Help me remember ladies!   I was watching Susan Graver with her presentation this morning and she showed a shirt jacket that she called faux suede.  I know she sold that type of fabric some years back but can't remember what she called it.   It looks just like the same stuff only given a different name.   It's driving me crazy that I can't recall what it was called.

In fact,I was going thru my fall jackets and found the fake suede jacket in grey.

@ciao_bella   I've been enjoying watching this show this morning, too, and liked that shirt jacket because off the cut and fabric.  Haven't made up my mind yet on that and the ribbed sweater dress they referenced but haven't shown in detail yet.

The Today's Special Value blazer is a "no" for me, even though I love blazers and wear one almost every day, because it is not lined.

@ciao_bella, I remember something called peachskin.

I love moleskin.  It is heavier than peachskin, doesn't wrinkle, is soft and moves with you.  I still have a pair of D & C black moleskin pants that must be 100 yrs old (I exaggerate) and I only wear for special occasions.

I used to have several jackets that seemed to shrink in my closet that I had to donate that I loved.  So comfortable.  Hope they bring back moleskin.

Moleskin - love this stuff!!!  I still have a few shorter jackets in moleskin. Yes I still wear them, they are still stylish and still look as good today as they did way back when. I just checked labels in all of them, none are Graver's but one is D&Co, 2 are from one of the Kardashians when she was here (yep they sold clothes here for a NY minute). Throw them in the washer, hang to dry. Ready to wear again!

Moleskin indeed.  Every designer had moleskin in their collections.
