I know this jacket is from last fall, and I resisted it then, was careful not to buy too many wonderful items, but suddenly it called to me for this year.

Truly, this is exquisite - the faux suede (my first from Linea) is sumptuous, the detailing beyond belief, cut and style, the design of the piped panels put together perfectly, even the neckline is amazingly flattering. I am still shaking my head over it, the quality and style and price! Can we just discuss the pricing? It is what a tee shirt costs in other designer lines on QVC!!! It should be hundreds more than this from comparable items I've seen elsewhere.

I've seen $400 handbags where the zipper wasn't put in this perfectly.

I got it in the black/silver although I like the olive/bronze equally well, but have some dressier events to attend and this will go with all my other things so well. I won't have to buy anything that is not in my closet to make many beautiful outfits. Yes, with a white Kate shirt and jeans, boots, it will be perfect too. Or a WK turtleneck. And on and on, dressy nights out to "events," to casual day wear.

There seems to be sizes available and I would definitely consider this if you are looking for something slightly edgy that I think is going to get a million compliments and be very versatile.

My poor credit card.............yikes.
