……………………The QUILTED & WHISPER KNIT JACKET, A267878 is back!! In all new colors…………..First up the MED. OLIVE…..Not quite sure why it’s called Medium when it matches all of my Whisper Knits and Linea Body tights and leggings to a T in OLIVE…….what ever……………..just know that this “med.” olive works well with all of the olive pieces you own including the slim leg pant above….which actually IS a med. olive…………For those of you who own this jacket in either the black or alabaster I don’t have to explain to you the virtues of this beautifully executed jacket. For those of you who are new to Linea or missed out on this jacket the first time around….here are some of the details……..First and foremost this jacket is literally LIGHT AS A FEATHER. The quilting padding is super light and thin so there is NO BULK or WEIGHT…….The JERSEY SLEEVES, BACK and RIBBED COLLAR are all made in my WHISPER KNIT, which adds to the lightness in weight. The zipper is a DTM [dyed to match] nylon zipper, again adding to the weightlessness of the jacket. It has princess seams in the front so it is NOT A BOXY jacket. There are pockets hidden in the seams. It is done so well that some actually missed that the jacket had them?……….However, it is the quilting design that tells the story, because there are TWO PATTERNS of quilting incorporated in the jacket. The front of the jacket has a beautifully proportioned DIAMOND pattern…..but the SIDE PANELS and the TOP YOKE have a CHANNEL QUILTED pattern…..It’s always ALL in the DETAILS…….This may not seem all that important, however it takes time to set up the machines to make different quilt patterns….it takes time to cut these separate pieces….it takes time to knit the sleeves, the back panel and the ribbed collar, and then it takes EXPERT SEWERS who know how to sew all of these pieces together. It is not an easy task to sew the knit to the woven……….This is DESIGNER LEVEL WORKMANSHIP…..so for those who say Linea does not have the quality it used to I would put up this jacket as a fine example of the Linea workmanship…..It’s a jacket I am very proud of…..as are all the pieces in the photo above starting with the A72448 Whisper Knit TN, the A279525, Burnt Orange English Rib sweater, and the A265615, Olive slim pant [almost completely sold out]……I couldn’t help accessorizing the outfit with my Byzantine Cross and Station Necklace. They are sold out and have now become collectors items………………This Quilted Jacket isn’t scheduled to be aired until my September 29th show at 2:00pm, but some of the sizes have already sold out…..so if you really want it do not wait too long or it will be too late…………………It’s just the right time for this light as air quilted jacket……….enjoy……..much Love……………………Louis
