;Since there are 2 more days left to the sale I thought I'd put in a good word in case someone was still thinking about it. &nbsp;It's a bargain at the sale price but I would have bought this one full price it I had had to!! &nbsp; </p>
