yeah, i'm not a fan of the patch pockets either. i'm wondering if they can be removed without making it too obvious. i'm also on the lookout for a version in the same material with **** pockets.

Ann Demeulemeester coat.

Financially crushing at full retail. Still on the fence, I'm afraid if I email for measurements I'm gonna pull the trigger. Does anyone have experience with Ann D outerwear?


yes, and it's glorious :satisfied:
but "finance crushing" of the self is not something i'd get involved in lol

lol! well, i wouldn't necessarily need a bailout, but i've never dropped more than $1k on a coat. it's also hard to imagine wearing it anytime soon as it was 90deg here yesterday.

that said, one detail i really like is the double slits for all the buttons. it looks like you could close it up tighter if you're not layering much underneath.

here's one with side **** pockets, but it costs $300 more and the color/material doesn't look as nice.

If you making bank go ahead. If you may have to tighten reins a bit afterwards then I would hold onto my money. Christmas and thanksgiving coming up too.

I'm new to SF, but would anybody mind telling me if you think this jacket is a good buy for $79. Wool body with leather sleeves. It's used but's in good shape.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Think of the joy that will fill them seeing their begetter steezing out of control, what gift could equal that?

If you think it's one of those things you're going to regret in the future if you don't cop (grail), then grab it if you have the means. The fabrics that Ann uses are wonderful.

I think it depends on context. I like patch pockets on some casual blazers, and they make sense on some types of jackets. On that coat, they look like they add unnecessary bulk to the hip area. Unless you're into that. :smarmy:
