No telling how they style the models. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping--ef-waxed-moto-swampy-sweater#post-1337400 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 01:33:58 +0000 Aida 1337400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow the EF jackets look completely different in the photos! I'd never have guessed they were the same jacket. The Nordstrom photos sometimes flatten and mute items a bit, especially if they're taken from their catalog (versus normal online product photos). I like the jacket MUCH more in the Garnet Hill photo! The shape is a little tough to tell, but it looks like more of a relaxed fit than a boxy fit, especially with the stretchy side panels.</p> <p>I think the sweater is lovely, especially if you can get it in a color you love. I've a hunch the fit on that model is a size or two up from what most people would actually wear, so the neckline gape might be diminished (or at least a little bit less than what's shown on the model). I don't see that as a sweater that would date too terribly soon, that batwing-ish shape has been around a good long while now and there seem to be new pieces with it each season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/window-shopping--ef-waxed-moto-swampy-sweater#post-1337337 Fri, 22 Aug 2014 00:28:25 +0000 unfrumped 1337337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just browsing amongst items that might be in line with other things that are working well--lighter-weight jackets and boxier sweaters.</p> <p>This EF waxed cotton moto is interesting to me because my leather jacket "window" of wear is not as long as in some colder climates, and harder to carry off indoors, so I'm appreciating lighter jackets that work more year-round, even if require layering in winter.&nbsp; It caught my eye on Garnet Hill, whose photo looks a lot different from Nordie's, both re: texture and fit&nbsp;(shown as a Find). I was interested in the "soft black" and possibly more luminous&nbsp;properties than flat black fabrics, but perhaps it does not read as&nbsp; much that way and is just the photo shoot lighting, plus it looks way more boxy in the Find.</p> <p>Anyone have experience with this type of fabric or seen IRL in store ? The "wash before wearing" (due to color transfer) warnings are somewhat off-putting for an item like this.</p> <p>Next, I'm feeling sweaters&nbsp; &nbsp;this year need to be generous and boxy ,and I love several colors this one comes in (there is a berry, teal, and blush pink and others) , but I suspect the oversize + the boatneck will overwhelm, based on photo,&nbsp;as it won't really work for me as an off-the-shoulder item or gappy neckline fit. If shipping return were free I might stalk. Why can't everyone do that like Nordstrom's! Probably just as well since this type of fit&nbsp;would&nbsp;&nbsp;not have the longevity of a more fluid-tailored fit.</p> <p>Feel free to chime in if you've seen either of these or have ideas. </p>
