………………………………September is here, and Fall is officially about to begin, and I can think of a better way to start than with this light weight zip front jacket, A267878……This is not just any quilted jacket….this is a quilted jacket done the LINEA way…………………There are many details to this jacket that aren’t easy to see, so you may have to click on the picture twice to BLOW IT UP for a better look. The jacket is SUPER LIGHT WEIGHT, so it is the ideal jacket for my southern ladies for the entire winter, and definitely for those with milder climates……..The fabrication of this jacket is a combination of QUILTED POLYESTER with WHISPER KNIT SLEEVES, RIBBED COLLAR, and the entire BACK. The front panels are DIAMOND quilted, and the side panels and top yoke are VERTICALLY CHANNEL quilted for a more stream line look. The quilting is very light so there is no bulk……The jacket has princess seams which create a gentle shape that glides over the body. This is NOT a BOXY PUFFER jacket…..There are INSEAM POCKETS. The zipper is a one way zipper and is also a nylon zipper, so the tape and teeth are all dyed to match in the ……ALABASTER color…It really looks wonderful all dyed to match….so chose your own accessory color….The collar is made in a WHISPER KNIT 2×2 rib, so it gently hugs the neck without being tight in any way!……The sleeves and the back are done in the JERSEY WHISPER KNIT STITCH and have 2×2 rib starts………..I really want to emphasize the fact that this is FEATHER WEIGHT. You will be very surprised how weightless it is when you take it out of the fabulous shipping package it will inevitably be shipped to you in. It is so light weight that you northerners will be able to wear it as an indoor jacket…….that has a little EDGE…When it’s bitter cold just add a coat, scarf, beret and gloves….It will give you that added layer of protection…..Wear it dressed up or down. It is certainly elegant enough to wear both ways…. This jacket is NUMERICALLY SIZED. It is not fitted. It has an easy shaping, and with the Whisper Knit sleeves and back it is unbelievably COMFORTABLY. There is no need, IMHO, to size up or down. Due to the WK there is plenty of STRETCH…..Jac did try on the size 6, which is her normal B&M size and she felt it was a little roomy, but that’s how she would want a jacket to fit. With a WK sweater you should be fine….With a long sleeve sweater you will definitely be fine. With numerical sizes they should be more accurate to your needs………….The size 6 is approximately 26 inches long……and for me…in this Alabaster color…. it is the perfect length. The care instructions say to turn the garment inside out and machine wash in cold water. I would guess the same method you use in washing you WK sweaters………..In the photo above I have simply layer the jacket with the Alabaster s/s WK sweater, A267882…..the sweater is also avail in BLACK, and it is a MUST HAVE ESSENTIAL in the new med. weight WK….On the bottom……my Black MOSS CREPE SKIRT, A262454. I also have it with my Black WK pant, but I have a new quality SUPER PONTE pant in a modified BOOT CUT coming in OCT that will work beautifully too……As I look at my sketch I have to say my manufacturer captured it perfectly. The only change we made, after seeing the first sample, was changing the knit from a Milano stitch to a jersey. The Milano wasn’t right with the softness and lightness of the jacket…….trial and error….that’s what designing is about…..There are zillions of quilted jackets out there avail to you, but I promise, none are quite like this……..Happy Fall………………,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,…..enjoy…………………..much Love…………………Louis
