Fall Jacket

P: 10/19/2007 2:23:41 PM
dixie94 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,931 Last Post: 6/8/2009 Member Since: 2/10/2006	Hi, I am receiving a fall jacket as an upcoming bday gift and not sure which way to go. I want something warm enough but not as warm as a winter jacket/coat. Since fall in the Midwest can get cool, I think denim or other lightweight jackets might not work for me. I was thinking leather but not sure. I am thinking something around hip length. My style is fairly simple, I tend to go for more classic styles than something extra trendy or modern. I would like to be able to try it on vs ordering online, if possible just b/c I am very picky and since it's someone else's money, don't want to have to return, try again, etc... Any ideas? Thanks!

dixie94 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,931 Last Post: 6/8/2009 Member Since: 2/10/2006	Thanks Ebree, for the suggestions. I do like the first one but I'm thinking of going w/brown or an alternate shade b/c I tend to buy jackets in black so often. I don't know, I guess I want the difficult combination of something a little different but not so different that I can only wear it w/one or two things. I guess that's my general problem..quite picky! Anyone else have any ideas? What do your fall jackets look like?

asscher_girl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 679 Last Post: 11/19/2009 Member Since: 6/29/2006	Hi Dixie, I love my fall/winter coat. I bought it while we were still living in Atlanta last year (now in N. CA) and I love it. It's not that thick but it is wool with a cute lining. The boutique I bought it at has the same coat again this year I think just the buttons are different. I have it in black but I want to get winter white too. And the price is right, $88 !!! http://www.fabrikstyle.com/store/product.asp?pid=10953&catid=1103

Ebree and Starset Princess, thanks for the pictures and ideas! Alexis, I hope to find a good deal too and need to get out there and start looking. Anyone else have pics of their jackets or other ideas? Thanks!

Skippy123 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 19,828 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 11/24/2006	Dixie, I bought a black pea coat from Jones NYC and it has lasted me about 10 years and it still looks great. The wool is very nice so it was the best $200 I spent; they might have some at your local Macy's or Dillards.

monarch64 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 9,555 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 8/12/2005	Another option...this is from Nordie's online and is $138. It's a washed velvet which I think is beautiful and super versatile. I actually had a Gallery 3/4 length single breasted black velvet jacket similar to this a few years ago, and somehow managed to lose it when we moved from our apt to our house (oh how I loved that jacket, for the price it really looked much more expensive and was great with jeans or workwear). What do ya think? I know you mentioned wanting hip-length, but you could potentially get this hemmed (it's not lined I don't think so it wouldn't be too expensive to alter it), and as a 36c I wore a medium, so I think a large would fit you in the bust area Dix.

I really love the look and think it will be my new favorite jacket. I love velvet and I love black. Not like I don't have enough black/dark anyway lol. I have a black peacoat but sometimes it feels bulky; this one doesn't look too bulky so I think it's a nice choice for a medium length coat. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ May you live all the days of your life. -Swift

monarch64 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 9,555 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 8/12/2005	Ha ha, Sera, your ff definitely sounds like my DH with the whole "if you're a nice/good girl" thing! It's rare that I ask DH for anything at all, typically I just buy what I want and he knows that, so I think he gets a kick out of getting to surprise me sometimes! Your ff is probably the same way! It really is a cute jacket, and so versatile, I can picture it with dark jeans and metallic heels with a fun top for a night out when it's chilly, or I can see it with tall black boots and a a knee-length skirt with a button-down and cardigan for work...or wide-legged slacks and a fitted sweater...the list goes on, lol! And obviously it's a reasonable price so I'm guessing it won't last long (note to self: remind DH about it once more just in case it sells out quick!) Dang, I really need to stop posting my most coveted items here! I would've gone ahead and ordered it a few days ago but alas, I have had to set a budget for clothing purchases this fall...and I have my eye on a very gorgeous J. Crew coat again since I love the last one I bought so much, and it's a wee bit higher priced than this Gallery one, DH might take issue with me buying myself two jackets/coats so close to Christmas. He tries to keep me out of trouble, he really does... "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." Henry David Thoreau

They didn't actually sew the buttons on, just wrapped the thread around them!! Oy. And the color is almost black; doesn't look purple at all. Had to replace it with this one from Nordstrom's-- sure hope the quality is better!
