New Talbots Jacket: Keep or Return

I'm almost hesitant to post this because I like it and don't want to return it, but... I got this yesterday. It's a really nice summer weight moto-style jacket. I have a lot of jackets but nothing like this.

It's not as neon as it looks in this.

I know I'm not really supposed to wear it like this because the little buttons show, but it's fun for another option.

Beautiful color...do you like the fit?

Rosie

Hmmm, Angie, I am not sure why you can't see it. Sometimes MobileMe is finicky, but I checked the links... It is this one in the Adriatic (on model):

not sure what you mean by "I'm not supposed to wear it like this...." but that's the look I like best. I don't care for it all closed up as much. Either just that top button done or the lower button like in that one pic.

I switched to another browser and could see the jacket. It's fabulous! Wear it with white :0)

Oh goodie! It will look really good with white - a bright look for sure.

Kim, I NEVER wear jackets all buttoned up unless I'm freezing, so chances are it will never be like that. The jacket confuses me a little bit because the construction makes it seem like it should be worn either moto style or as a blazer with the lapels down. It works really well that way. Yet, the buttons on the jacket are the kind that are held on by the little buttons on the opposite side. Does that make more sense? So, when I have the lapels down, you can see the little buttons. I'm gonna wear it like that anyway, though, perhaps get the buttons replaces.
