I just picked up the jacket in black. Its a sharp looking jacket. I don't see a lot of chatter about the TSV. What does everyone think, just curious?

You don't see all the arguments about leather?

I really like it, and was considering it, but I like the brown cognac, and my size is already sold out.

OP, I have some chatter...My sister bought a jacket very similar and about the same price elsewhere, and although it is very pretty and fashionable, the zipper is made very cheaply. Since its a fitted jacket you really kinda pull a little more than other coats and after 3 months the zipper broke. I think this one will do the same. I notice when they show on air the zipping function it takes a little extra tug and thats what happened to my sister.

The leather jacket is gorgeous and I bought the black! It's just what I was looking for...

Regarding the leather arguments... even Lamb Leather is the by product of our consumption of Lamb. We (as a society, even though we don't consume as much as other countries) eat Lamb Chops, roasts, etc. The skins would be wasted and thrown away if we didn't USE them! By not wasting parts of these animals when slaughtering for meat (it's going to be done whether we like it or not).... it shows respect for the animal's life and gratitude for it's meat. I can understand boycotting eating the meat and also boycotting the leather by-product that is produced if a person is absolutely offended by it. But I find that since I'm a meat eater (and grateful for it), I also approve of not wasting the the other parts of the animal in the process.

I just noticed Lisa Rinna tugging on the jacket, and couldn't even zip it. This zipper is cheaply made!

I noticed that too. She finally just gave up. A jacket like this does need a good zipper.

Exactly, Portia! The zipper is the same grade as a zipper on a cotton skirt. This will not hold up. I am looking forward to seeing the reviews roll in. hmmmm

This definitely makes me feel better about missing out on my size. . .
