Would love to hear how that leather sleeve blazer works out and fits!
I ordered some things too...black embrioridery sweatshirt (sold out online), black vest, dark red brocade trousers, girls size faux sheepskin gilet...absolutely LOVE all of it!

I didn't like the blazer. The sleeves looked really fake and it was extremely shiny. It looked more like satin than it did "leather". The fit was eh and the sleeves were too loose for me. It runs tts. The jacket has padded shoulders and it also has a big slit in the back down the center which I didn't like. Hopefully they bring out a real leather version in a better fit.

I received this coat http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stor...s-W2012/269183/995025/COMBINED LEATHER JACKET in the mail today.

The thick and thin of it... well, I love the way it looks, but am disappointed in the quality of material used, specifically the non-leather parts. The fabric is really cheap-looking and feels cheap too and thin, though the leather is fantastic... thick and supple. The stitching is all over the place too. I really want to keep it and rock it but there is nagging thought in my brain that tells me I'll look for a replacement soon, another style or the same, god knows Zara keeps pushing out fantastic coats. TTS but tight in the arms for me and I think have avg arms, so I can't wear a thick sweater underneath.

Also got these http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stor...-us-W2012/269200/880584/STUDDED SUEDE CITYBAG in red and black.

Love them! The quality of the suede is quite different in the two I got, one is velvety and the other more coarse and less saturated in color. The size is great, nice and large for such a clutch! I tried cross-body but on me, the chain is quite short, so no go for cross-body but it does look great over the one shoulder. The chain and studs are sort of matte (not shiny, which makes it more versatile for casual wear, imo.

HTH!

I've been waiting for this coat to become available in my size. Is the fabric really that horrendous? Now, I'm thinking if I should get something else. Hmm... But, I love the look of it. Why combine nice supple leather with cheap polyester fabric??

Unfortunately, no. I just came back from vacation yesterday, so when I check out the store, I'll be sure to take note & let you know if I come across them. ;)

Thanks for your reply :)
Very stiff as in uncomfortable? :(
Was the quality of the leather ok?
Sorry for all the questions but I don't have a Zara anywhere near me so I would need to order on line. Thanks

The quality of the leather was okay and while it wasn't uncomfortable, it wasn't very flattering on me, the stiffer leather. Kindly note that I have smaller calves and prefer softer leather for boots that would conform to my legs than highlight what tiny calves I have instead. ;)

Good luck deciding! :flowers:
