[weibaobai]

I have a Zara right by where I work and have tried on this jacket several times on my lunch breaks over the past week. I love it, but I don't need it, so I'm trying to talk myself out of buying it lol

There is no closure on this jacket. I would say the jacket fits true to size. It's very lightweight, almost sweater like without the stretch.

Thanks boxermomof2! This is good to know.

Since I am in between sizes, I bought the small last night too (I love that Zara has free shipping!) just to be on the safe side. I have a feeling that this jacket might sell out soon, so I didn't want to miss out.

Wow that looks super cute! And you haven't had problems with linting/peeling?

Thanks! And nope, no linting or pilling on either skirt.

Really pissed at Zara right now. Only had my jacket a week and my second time wear it and there's a whole on the backside of the seam where the cargo and leather have separated. Should I just return? I don't want to invest money into fixing it if the quality is just going to continually suck.

Oh no (( Maybe you just got a defective coat? Hopefully you can return it and get another one. Which jacket did you get, the one that was in stores or the newer one that's shorter?

I'm wondering the same thing too, but looks like the one on the website is sold out in physical stores and they may be trying to sell this newer version.
The older one sold for $139, the one I bought is $159.

Here's a photo I took with my phone of what the jacket looks like now. You can see, there are some changes to the way it looks.
I actually wanted the other version more because it looked a lot more like the one by Tiger of Sweden

But this is still a good alternative

I like this newer version better.

I hate to do this to you but you look fab in it!! I'm sorry.

The older one It's completely sold out now. I love it so much that I'm tempted to just get it fixed but I shouldn't have to pay to fix this inside of a week!

Thanks! And nope, no linting or pilling on either skirt.

Thank you!

I ordered the older one that's sold out I really love this jacket but the quality is totally shoddy. And I'm not going to pay more for the new one :-/

i saw two versions side by side today (not knowing your post)...i like the canvas version better. the contrast between the leather and the canvas is so much better than the regular smooth cotton fabric. and it's a little shorter??
congrats!!

well i finally got the "Crewneck coat" for $99.90 in the pink color http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/us/en/zara-us-S2012/189502/779536/CREWNECK%2BCOAT but sadly will be returning it.

It's so hard to let go though... the color is even brighter in person, a true barbie, bubblegum, pepto pink, really girly, beautiful and bright, but because of the long length and my short stature, it's kinda overwhelming on me. And i am one that wears bright colors all the time, i'm not afraid of color at all and rarely gravitate towards neutrals, but the length on me kills it.

If it were shorter, like jacket length, i would keep it without a doubt.

 

[rhogiela]

I'm so glad to hear all the positive things you've said about the crewneck coat!! (I am sorry that you're returning it though...can you hem the length a bit?) I should receive it on Monday and can't wait. Hope I like it for the same reasons you did! Thanks for the update.

yeah if you love pink and that tweed 'chanelesque' look, you'll love this coat/sweater. it's also lighter and less structured/tight feeling than i expected. i got a S but think i could've actually sized down to an XS and i def cannot do that w/ other zara 'tweed' jackets.

funny you mention tailoring, i liked the color so much when i got it, i actually though about just having a tailor chop off some of the length and making it into a jacket, but for the price of the coat, might be too much trouble.

Oooh me likey! Saw this on wendy's blog too. I have the older, but i think i NEED both! i wear the longer 1 w/ leggings or a short dress, belted at the waist for a dressier look.

So pretty! I tried the matching shorts w/ zip pockets, but fit was odd. Kinda baggy and a bit wrinkly around the crotch

I have this jacket (and about 4 other ones from Zara this season!!)

I have just noticed that there is actually a hook and eye sort of closure right at the top.

I bought this today from my weekly Zara purchase splurges ( my little guilty pleasure ) and I am so in love with it. Wish it wasn't hot but cold so I can wear it right away. I didn't notice the hook, will have to look at mine and find it.

I agree with you about the length too. Would you have it tailored? I'm thinking about buying it and doing that but then again it's kind of a Jackie O Kennedy inspiration. Just need the skirt and hat
