Reviews on Jackets - YouLookFab Forum

I always think I'll be able to resist the Anniversary Sale, and yet here I go again! I tried to add them as finds, and I am unable to do so. Finds tells me to log in to YLF, and I AM logged in.

I ordered three jackets: the Treasure and Bond Leather Blazer, the Blanc Noir Faux Leather Hooded Moto jacket, and the Sam Edelman Oversize Faux Shearling Moto Jacket.

The blazer runs generous. It is incredibly soft leather with a blue lining. The sleeves seem unusually big in the arms, especially in the lower arm. I ordered two sizes, and this was the larger of the two, so i will see if the smaller fits any better. The sleeves are long on me, but I have short arms.

The hooded jacket is UNLINED. That makes it uncomfortable for me, and it looks awful when you take it off because the back side of the fabric is lighter than the front and the seams are clearly visible. The sleeves are quite long, but with the thumb holes they're also intended to cover part of the hands, so it makes sense. It fits like a workout jacket - slim and longer in the body with zips to loosen it at each rear hip. The arms and shoulders are generous. I like the style, but being unlined is a deal-breaker.

The Sam Edelman is fantastic! The shearling is shorter and will wear better than many other faux shearlings. The faux leather is very soft and feels nice. It is NOT oversized as it says in the description, but it does feel slightly generous and fits well. As with everything for me, the sleeves are long, but the shearling allows them to be rolled again without changing the look. It is definitely a keeper for me.

I'm still waiting on another size in the blazer, a couple of dresses, a couple of leggings and a few tops. I'll post reviews after I receive them.

That blazer looks so cool!

The blazer looks really interesting! It reminds me a bit of Transcona Shannon's black Danier blazer. The cut is different but there is something equally cool about it.

Really like the Edelman, too. Looking forward to seeing more.

I am waiting on the Edelman jacket with the red fleece lining. I ordered it and then saw it in the store (not the right size to try on, sadly). I am not convinced on the faux leather, which felt a little squishy to me, but I am still eager to try it on. It is so different from anything I have seen out there. If it was real leather I could not afford it anyway!

Another reviewer said the sleeves were very long but could be rolled. I have short little t-rex arms, so I am skeptical. But that red lining is SO GOOD.

I tried on the Edelman jacket just out of curiosity, and it is really nice. The red is a really lovely rich red (not too bright or warm).

The blazer is intriguing! If I had any need for a blazer, that would be up my alley.

Too bad about the unlined jacket, but I totally understand why that didn’t work.

Roberta: Some online reviewers have said that the faux leather of the Sam Edelman is too soft and gives them the creeps. I did not find that to be true. It IS soft, and not quite a texture I've found in faux leather before, but it sure beats the usual dry "weathered" look a lot of faux shearling has. It works for me, but YMMV.

As for sleeves, I, too, am T-Rexy. The arms on almost EVERYTHING are too long for me. But although this jacket comes with the red shearling showing at the cuffs, it can easily be rolled again without changing the look to accommodate shorter arms.

YAY. NAS Jacket Fun, Echo.

I bet the smaller size will work better in the blazer. Keep us posted.

LOVE that a the SE jacket works well. That brand makes great affordable toppers. I wore my SE parka into the ground last season.

The shearling jackets have got me going crazy. I really would like one! Or boots! Warmth, yay! So glad you like yours. It looks like a great winter jacket with a dollop of fun. I need to find a plain one (not oversized or with red) because I’m on a classic kick right now.

The leather blazer looks so cool. I wish you well with the smaller size.

I am in love with the style of the hooded one. Anything that’s asymmetrical is like candy to me. Sorry to hear it is not comfortable and I would not want something unlined either. Onward!

is the blazer sold out? I can't find it on the site.

Unfortunately, Liz, the blazer has shown as "Sold Out" most of the time since the sale started. I tend to keep a window up with the item I want in it and refresh periodically. They DO come back into stock, presumably from returns, now and then. I clearly got lucky twice, as I was able to order two different sizes (and they weren't cancelled!).

Again, I'd list it as a find so it would be clickable, but finds is not working for me. But this is the page (currently showing as sold out, but perhaps with patience it will come back):
