I tried both as well and took the all back. I thought it ran a little big and took a 40 and altered it. I have pictures of both on the thread if anyone wants to see them.
I loved the fit of the black jacket on you even without the alteration. I hesitated in the beginning about this jacket due to the red trims of the pockets and puffy shoulders, but it looked so nice on you in your picture so I reconsidered and added it. Turned out that I love it more than the white and sequined one I got from 21a. The tweed is so beautiful and seems lasting with low maintenance. I still wonder how come the shoulders did not look puffy on you. Maybe I should get alteration done a little to the sleeves.
Neimans just sent out an email about new fall items and I was browsing while eating my lunch and I saw this- remind you of anything? So I ordered it out of curiosity- could be cute at a fraction of the cost. I will report back when I get it. I have a navy blue blazer of theirs from a couple years back
and it fits nicely, a Balmain inspiration but not bad for the price. Clearly I need to get back to work!

Thank you! I think I posted the picture of the jacket pinned for alteration. The sleeve/shoulder does have a nice puff and it isn't too exaggerated. I didn't change it at all. I did get the sleeve shortened and the back taken in a little. I love this one because for my climate it is an all year round weight and I didn't find it that heavy. The glittery jacket is too much like a cardigan IMO and I really didn't think that it worked into my current life style.
Really cute!! I know, I am sitting here thinking about the concept of a denim jacket for $4200!
GK, the C denim version is SO BEAUTIFUL- I thought about it too! My store sold out of it instantly so I thought "why not" when I saw the VB copy. I really like the concept of a slim fitting denim jacket- I hope you get to try on the "real " one at your store!
I took a look at it at NM. Site says it runs large. Looks short on the model.
My husband lobbied for me to get the jacket but I am not really a Jean jacket gal and I need to try to be good. It is really really pretty though. I rather loved the skirt more but it was a 46.
The thing about a jean jacket is that it goes with everything and therein lies the problem lol! It is so much easier to grab it to run out the door as opposed to one of my C jackets. My go-to jean jacket is one I bought 15+years ago. I bought it at Bloomies on sale and it wears like iron.
It looked soooo good on you Pigleto!
Oh my goodness thanks Grace. It was definitely flattering 
shoulders were perfect ! Def not true to size for me

Understand this completely - My DH sometimes likes denim (he grew up on a farm) but I’m not a denim gal-
100% city girl- i remind him that is the woman he fell in love with
However, that said, Chanel denim is special, for sure- absolutely loved our ms piggy in her Chanel denim long skirt and jacket !!!

You may find you prefer a cropped jacket in terms of where it hits on your body.
