GILI Jill said there is a ponte panel on the sleeves. I think that's why the sleeves look very fitted.

I just don't like those floppy parts. The back is too short, IMO.

If I were selling this jacket I would be embarassed. The look is "plastic like" the floppy collar, no closure, and overall, not very attractive.

To fix it, put a closure on it, give the leather some structure and a little different styling..the colors are great though.

Just my opinion, I'm not sure what the Q is trying to accomplish with this line but I seriously would consider just revamping it. When Lisa was selling it, great, it was supposedly "her line" "her designs" but now with her gone, it's like it doesn't belong to anyone and everyone and anyone is trying to push the line. It just doesn't work.

I pre-ordered it Saturday in blush.

Sunday I watched the midnight TSV show (9 pm in California).

Monday I watched Rachel and Jayne wearing it and displaying it.

Monday I cancelled the order.

{Too many glitches, weird cotton lapels, wrinkling, and WIDE lapels that tended to flap. Sigh.}

Well, one thing we know for sure........They will sell out, whether we like them or not. Everything seems to sell on TV. p.s.: I've often wondered where the returns go after they have been worn for a couple of weeks? Are there outlet stores out there? Do they dry-clean them first?

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

Some of the returns go to as-is, some go to outlets and there are some that go to people who sell on e-bay. I have no idea how they determine what goes where. I would also bet some of the returns go out to other customers.

@1Professor ... I know, I was excited too. But I think I will wait for reviews. Hoping, by then we will see some "as is" jackets pop into inventory.
