I have some questions for all of you, especially the frequent RTW buyers! Do you get your jacket altered every time or are there sometimes you just take it as is?

Also, if anyone has try-on pics of this navy jacket please share!

My SA suggests alteration every time because I’m a true size 32. Jackets that are meant to be fitted always have to be altered at the shoulder, back and sleeve length. Jeans/skirts have to be taken in and hemmed. Sometimes I do take cardigans or less structured jackets as is if they look intentionally oversized
 
Thoughts on this jacket? Has anyone tried it on?
I have not tried it. It looks great on the model. However, I think it would be difficult — unless you are built like a model — to carry this kind of silhouette. I’m too biased though to render an objective opinion. Bc for someone my age, this brings back an eighties shape (double breasted short jacket, worn open) which didn’t work on me the first time around. I’d be interested to see action shots from someone who has tried it :)

Good points! I love the simplistic design but agree think it could be tricky to pull off.

I went today and my store purchased neither! 😭 Those were my top picks too. I tried on this coco beach denim bag and this 25p dress today though.
