Ari, thank you as always for your "field" reports
I also tried on a few and here are my findings:
1. The "rock" long jackets (with nonfunctional buttons) all have no chains inside. I wonder what the rules are for the chains?
The black jacket with white stitches is heavier with wool whereas the white with black threads is of cotton tweed, for the most part. So the weight is different. The black also has collar. I will wait for my size to decide.
2. The black jacket with bottons on the lower half and hook and eye on the upper half is 100% synthetic in fabric and cotton + silk lining. Also no chain. I like the design, more flattering than I thought, but I feel that they are cutting corners with fabric?
3. The lesage jacket is niiiiice and I will likely get it. It is generous in size.
4. The silk crepe jacket with white trims is short...but not too cropped. The black jacket with fancy black trims is too cropped for me.
5. The lesage fabric with coco chanel written all over it is amazing. Too bad they didn't make a jacket in this fabric.

And Ari you should get the metiers coat if you haven't...and Chanel should have you featured in their next campaign. You look amazing.
Love the looks on you Ari !!! The pink jacket is so awesome.
The long jacket doesn’t have a chain, I wonder why perhaps. Maybe it’s long enough they don’t feel it needs help hanging ? The KS jacket does have a chain.

Oh, that’s great observation and review! I didn’t notice these things! As my husband says my heart rate increases when I enter Chanel and I don’t notice cold and forget my aching feet, hahaha! Too bad about missing chain! I think this slightly asymmetric buttons are also somewhat easier to make. I even asked one designer about it, and she confirmed that.Ari, thank you as always for your "field" reports

I was so overwhelmed that forgot to try the black crepe jacket with white trims.Not that I don’t like it, it’s just don’t want to buy it for some reason. Did you see the graige blazer?
Thank you Brooklynite! Yes that coat is perfect. Still thinking about it. Problem is that here the fall and spring are becoming very short and I don’t have much time to wear light coats. This year even jacket weather was short, from cold winter it went to hot summer.
Thank you pigleto!
I thought this jacket was interesting. Almost like a pea coat. I didn’t take it.
I did get this silk shirt. It was too exquisite to leave behind!
That silk shirt is beautiful. I need a good cream top to wear under my jackets !
. Well “need”I had my cruise appointment today! The boutique only had about 30% of the collection in. I’m typically US size 8/Chanel 42 for jackets.
Pink Jacket: I’m under 5’5 and the length wasn’t a problem. Gorgeous, but passed because I don’t think I’d be able to achieve good cost per wear. Very tempting tho.
Sofia Jacket: Beautiful, but runs small.The boutique only had a 38, but I needed a 44. Really nice LBJ option.
Collection Hoodie: I took this guy home. I love the lion and constellation details! Very comfy.

This is just exquisite! I have the jacket in the tweed.My metiers coat is back from alterations. My son called it "the queen jacket".
Thank you the kind lady who provided me with the details on this coat. You know who you are, and I will always think of you when I wear this coat
The coat is simply stunning and the fit amazing. I had not seen it and i think I prefer it to the jacket. Thank you for the photos!My metiers coat is back from alterations. My son called it "the queen jacket".
