Well, think I'm going to return my Alpaca coat to AReM, just don't think I like the colorway I got enough, and might just pick up that "Hood Coat" instead.


Good choice, I honestly think the only alpaca one that looks good is the anthracite.

Really? I have the brown tweed one and I love the way it looks. I think some of the coats don't look as great in photos but in person they (at least, mine does) have an awesome texture.

That said...

Being that I almost always wear jeans, I don't think I'm getting my money's worth out of it, so I'm 50/50 on selling it. Would anyone be interested in a brown tweed size V alpaca coat? I probably wore it like three times, one of those things I loved in theory too much to pass on but didn't actually wear. PM me

Haha, I don't think so, I'm trying to fund another purchase that I totally don't need and was taking an assessment of what I own that doesn't get worn. The schneider mohair cardi is the other thing potentially on the chopping block fwiw.

Was that the dark grey chunky cardigan? What size did you get and what size do you typically wear in sweaters/tops? I can't recall off hand and I have the images on my PC at home :embar:

Are SS shipments typically split in two? So outerwear won't be available until Oct or so?

Fit looks good and pretty much spot on for how it's intended.
Get what you mean by it feeling boxy, though. I've had two very nice SS cardis that I sold instantly. Didn't feel comfortable in the wide/oversized cut.

What a waste.

Now that it has touched your body I don't even want it anymore. That jacket could have been mine...
