Thanks :)</p> <p>It's the sleeve WIDTH that's worrying me, as well as the length of the coat and roomy mid section. I vote have it altered and you WILL have it in your wardrobe forever </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-vintage-coat#post-669932 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 14:36:25 +0000 Deborah 669932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, you are not a spanner at all! I have considered altering this, even having it shortened but I find it hard making a final decision. I didn't take other photos but the sleeve length is perfect however it's very roomy in the mid section. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-vintage-coat#post-669927 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 14:31:56 +0000 Angie 669927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debs, I'm sorry to be a spanner and a mare :(</p> <p>May I see the coat without your hands in your pockets. Something about the sleeves and length is very overwhelming (you even hinted at that). </p> <p>I do love the fabric and styling of the coat though. Perhaps you can have it altered to fit better. Vintage coats like this need to fit 100% - at least I think so. </p> <p>Once again, I am sorry to be a mare because I know you just love this coat. So let's make it work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-vintage-coat#post-669917 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 14:24:24 +0000 JR 669917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice. Simple, well0cut overcoats are hard to beat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-vintage-coat#post-669843 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 13:22:50 +0000 Transcona Shannon 669843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you know you had me at the word "vintage"! Stunning Deborah. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-vintage-coat#post-669807 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 11:58:39 +0000 Deborah 669807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn I have had it for a really long time and I have a vague recollection of picking it up at a Savers store (I think):) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-vintage-coat#post-669804 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 11:53:29 +0000 Lyn D. 669804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A lovely coat Deborah! Where did it come from? It is so nice to see a 'winter white' when the weather is so bleak, and your scarfs can really be a feature with this as a backdrop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-vintage-coat#post-669792 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 11:16:30 +0000 Ornella 669792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it and I agree this deserves a place in your wardrobe for many years to come. Gorgeous texture, very classic shape and the color/pattern that offers many styling possibilities. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-vintage-coat#post-669778 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 10:01:41 +0000 Jjsloane 669778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. Definitely a longterm keeper. So classic it won't go out of style and so unique it is irreplaceable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-vintage-coat#post-669717 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 06:24:57 +0000 jayne 669717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes we are allowed to keep those things we love despite their imperfections..like husbands, clothes, and favorite ugly slippers...(I am not posting them here...half chewed by dog but still loved) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-vintage-coat#post-669711 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 05:59:54 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 669711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-vintage-coat#post-669708 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 05:30:02 +0000 Deborah 669708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alecia you are very sweet!

We went through a week of really cold weather lows of below zero snd highs of 7 or 8 (unusual ) - so I can really appreciate bundling up. Thank goodness it's warmed up this week but is raining - hope you get the warmer weather minus the rain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-my-vintage-coat#post-669683 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 04:30:18 +0000 Parsley 669683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That coat is just beautiful on you, Deborah!

Hope this doesn't make you feel uncomfortable lol</p> <p>I love coats! I recent sold a couple of vintage coats as I really didn't need or wear them but this one is my favourite. And I'm wearing it today to do errands and go thrifting with Master 9. </p> <p>It's a little oversized but at least I'm not wearing ankle/crop pants with it *wink*</p> <p>I love the shape, the weave of the fabric and the length, and it's warm:)</p> <p>Really just wanted to share as I think this will be in my wardrobe for ever lol</p> <p>Thanks for looking<br /> xxx Deborah </p>
