Purseluv, I have a couple SWORD jackets, though not the Novara. They are made in Italy and the leather is fantastic! The Novara is made to fit snugly (like the Lucca I have) and I would say they are TTS (remember they fit snug- if you like room for layers with bulk, you might want to size up).
It doesn't look like there is much flare on the Novara's sleeves. The Joie jacket looks to have more flare.
I used to have the gray Balenciaga. Really beautiful jacket, but I didn't like it on me. I felt it was too bulky on my small frame. I also have broad shoulders for my size so I try to stay away from padding and excess bulk. I love, love, love it on other people though! I prefer Rick Owens and SWORD on myself. The SWORD jackets are the perfect lighter, more feminine weight and cut, while still being just "hard" enough. Just my 2 cents. Hope you find something you love!
