Zara

btw, they even have a similar khaki jodhpur like the Balenciaga one that goes with the striped jacket!

Great purchase, kate_is_goddess! I can imagine so many nice outfits with that jacket.

 

[kimair]

that's a great jacket kate...
i saw a girl here wearing one on the bus yesterday...
it looked really nice irl and nicely made...

 

[Jungla_Juana]

the have the jodhpurs too??? must buy!!!

 

[Belle Princesse]

Ok I think I'll be looking out for the jodhpurs too.

 

[kate_is_goddess]

thanks satin & kimair! it is quite nicely made, but with the occasional thread coming off... typical Zara quality I would say

I'm curious to see how the jodhpurs fit, I didn't have time to try them on last time...

and btw, I'd be interested to know how much the jacket is in other countries. I payed €59.90 for it

I paid 45.9€ for it, but I live in Spain, where Zara is from.

I have just arrived from a trip to Scotland and I was amazed by the prices: what here costs 30€, there costs 30 pounds and so on...

I don't know what pictures of the jacket are posted in the shopaholics thread, so I'm gonna post a few details...
[photos by me]

aww, I really like it, looks very Balenciaga

 

[kate_is_goddess]

^^that's def. an advantage! but 14€ plus is very much imo...

yeah, that's the same with Abercrombie... my parents bought some stuff in London and they have the same prices as in the US, only that it's in pounds...

 

[Ksanochka Vanmra]

Too bad I'm going to live in the UK more than 9 months

 

[kate_is_goddess]

yeah, but hey, it's the UK! They have other great stuff!

 

[Jungla_Juana]

I got it for $80 which I think is around 59.9 euros...

 

[iLoveCouture]

I tried on the "Balenciaga" jacket and it the tailoring on it is pretty good for only $80. The only thing about it was that its cut very small.....I usually wear a size XS/Small everywhere I go but at Zara I think I would need a size L in that jacket and then have it tailored down to fit. They didnt have a size L so I ended up buying a black vest instead!

 

[brbrry]

^ Well i think that is because the american clothes tend to be larger than the european cut. Many people that i know can't buy at zara and they aren't big people.

 

[Jungla_Juana]

I got the S because I loved the super slim fit... I plan on wearing it open most of the time.

 

[Ksanochka Vanmra]

^I got the S too for the same reason. Plus, the M looked weird on me, too big in my waist.

 

[Jungla_Juana]

I went to zara today... I looked and looked for the jodhpurs and found them (they aren't TRF but zara's collection line). I am almost always a 38fr or 6us in zara pants but with these I needed the 36. I found they are VERY high waist... maybe that's how the original jodhpur style is but they were over my belly button! maybe they are meant to be worn on the hips nonetheless? I tried that too but then they looked too baggy in the crotch area. I wanted them to be cut a little lower, maybe a 8-8.5" rise. anyway they are $80 if I remember correctly.

i saw the balenciaga jacket but only in M. i know its small but i tried it on anyway and didnt find it all that great i must say... i think not everyone can pull it off

I decided to return mine - it just wasn't working for me.

this balenciaga knock off seems like the hit of the season for zara!
