Well out of my price range and they do not ship to the US anyway as far as I can tell...

I am most especially enamored of this blue velvet one:

Gah! I would wear every one of these! What would you call this style? Neo-Victorian-mod? It's like Allsaints meets Austen. I am DYING!

Gorgeous! I love this look. Although must admit that I find longer jackets harder to wear - they look good with skinnies in an equestrian style, but then I start to run out of ideas. How do you wear this style?

These jackets are wonderful. I particularly like the houndtooth. On their FAQ it says if you contact them they will ship anywhere in the world. Must keep wallet tucked away!

Wow. I would wear just about every jacket pictured there. I'm tempted to try sewing some knock-offs. Would be challenging, but oh so worth it. Thanks for the link!!

Una, I could totally see you in these! Neo-victorian was what I was thinking myself. I found this site via an interesting interview with the designer (on a knitting blog, actually!) where she describes the style as "British eclectic."

Sharon, I would wear this type of jacket not only as you have described, equestrian inspired w/ skinnies and boots, but also in a more Victorian/Edwardian way with a hitched skirt/dress and lace up boots.

Hello, blue velvet! Just gorgeous.

I've really been digging a lot of UK brands lately. I'll take a plane ticket, too - and a wad of spending money, please!

Drool.... If I thought there was any chance their clothes would fit me, I'd be swinging by when I'm in London.

Oooohhhhh, Una. Your post has pulled me out of hiding. LOVE these.

I especially adore the navy hacking jacket:

And the Check Flossie frock coat:

Now I'm going to my happy place to imagine a budget that could include these...

Beth, Diana started it (*in toddler voice*)! But yes, I can see so many of us in these jackets - they seem to cover a wide range of styles somehow. You would rock those long coats!

Don't do this to me! Works of art, every one of them, in my estimation. LOVE!!

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!

THat's it. The YLF conference HAS to be in the UK!!!

I would wear every single one of these! Maybe the company would sponsor a YLF get-together and buy us each one of their jackets.

They are gorgeous. I really like the blue you linked but this one too. It is very similar but a bit less glam.

Don't despair, citygirldc; C&R WILL ship to the US. My Barberry coat (a Christmas gift from my DH) is on its way here as I write.

Very nice! A little bit steampunk, perhaps?

I have a very frumpy grey flannel suit jacket that I have been pondering chopping up to make a hacking-style jacket. Although perhaps I should try some other sewing projects first before I ruin it...

Diana, I'm working up my nerve to post photos. When I do, I promise to post a photo of the beautiful Barberry coat. Maybe even the Bailey 44 tiered striped dress!
