I wore my silk+wool bar jacket today, paired with cropped jeans and pointy boots.
As I wear it for a while here are some observations:
- very constructed (in a good way) with heavy canvas inside
- narrow armholes and limited room in the chest area. I'm b/w 34 and 36 so I took 36 and made the sleeves a bit shorter
- The cinch from the back to the waist is what makes the bar jacket very feminine
It is very different from the jackets I've already owned, so it's a nice addition.
I also tried on the houndstooth jacket from the new season...the fabric is very stiff, otherwise it's lovely.
