remember this jacket from zara? i blogged about it back in october, and jermaine jackson also wore the wool version to an awards ceremony. it was sold out back then, but reader selina emailed me to say it has been restocked at her local zara store in dublin this week, and her husband bought one too.
and so after work on friday, i made my way to zara in london to try my luck.
the staff mentioned that the jacket was only delivered today, and is already flying off the shelves. this was the last one in my size! i don't know if i shrank lately, or that sizes were off for the clothes i tried, but i went a size down and tried on "s", which i thought fitted really well.
the jacket had metallic buttons, not plastic, so that's a good start. i did not mind really, but for those interested, the jacket is made of synthetic leather. and probably because it is synthetic, they were able to achieve that level of softness. it really did feel like napa leather. the jacket retails for £99.
i like the jacket, but somehow i just think i can't pull it off. i can't quite put my finger to it, and as i deliberated, i decided to sleep over it. but i know it wouldn't be there anymore if ever i should return to the store.
thanks selina for the tip-off. hope your husband rock the jacket well!

Oh Joe, that fits you very well! I love it too:-)
ReplyDeletemaybe because of how dark everything is, oddly enough i dont find it crazy.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks amazing. Hmm maybe it's just all the buttons that's throwing you off, but I like it!
ReplyDeleteI think I can empathise. I haven't tried it on myself but something about the combination of faux-leather and a military style just doesn't gel here.

ReplyDeleteactually, considering that zara in london has a pretty good returns policy, why not buy first and then return it when you decide for sure?
