Michael Kors Khaki Field Jacket M

I like it and the price but it's too big.

It is a nice looking jacket and a good price; unfortunately not my size (like you, I'd need something smaller). The only thing you'll probably want to make clear on the ebay auction, though, is that it is MICHAEL Michael Kors, which is the off-shoot of Michael Kors, and not the mainline (which is the one that is just called "Michael Kors.") It seems like hair-splitting, I know, but they're actually two totally separate entities. This difference may also be what has limited the amount of potential interest in the jacket (if this were Michael Kors, I'd buy it in a second... but, then again, there'd probably no way you could sell it for $35, since a jacket of this type from the mainline would probably be $500-800.)

It is sort of like D&G vs. Dolce&Gabbana or CK Calvin Klein vs Calvin Klein Collection (or, perhaps more aptly, Armani Exchange vs. Giorgio Armani or Marc Jacobs vs. Marc by Marc Jacobs); similar names and same company, but vastly different products for different markets produced in different facilities. Most of the MICHAEL collection was produced and distributed in major department stores like Dillards, Macy's, etc. with pricepoints about 1/3 of the mainline collection. Michael Kors, on the other hand, goes to Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf, Barney's, etc.

Anyway, of course your pictures are clear and such, but the only reason I mention this is because about three or four years ago I got into trouble with a buyer because I labeled a shirt I was selling as "Gianfranco Ferre" and it was "GFF Gianfranco Ferre" which turned out to be the lower-end diffusion line. I didn't realize that at the time (I had no idea Ferre had so many damn collections), but it was a big headache and I ended up having to refund. So, just my word of advice...

No problem; always happy to help out. I just didn't want you to get into the same headache I had over an innocent and easily-made mistake.

Since Kors isn't really all that well-known for menswear, I think that lots of people have this mix-up with his lines. His womenswear is very well established, but in menswear, he's never really had that sort of definitive style or appeal. Say "Michael Kors" and even a longtime fashion fan won't come up with any menswear definite image.

With Armani, for example, his menswear is established enough that anybody selling an Armani Exchange Polo as "Giorgio Armani Polo Shirt" knows to look out. But, with Kors, it can be just a simple, honest mistake not to realize that MICHAEL Michael Kors and Michael Kors aren't the same thing (and, honestly, I think that the minds behind the MICHAEL line are realizing this too, especially since the line didn't sell well and, in fact, created confusion with the mainline buyers. I think they over-estimated Kors' notoriety amongst department-store brands; almost nobody except fashion-fans even knew who he was and why one should buy his garments).

Anyway, best of luck with the auction. It would be a nice jacket if it's somebody's size. My guess is that retail for it would probably be in the $125-150 bracket, so $35 shipped is a good price. My only worry would be that since the MICHAEL line didn't meet sales expectations in the stores, it has been sent to clearance warehouses like Ross, TJMaxx, Marshalls, etc., so this has diluted the brand image and allure even more (in fact, I think the MICHAEL line may even already be discontinued or quickly heading in that direction).

you are right about the Michael Michael Kors men's line....it only lasted one year but there were a few stand out pieces during that time. There is still a men's collection line...and there is women's collection, women's Michael, not to mention the Kors line.....definitely confusing if you don't know the differences!
