Thanks for your input - I'm feeling much better :p

:graucho: I got the SAME Sailbiker jacket that I just purchased a couple of weeks ago on the US NAP site. The price difference is SUBSTANTIAL in my book - like $700.

Nice! For what it's worth: I had shoes shipped from London to NYC during the Summer sale and the shoes ended up making it to NYC before I did. I couldn't have asked for more. I wouldn't recommend it if you're not sure of the size as recovering the taxes and duties is probably a pain, but that's obviously not relevant in your case.

I ordered the same jacket this morning because I couldn't resist the price. I never liked it on pictures, but you convinced me to give it a go IRL.

YEAH! I'm so glad that I could be of service to you, my dear. I hope you are happy with the jacket - the price point IS so hard to resist. The style is such a nice riff of the classic, which appealed to me. AND, the soft hand of the leather is lovely. Let me know your thoughts upon arrival.

Thanks for the coaching about the hassle of a return with the UK site, I will keep this in mind for the future.

Gosh, I hope I'm not too late in responding.
I normally wear a 42 in the classic style. There was a lot of excess material around the torso in this Sailbiker style, which was okay - but you really couldn't see the unique cut of the jacket. Thus, I ordered the 40 and feel that this is the best size for me. The only REAL difference for me was the fit of the sleeves. Tighter on the 40, but still manageable. The shoulder area was fine as well as the length. I suppose it's returnable IF it doesn't work for you????? Worth the hassle????

Thanks for the comments but they are sold out already by this morning (not surprised with such a mark down)

For international order, I will try to avoid return and exchange as this will be a nighmare to claim back the taxes and duties....

So...you are buying the exact same color as the one you modelled earlier?

Oh poo......
Yes, same color, different size. I modeled the size 42. Have yet to post pics of the 40.

So the jacket arrived today... and it's not for me. As much as my beloved classic biker flatters me, this one does the complete opposite. I felt like a bag of potatoes. Meh.

My money's going to an amazing pair of Ann boots :love:.

^^Boy, that was FAST. Are you also on the East Coast? DHL stopped by today to deliver, but I was out. Didn't expect to get it so soon. Will be excited to see it tomorrow.

Alas - you gave the jacket a good try, and now you know for sure it's not for you. So, which Ann boots are they??? Give us a good look-see, please.

I'm back in Europe for now, so shipping (even ground) is quick.
The Ann boots are the runway ones, but with a lower heel. These fit better than those with the heel.

Jenskar, that is PRETTY! Love love the draping.

Totokaelo just did a final round of reductions in their winter sale- there's some Rick stuff at 50% off including the DNA Dust and black sailbikers. I'm so tempted but am sitting on my hands! This shop has my number in a big way- I love their styling so much.

Top arrived -- wonderful! And the fabric is so much nicer than the beige one I sent back last summer, which had a crumpled feeling about it that didn't seem like it would hang out.

And, having gotten measurements on the bag I had my eye on from L'inde de Palais -- I ordered this tonight. They have a woman's version in a great looking brown that is a bit larger, but I really needed a basic black bag. Turns out they only had one!

Interesting, I have been eying up the new season's bags as well. I really like the new look of them. Well done on snagging the last one! Though I don't really get how it can be the last one since they just went on sale! I'd love to hear what you think about the leather and quality in general, and also to see pics if you have time.

I asked them for dimensions of this one but their response was that they didn't have it yet so didn't know. I don't think it has an inside pocket though which isn't great:

This one is my favourite though, I almost bought last season's version of it and I'm so glad I didn't now, this one is nicer and has an inside pocket which the other didn't:

I'm not in a mad rush to get it so will hang on for a bit and see if The Corner does any discounts.

And good news about the top!

I didn't really get the SOLD OUT thing either, unless they only got 1? Which I guess is possible. They had a Givenchy Pandora in the crinkled lamb about 10% under US retail, and I thought about that for 1/2 a day and it was gone.

I'll let you know what it's like and take some detail shots when it comes. Did you see the brown one with contrast stitching in the women's section? That one is quite a bit larger than the men's version at 40 x 45 and 20 deep (I'm getting good at the cm/inch conversion!) I was so tempted but I really need a good black bag. My workhorse Henry Beguelin is just toast -- corners worn through to the red lining. So sad :(

I did like the one you posted at the Corner -- the outside zip pocket looked handy -- is that what you meant?

All kudos to dcblam for her eagle eye and PM when she spied the top in my size. The shop guy in South Carolina emailed me and asked how I found them. I told him I was part of a cult! :graucho:
