I wasn't even looking for trenches but as the <b>perfect</b> one has always been on my wish list, I ordered one too! (I have a lightweight one from BR a few seasons ago that is really close to perfect in color and fit but the quality - or lack thereof - has always bugged me). </p> <p>I hope it works for you Una! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/serious-trench-envy-meltdown#post-968284 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 16:01:37 +0000 ElleH 968284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wait to see it! I hope it works. Did Rae get hers yet? I didn't jump when I saw it on sale &amp; then when Rae posted hers I went back to look &amp; it was sold out in my size so I too am having trench envy. Sure I finally found the perfect Burberry fit for me but I would prefer BB prices in a light colour. I'm a bit scared of not having black &amp; staining my Burberry with blue jeans or something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/serious-trench-envy-meltdown#post-968273 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 15:54:52 +0000 Thistle 968273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope this works for you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/serious-trench-envy-meltdown#post-968138 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 11:57:01 +0000 Eliza 968138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only at YLF.

Definitely not beige, and not what I'd call a typical khaki, either. Approaching taupe, although the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://h-bsch.blogspot.com/2012/03/all-about-taupe.html">definition of taupe</a> seems to be somewhat ephemeral. "Beige-gray"? "Saint Martin Sand"? o_0 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/serious-trench-envy-meltdown#post-968084 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 05:36:50 +0000 Anonymous 968084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;To add: it's dark for a beige, but light for a brown, and it's not an earthy, rust brown. It lacks the green or yellow undertones of the SSBs that have been in circulation for a while. It's also not that very light&nbsp;grey-khaki they call "stone". Here it is with a few common household items. </p> <p>ETA: See how the paper bag and the potato are more golden and the trench is a little pinker, like cocoa?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/serious-trench-envy-meltdown#post-968078 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 05:05:25 +0000 MNsara 968078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NOT ssb, thank you very much!&nbsp; But I'm color-descriptor-challenged, so check claire's description too.<br /><a href="http://www.brooksbrothers.com/Petite-Cotton-Trench-Coat/PW00004,default,pd.html?dwvar_PW00004_Color=DKBR&amp;contentpos=2&amp;cgid=09999&amp;cmp=AFC_CJ_Skimlinks_**REDIRECT+LINK*" rel="nofollow">http://www.brooksbrothers.com/.....004_Color=</a>* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/serious-trench-envy-meltdown#post-968077 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 05:04:28 +0000 Anonymous 968077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hop on over to my thread where I describe the color....ad nauseum.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/serious-trench-envy-meltdown#post-968075 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 05:03:19 +0000 catgirl 968075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm hoping so, Rae - assuming it's not SSB, right?&nbsp; What color IS it anyway? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/serious-trench-envy-meltdown#post-968074 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 05:02:47 +0000 Anonymous 968074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*applause*</p> <p>*exhale*</p> <p>Now, I can go to bed.
