An investment piece needs to be perfect, right? It ain't. Love the scarf!

I am sad for you. But if it is any consolation I tried about a dozen leather jackets before I found the right one. And about four dozen navy Blazers.

How disappointing. Beautiful colour. There will be a jacket for you somewhere.
I spent 4 months looking for shoes for a wedding that is happening in about 2 weeks. Finally found some yesterday. It pays to be picky.

The LaMarque (Find 1) came yesterday, and I didn't even bother to take photos. The fit was weird. Big in the shoulders, tight across the armpits, small at the hip, big at the waist. Weird. The color also felt dull, rather than the broken-in I'd hoped for.

Onward. What do you all think of Finds 2 and 3 from Macy's? These are both by Guess and both go up to XXL (!!) so I could actually size up if necessary, but if they're really TTS, the L or XL would fit, according to size charts (okay, let's be honest, XL, if I want to zip it over my bust).

Ooohh they look like good contenders. I like the zipper in the center if you plan to wear it open most of the time.

If it's free shipping, bring on the two from Macy's! The first one with its slanted zippers and more open neckline looks like it would be particularly flattering, but the second one looks flatteringly streamlined as well. You'll never know until you try. Hope you can order them using Macy's coupon codes.

Agree with Liz. At this point, if you're ordering one to try, may as well try both.

They look really nice. Try them both!

Okay! I ordered them both in two sizes. Unlike Nordstrom, I have a local Macy's, so returns will be easy. (And yes, Donna, Macy's coupon code gave me another 25% off the sale price!)

Sorry the the Bernardo did not work out. The two new options from Macy's look fabulous... and are a lot like the Bernardo in terms of richness/depth of color. I especially love the moto style one. Keeping fingers crossed for you.

You all are seriously giving me the will to keep trying. Thank you for not letting me settle!

Can't wait to see the new options on you. Hope Macy's ships fast

Kudos to you for being patient.

Crossing fingers.

I wish I could help out with Danier (Canadian leather fabness) but they went out of business last winter!!! Arghhhh!!!

I like both the Macy's jackets. My fingers are crossed for you!

I like both Macy's jackets, too. I probably would go for the center zipper as Liz suggested, but really whichever one fits better.

Don't settle! I really like the Macy's jackets. Good luck!

I admire your stamina, Jenn:-) But you are so right not to settle. The perfect one is out there.
And yes, the Macy's jackets are totally worth a try. I am so holding thumbs for you!!

Both the Macy's jackets look great. I hope they ship fast. I am still waiting for something from the NAS.
