probably not a good picture, but nevermind. i admit i was very smitten by the gold buttoned peacoat in the same collection (on wishlist on the right...), but it was actually longer than what i expected, and i have a rather similar coat anyway. i love their take on the varsity-style jacket, i see this as a classic, and most probably getting better with age.
here's to a good investment piece.

Gorgeous... jealous.
ReplyDeleteAh, yes! I tried the teddy jacket the other day. It makes me look fat, sadly! It is certainly a very good investment piece, though!

nice piece, the medal gives it a very Soviet Russia feel.
ReplyDeleteCiao!
davidikus: where did you try the jacket?
ReplyDeleteuh nice!
ReplyDeletehow much is it?
Can't wait to see you wearing it! I got the golden buttoned jacket in size 46 and it is a bit too long. Too bad that they only have your jacket in Red in US, which I don't like. Otherwise I would've gone for this one also ~
ReplyDeleteSB: yes i saw your peacoat, i tweeted about it too. mine's 48, they only have the red teddy in 50, which i quite fancy too.
ReplyDeleteyea the peacoat is longer than expected...
Very nice!!! Strangely, I tried the "peacoat" with insignia too before I bought the real pea coat (the longer one on my blog) and I felt that it's really not a peacoat but more of a thick blazer as it (in size 34) hit right around my hip bone area (I guess I must be long waisted)...either way, I think you made a good choice because as beautiful as it may be, the jacket with insignia looks very pilot and will date very soon for such an expensive piece
ReplyDeleteI tried it at Liberty's of London, I think. I also tried a great Balenciaga leather jacket - shame I have one already!

Beautiful, feels very you and i'm hoping you got it on sale. As it definitely costs an arm or two : )
ReplyDeleteIt is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! So Jealous! I really wanted one, but decided to save the money for an Balmain Iconic Leather Jacket. Did they have them in store in Paris?
ReplyDeleteFrank Remy: which is the iconic leather jacket? i pretty much saw every piece from the lookbook in their store...
ReplyDeleteit is a very nice buy. i'd like to have one myself. i'm sure it will last you forever.

Foxie, I definitely like the regular peacoat better than the one with the insignias so good move there on your part.
ReplyDeleteNow, where can I get myself an extra $3,600 + tax to get one too?
I just tried a teddy jacket @ Lacoste & it makes me look less fat... Perhaps it is worth buying the Lacoste one.
ReplyDeletenoooo. maybe that was a bad day, give balmain another chance
ReplyDeleteNice jacket, but overpriced imo..
ReplyDeletenice! kinda reminds me of the leather vest from balenciaga's S/S 2010 (?) collection :)
ReplyDeletelet me know if you plan to sell the Balmain teddy jacket.
