For Those Who Own Talbots Rulffe Front Tartan Plaid Jacket

Pearlee — Thu, 14 Dec 2017 22:03:40 GMT

I bought it at 50% off but haven't worn mine yet.

Do you wear it as an indoor or outdoor jacket (mostly)? I think it can be used as both although not outdoor in frigid weather.

What types of events/occasions do you wear it to? Do you usually wear it with something black on the bottom (I probably would - pants in my case)?

@OKPrincess Sorry, no, not from the device I'm using here right now.

It's on the T's website; just use the search words from my thread title about the jacket.

@OKPrincess Good job! LOL It's the white background one, which is wool. The other navy one is nylon or some such fabric and is clearly for outdoor use. Thanks!

@Pearlee.. I don't own that piece , but it's very pretty. I would style it simply with black pants and possibly a black top. The white would be a nice contrast.. Also, it's a nice indoor jacket if u work in an office or however it fits into your lifestyle. Enjoy wearing it..!

@Pearlee It was so cute, I bought one too, and a red tee to wear underneath

It will serve us well, for years to come. I thought I was done buying winter wear ,but it is such a bargain, I decided to take the plunge

@GraceCO Thank you!

@cherry Oh, no! I got you into trouble with this thread! LOL It is a great price - it's well made and I really love this plaid and the colors used. The white background really brightens me up too (face). I hope you love yours - it is a very good purchase and is top quality!

It will go with so many things I already have. I want to get a skirt to wear with it. I don't wear a lot of skirts ,but it will give me a suit look, for things that I attend ,that require a bit of, dressed up looking clothing

@cherry I agree. It's a very versatile item; assuming it works out for you, you'll defintely get your money's worth of wear out of it. It will go equally well with jeans too!

I was a bit in doubt again, with the sizing so I sized up. It doesn't have any give in the fabric, and I will wear clothing under it. I hope it fits ok.

I can't stand tight jackets

@cherry I hate to tell you this, but I tried four or five different ones on at the store - all in the same size (I wear a petite in this due to sleeve length) and they all fit vastly differently. There was a quarter or even in one case a half size difference in them between the one I ended up with and the others I tried. This is a constant issue with Talbots which is why I have to try things on at the store, unless it's a online exclusive of course.

Fingers crossed. It was such a small difference between the 2 sizes, and I could honestly go either way

I wish they would put garment measurements on the site. They are a big enough business that they could do it

@cherry They are wise not to, since the measurements aren't uniform at all per size! As my previous post indicates!
