I made a tactical error - I wanted to get it done before I moved, so I brought it to my excellent tailor in my previous town, but she didn't have time to finish before I moved. So now&nbsp;I have to drive 80 miles back down there to get it! I'll combine it with other errands so it might have to wait a few weeks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-black-jackets#post-1078651 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 03:41:38 +0000 Ariadne 1078651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE #s 1/2 and 6. &nbsp;They are FAB. &nbsp;The other two look dated to me. &nbsp;I also adore your hair!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-black-jackets#post-1078608 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 03:17:42 +0000 annagybe 1078608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late, but the&nbsp;Theyskens Theory by a mile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-black-jackets#post-1078601 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 03:13:19 +0000 Jaime 1078601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida! This jacket gets another squee credit for bringing you out of the woodwork. So nice to see you! (Thinking, hmm, did she post, oh I hope so,must check, heh.)</p> <p>Sleeves. Yes, thank you all for reminding me that I need to pay attention to the sleeves and thank you for your sleeve sympathy Tracey. I will take TT to the tailor tout suite (sorry all your kind words have made me silly).&nbsp;</p> <p>Greyscale - yes! I immediately ran home to google&nbsp;and that is definitely the jacket and yes you must wear it and show me asap! We are jacket twins! I thought I had detected a kindred spirit.</p> <p>Diane thank you for appreciating my shoe comment - I would start a thread about which shoe you would be but I am not sure everyone gets the fun in that!</p> <p>Angie I can feel your warm smile all the way across the ocean and continents. Your comments always make me happy!</p> <p>Thank you so much everyone (without naming names please know I read and appreciate each and every one of your comments)&nbsp;who offered your opinion about the jackets and I am delighted we all agree! </p> <p>The Max Mara will go to consignment to offset the cost of the others, but the TT and the Topshop are staying with me (and perhaps forming a band in my closet). And #5 at least long enough to see if I actually wear it.<br />(And special thanks to everyone who said nice things about my hair. I am usually ok with it, but it is still a delicate subject when I am feeling blah.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-black-jackets#post-1078484 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 01:54:37 +0000 Aida 1078484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving jacket #1/2, and the one in #6 on you.</p> <p>(Wow your hair is looking amazing!!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-black-jackets#post-1078467 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 01:48:12 +0000 Debora 1078467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am really loving your hair, Shevia, and how cool your bookending is! I agree with the others, #1 and 6 are my favorites. I am in awe of your bargain hunting skills! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-black-jackets#post-1078348 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 23:52:33 +0000 Mochi 1078348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wish I could get a better look at the booties, but they definitely don't look grotesque to me, heh (sorry, lame). They're cool.&nbsp;</p> <p>Speaking of which, what a great catch in that jacket. It looks fantastic hanging open in the first few pics. Since you're my height, I'm particularly encouraged to see these types of items working for you (even if our body types couldn't be more different). You continue to hone your already-great wardrobe and make it better and better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-black-jackets#post-1078347 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 23:52:25 +0000 Isis 1078347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like you have your jackets sorted out, but wanted to comment on how much I love your hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-black-jackets#post-1078335 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 23:39:49 +0000 TraceyLiz65 1078335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great find and I can see why you felt like squealing , sleeves on me are a problem quite often too.

Period. 1078331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>He he! I love it when I get the pop quiz right! I think you look phenomenal in 1/2 and I really liked 5 too. &nbsp;6, of course, is a given considering 1/2. &nbsp; And then I scrolled down to see Angie's evaluation.&nbsp;</p> <p>Shevia, your haircut has grown longer, but it still looks phenomenal on you. I think is such a perfect fit with your style: a touch masculine but somehow very feminine. And so joyous! Every time I look at your pictures, you make me smile. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-black-jackets#post-1078261 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 22:08:33 +0000 No Fear of Fashion 1078261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are all great with a slight preference for 2 (Theory is such a good brand!. But of course so is Max Mara.). Perhaps because of the length and the way it hangs.<br />Great look.<br />Greetje </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-black-jackets#post-1078224 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 21:41:56 +0000 Mia 1078224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 and #6. &nbsp;I have a black jacket "problem" so I'd probably keep all of them but these two are the keepers for sure. &nbsp;Awesome boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-black-jackets#post-1078191 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 21:24:17 +0000 carambola 1078191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore 1 and 6.

I love the Theory and the Lanai the best. The MM and the SB are kind of "grandpa" styles to my eye--they look a little boxy. I prefer the length of the SB if it was between one or the other. Just my 2 cents. I'm definitely not an expert! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-black-jackets#post-1077858 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 16:18:30 +0000 Greyscale 1077858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eeee! I think the Theyskens jacket is the same as the one I already own (not the K/R I posted yesterday). It's possibly&nbsp;my favorite piece of clothing! Is it this one ("jago fruma"), if you can figure it out?<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.barneys.com/Jago-Blazer/501151286,default,pd.html">http://www.barneys.com/Jago-Bl.....lt,pd.html</a><br />96% wool, without a front&nbsp;button, and cut large?</p> <p>I love it on you! It looks great with your hair and your build, and I like how you styled it with straight jeans.</p> <p>I scrunched the sleeves on mine for a few years then just last week brought it to the tailor. My arms are short enough that she could cut the sleeves above&nbsp;all four buttons so it was an easy alteration.</p> <p>Now I'm inspired to wear mine more. I was in a way too casual setting for the past year so it stayed in my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-black-jackets#post-1077792 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 15:24:19 +0000 Angie 1077792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today's Treat: Shevia's Outfits. xoxo</p> <p>*happy face*</p> <p>I'm with you on loving the Theyskens Theory Jacket. WOW. What a find.&nbsp;I squealed with you.&nbsp;Will you be able to alter the length of the&nbsp;sleeves a little? They look great scrunched though. A spectacular piece, that matches the spectacular texture of your hair. Fab juxtaposition.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also love #5.&nbsp;</p> <p>And you are an 11 out of 10 in #6. Love you in the "Lanai".&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-black-jackets#post-1077748 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 14:39:32 +0000 Ornella 1077748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to run to school and hope to be back here to check things in detail. But I had to laugh at "<span>...<i>been busy collecting an entire set of new (to me) black jackets...</i></span>"</p> <p>Great hobby </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-black-jackets#post-1077737 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 14:32:21 +0000 Anonymous 1077737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As someone who owns way too many black jackets, I think you should definitely keep the Theory, and seriously consider keeping 5 or 3/4 or both as coats. Great haul! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-black-jackets#post-1077714 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 14:14:50 +0000 Parsley 1077714@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can anyone really have too many black jackets? ;-)<br />The Theysken's Theory one looks fabulous, and of course I like your Topshop one.</p> <p>I think I like the MaxMara one, too, but I always have trouble telling with pictures of&nbsp;&nbsp;black clothes.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Sharon Brunsher one looks kind of big, from what I can tell.</p> <p>Will you get the sleeves shortened on whichever ones you keep? It would be nice to be able to wear them down if you wanted to, even though you might usually scrunch them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-black-jackets#post-1077705 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 14:09:30 +0000 Suz 1077705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. What an interesting set of pictures! Love your comment about the booties -- those are great! I have never heard of Grotesque. But those are cool. How high are the shaft and the heel?</p> <p>I am useless on the jackets because I love them all. Except the sleeve length would drive me batty. I push my sleeves up, too, but need them to work full length as well and always have them altered if they don't work. Unless I can't, in which case I have to return the jacket (I am looking at you, BR Tux jacket...)</p> <p>So...I would keep 1/2 for sure, especially if it is different weight from the Topshop. I like the Max Mara as well and think it has a very different vibe. And the other one is sort of coat-length....so why don't you just keep them all? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-black-jackets#post-1077696 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 13:59:05 +0000 Anonymous 1077696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*<i>I think these are what would look like if I were a pair of shoes</i>* Ha! I love that!<br />Anyway, onto the jackets... I think I am swaying to #1 and #2 the most.<br />And what you actually wore in #6 is fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-black-jackets#post-1077654 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 13:11:52 +0000 Jaime 1077654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I should have mentioned the sleeves - I just take that for granted. In my defense the average price of the three new jackets is $36. The TT was the relative splurge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-black-jackets#post-1077652 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 13:10:12 +0000 Alexandra 1077652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1-2 the best, but that jacket is very similar to #6, without being quite as flattering. Great boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-black-jackets#post-1077649 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 13:08:32 +0000 Anonymous 1077649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that's a haul of jackets! I love the TT one on you, but the sleeves are a touch long, but I know you are a fellow scruncher :)</p> <p>The Max Mara one is nice, but I like the TT one better.</p> <p>The vibe of the Sharon Brunsher is totally different but I see why you picked it up.</p> <p>Love the Topshop one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---a-lot-of-black-jackets#post-1077648 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 13:08:11 +0000 Jaime 1077648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are right Amy. Sleeves are always too long for me and I usually push them up&nbsp;so I don't take that into account - I think the sleeves are long on me on all of them. Glad you liked the first one too! </p>
