amazing stroke of luck with jeans--and jacket question

Mochi

Or maybe diligent detective work? But still, luck is a major factor. I found the jeans! I had written about them in a recent post. Somehow "baroque jeans" worked where "floral jeans" "tapestry jeans" etc didn't:

Here they are: Joe's Jeans:

Great price, too! I'm so excited. I grabbed the last larger size.

I really wanted the jeans the most, but I do like the jacket a lot. Here's another look. http://www.lineapelle.com/belt.....ection?p=4

I don't really care about the multimedia composition, though. What I really am in love with is the color (which I could probably easily find) but mostly those CUFFS. I don't know, I always get hung up on some detail. If anyone has any idea of a jacket with these ultra-mod crisp cuffs (the hardware is awesome, too), please let me know.

Crickets (probably). But it never hurts to ask

Thanks in advance!

Another question: do you think the sleeves are leather? I don't care all that much--I do love the thought of leather, but mostly I would like to be able to employ precise search terms. I realize it's hard to make out the material. Would the body be tweed? I've been trying "multimedia jacket" but no luck.

Hmm, it is hard to tell from that detail shot. The cuffs look almost more like shirt cuffs than jacket cuffs, you know? But I hear you, I love a non-restricting sleeve like that that can be loosened, rolled, turned, scrunched, etc.

Now you've got me looking at that rose gold studded bracelet. I'm still really keen on rose gold -- I hope it transcends trend.

Oh, and those jeans are fantastic. I wish I could get away with them, but light color + pattern + too short inseam + my thighs = disaster. I will enjoy vicariously!

I know. I should buy myself a few cuffs as a reward for finding the jeans

Seriously, I am swooning over this whole outfit, and for jewelry, the price on the cuffs is not bad at all. They give major edge and would be so versatile. Could be a signature item and could be stacked/combined in so many ways.

Rose gold is such an exquisite color.

Looking at her left arm in the second pic. I think the material is way too drapey for it to be leather. So maybe it's a sturdy cotton. Gah. Why can't we just easily find whatever we like?

I hear you. Times like that, I wish I were a seamstress/designer. I can come up with awesome ideas for garments, I just need someone to make them for me!

It just looks like a standard cuff turned back. Here are some jackets with tweedy bodies and leather sleeves.

Thank you, anna. Those are some really nice pieces. Here's another I just found. It's a little pricier than the Lafayette but seems *closer* to what I want (and I'm not sure what that is!).

I think I like something RATE in terms of the texture and overall design, but with a slight tweak more structure in my case (need it because I'm an apple). I don't know if this IRO jacket would look good on me, and the color is maybe not as versatile, but maybe this:

I'm not sure of the collar on the Cole Haan.
