Don't Miss The Pants!
Lambskin is so-o-o soft and supple. Just a gorgeous fabric and simple delicious to wear. I have a jacket in lambskin that I just love. I could use another jacket and a really fashionable long coat and I thought I'd check out lambskin first. So I'll search on "lambskin" and see what pops up. Well, right away one of my favorite stores has some interesting lambskin. I'll try them first so off to Nordstrom we go. At Nordstrom, I've found this absolutely beautiful coat in lambskin. Just take a gander at this French offering. The coat is a Rizal & Linea Selecta 'Party' Coat with Fur Collar. Nordstrom claims it's exceptionally lightweight.The coat is topped with an exaggerated genuine raccoon-fur collar. Hand-stitched detailing throughout with a two-button closure with leather tie at waist and a notched collar, two front flap pockets. The length is approx 39"from the shoulder. Their item #201336 and the price is $2,872. A bit more than I was planning to pay but I'm definitely headed for the store to see how it looks in the flesh. (btw watch that European sizing!) I really like the pic online on the model. Unfair with her hair color! Look at it from the back. Really nice, huh? What do you think?
While we're looking at Nordstrom, I'll run through the catalog for more lambskin. Well, there's a nice little jacket in red. An Ellen Tracy Lambskin Swing Topper. Cut in an A-line silhouette and accented with shiny buttons down the front. Split cuffs and on-seam pockets. Approx. length from shoulder: 33". Not bad and it's cheap at $265, already a third off. Nordstrom's item #202918. There's a darling little lambskin blazer by Coffee Shop. Short blazer, contrast-stitched to accent its shapely lines. Length approx. from shoulder 23". The item is 200186 and you can grab it for a measly $198. OK let's go see Sak's Fifth Avenue and browse their catalog. This one is sweet. Vince Washed Lambskin Jacket Classic look, slightly tapered at the waist with a foldover funnel neck, Concealed zip and snap placket, One zip chest pocket, Two flap patch pockets. Made from Italian lambskin, it is Sak's item #0488279014704 and is priced at $695. And last but very definitely not least, I'm sneaking in these lamb suede pants from Italy. OOOOH!
