I tie the belt in back. Keeps it out of the way and I can easily put it on/ take it off. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-jackets#post-1385236 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 02:15:15 +0000 abc 1385236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Joy. I will have to look closer at that post. I hadn't noticed so thanks for pointing it out. Could be good news if that style is mentioned in a spring 2015 post! </p> <p>Janet, this was the kind of feedback I was looking for. Thanks. I think maybe I need to make time to go see it in person again and take a closer look while trying it on again. I recall thinking the fit was good, I liked the weight and the fabric seemed nice. I actually thought it was navy but when I got home and looked it up online it said it is black - but there is a review saying the user thought it was blue as well, so I think my perception of the color must be right. It has a lot of things going for it. I just need to see if the belt is a deal breaker. Oh and I think maybe it has a zipper and snaps? Something else to check. Anyway thanks for the spot on reply. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-jackets#post-1385166 Wed, 29 Oct 2014 00:26:34 +0000 Janet 1385166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a belted jacket in a similar length -- but it's actually a stiffer leather jacket by Belstaff. It looks best zipped up and belted, so I need to wear it on a day when I'm prepared to commit to that look and don't just want a throw-on-and-off piece. </p> <p>This jacket has two advantages over mine -- it's lighter and more flexible/fluid, and it snaps rather than zips, if I am seeing it correctly. It may hang better open and unbelted than my jacket does.</p> <p>The belting reminds me of a trench coat. It's one of the things I just accept with that style -- the advantage is that it's nice for a bit of waist definition, the disadvantage is that it's another step in getting ready to go out to tie or fasten the belt. Not a huge deal in my opinion, but there are times I want to wear it open, and the belt flapping around can be annoying. Or it can get closed in the car door. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-jackets#post-1385121 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 22:34:18 +0000 Anonymous 1385121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no experience, but it reminds me of the belted jackets mentioned in Angie's blog post on Spring 2015 trends that she noted on the runway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/speaking-of-jackets#post-1385114 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 22:21:26 +0000 abc 1385114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anyone have any experience or input on this jacket? &nbsp;It is the BR Field Jacket. &nbsp;I saw it in store recently and am pondering it as a mid-weight jacket (a wardrobe hole of mine right now). &nbsp;Holding me back is the belt, I forgot about that detail when I tried it on and I'm not sure I want the fuss. &nbsp;Anyone have this piece or something similar&nbsp;and can offer input? </p>
