It just seems to run large. Anyway, Tobi said they would price match so I'll be sending it back to Quebec tomorrow and ordering the new one from Tobi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-with-denim-jackets#post-181574 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 18:44:26 +0000 RoseandJoan 181574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, do you think the jacket was wrongly labelled as it looks big all over? If it was it may mean you are entitled to the return shipping costs refunded:0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-with-denim-jackets#post-181569 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 18:31:07 +0000 Maya 181569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Quality and price are nothing without fit! That's the issue now. I need something very cropped (15-16 inches) and fitted. If Diesel doesn't fit, it doesn't matter how discounted or luxurious the quality is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-with-denim-jackets#post-181543 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 17:39:08 +0000 Scarlet 181543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Maya, I am thinking maybe the baggy sleeves are some kind of a weird 80's volume reference? Don't rule out Diesel out of hand--sometimes they have very good sale prices, and the quality leaves other brands in the dust. (I know quality is not your main thing, but still, quality also means a good cut.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-with-denim-jackets#post-181535 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 17:28:13 +0000 Maya 181535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know. I have 3 things coming back from the tailor today--the cream dress with the hole that needed mending, purple shirt dress (had snaps placed between the buttons), and the scariest of all: Roxanne jeans. BUT...I was smart this time. I marked where I wanted the jeans hemmed and cuffed them myself at home first. All they need to do is cut and sew. If they bungle THAT up, I'll know it's time to move on.</p> <p>Hopefully the shoulders on the XS will be small enough. I have never tried an S with such huge shoulders. Short waisted inverted triangles with full arms would probably find this jacket heavenly! Sadly that is not me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-with-denim-jackets#post-181528 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 17:23:31 +0000 Angie 181528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! And perhaps having the sleeves tapered. I do say that with caution as you know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-with-denim-jackets#post-181526 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 17:22:37 +0000 Maya 181526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My wallet doesn't like that idea Angie! Doubt it'll be short enough anyway :(</p> <p>Do you think it's worth it to give the XS a try? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-with-denim-jackets#post-181506 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 16:52:49 +0000 Angie 181506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My denim jacket has tapered sleeves. I guess you need a Diesel denim jacket :0( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-with-denim-jackets#post-181474 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 16:05:06 +0000 medusa 181474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I see what you mean about the shoulder width. Yep, it's too big. Bummer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-with-denim-jackets#post-181437 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 14:43:23 +0000 Carole 181437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad, Maya! That was a cute jacket. You and I are on opposite ends of the spectrum. Sleeves are usually never long enough, and if something fits in the shoulders, it's usually way too big in the body! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-with-denim-jackets#post-181427 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 14:31:35 +0000 Maya 181427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fathenry, I don't think either of those jackets will be cropped enough for me. The one I bought is 15.5" long. I am petite and very short-waisted, which means anything described as "cropped" is usually far from it on me. I like the length of it, and LOVE the skulls on the buttons (which you can't see but it's pretty fierce)...just hate the sleeves. I'll see what Tobi says. Hopefully the XS will fit at least in the shoulder. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-with-denim-jackets#post-181305 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 03:51:35 +0000 fathenry 181305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you able to find French Connection brand in your area?

I guess cuffing the sleeves is not an option? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-with-denim-jackets#post-181277 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 02:36:34 +0000 MNsara 181277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I think the shoulders are a bit too wide for you. That should imprive with the next size down. Is the body of this size roomy enough to allow for an inch less? The sleeves should improve a tiny bit too, but even then, you may want to alter. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-with-denim-jackets#post-181276 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 02:33:22 +0000 MNsara 181276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket is $60 on sale and the code is for an additional 20% ($12), but with tobi UPS Ground shipping is free, so they should match the $60 and give you free shipping </p> <p>BUT if you do, be sure to ask about returns because some retailers (like revolveclothing) make price match items Final Sale :-\ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-with-denim-jackets#post-181274 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 02:27:30 +0000 Maya 181274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is a pic:</p> <p><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/ranabow/IMG_2602.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/alb.....G_2602.jpg</a></p> <p>The sleeves are alterable but the shoulder seams are a problem.

Everything I own is altered, or cuff AND some sleeve turned back, or rolled up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-with-denim-jackets#post-181238 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 01:41:48 +0000 Mellllls 181238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the sleeves look huge even on the model. i think its supposed to be that way although i dont know why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-with-denim-jackets#post-181234 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 01:39:17 +0000 Maya 181234@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess so but I'm alterations phobic and it will start getting expensive. I think I am just too full of doubts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-with-denim-jackets#post-181230 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 01:34:44 +0000 medusa 181230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would it be possible to have the sleeves altered? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-is-it-with-denim-jackets#post-181228 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 01:32:18 +0000 Maya 181228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why do they always have such huuuuge sleeves? I found one that is cropped enough but I think it's too big. The shoulders look a little droopy but more importantly, the arms are gigantic. This is not the first time I have experienced this issue with denim jackets. The sleeves are also goofily long. I can't decide if it's worth exchanging for an XS. I bought it from Ssense, which has a highly irritating and laborious returns process and expensive international shipping. But they are also having a sale so the jacket will be even less expensive.</p> <p>I think I have to leave it though, just because if it doesn't work out, I'll be out $30 just for shipping...and that doesn't even include the cost of shipping both jackets back. Tobi has it in stock but it is not on sale there and is $90 full price. I can't decide what to do!</p> <p>This is it, btw:</p> <p><a href="http://www.ssense.com/women/product/cheap_monday/jean_jacket/25349" rel="nofollow">http://www.ssense.com/women/pr.....cket/25349</a> </p>
