I ordered these trf brocade pants and I hope they fit as good as they look and no baggy knees!!

Hey I just bought them! Went looking for it at the store cos I need another pair of pants. Had to size up for TRF. I find these look better on me than the lace pants with the side zip. Hope they stretch out a little though since its a bit tight at the waist.

i received my online order and i do like it. for some reason in the store it was very underwhelming...maybe it was the harsh lighting

mm true - the store lighting made it look really bright when i saw it first. i actually said to the SA that i thought it was red from the online lookbook as well.

Love the coat (and your shoes)! I tried it on too, looked great, but didn't buy it yet, because I felt it was a bit soon too buy autumn/winter clothes already. But will buy it soon. But the coat is not that warm, or is it?

I'm going to have to try something else to try to neutralize the odor. I have to be careful since this item isn't washable or dry cleanable.

Please let me know if you find a solution. Every time I walk past the room that the coat is hanging in I get this awful stench. I just tried it on again and now my body actually smells of the coat! It's knocking me sick. I honestly think I'm going to have to return it as I wouldn't want to inflict that smell on anyone by wearing it in public! Lol! Such a shame as it's an amazing coat.

Hi I just wanted to share these tips with you. I really love the black coat and haven't bought it because of your reviews, my mom also told me that wool smells like baby's pee, but I like it so badly... still haven't decided what to do but hope this info helps! http://www.getsmellout.com/how_to_get_smell_out_of_wool

Many thanks! Some great ideas there. My only concern is that the coat can't be washed or dry cleaned and it seems like some of these solutions would involve the coat getting wet. The hanging it out in sunlight seems like a good option though.

I returned my coat today and mentioned the smell to the SA. Sure enough, she told me that loads of people had returned the coat because of the smell.

hey paris darling! it isn't a thick coat and isn't very heavy - i would definitely use it as a fall coat. it won't be warm enough for canadian winters.

Thanks for sharing. I used to have a wool sweater cardigan and I tried all these methods plus some others and nothing worked. It always smelled like musty pee. This weekend when I have time I'm going to come up with some genius plan and do a bunch of experiments. Otherwise I can just wear it and be smelly and its okay if people avoid me because the coat looks so good.

I noticed it had a higher elastane content and I'm hoping there is some stretch in the material as well.

What do you guys think of this trf jacket with faux leather sleeves?
P.S. I really want that red boucle jacket with leather sleeves from the lookbook. When is it going to become available?!

I just received the wool coat with quilted leather sleeves. And yes, it does STINK! I can only describe the smell as a damp wool smell. I've removed it from my bedroom and I can still smell it. It would be awful to walk around wearing it if it smelt like that. I don't think the coat is very well made. It's really cool looking and I like it but the hem has large threads fraying off it and seems like it might shed. It's not very well finished, and the lining is cheap. I also found a large deep scratch on one of the leather epaulettes. I wonder if the ones in store will smell any better because they've had chance to hang in store for a while? I might go into store and check them out.

Hi! I received this coat the other day (following our posts on The Saturdays style thread)....and yes it stinks! And it isn't great quality! So mine is going back to the store :push:

It actually stinks so bad that I was worried there was some sort of chemical coating on it or something and I washed my hands several times after touching it:push:

It's a shame because Rochelle looks great in it :(
