On The Lookout!

I've told you before, I'm not a very girly-girl.

At all.

I do have rare moments of girlishness though.

A week before my eye problems began, I saw this leather jacket in a magazine:

 

It's made by Cole Haan and, supposedly, part of their spring collection.

The problem?

It isn't on their website, or apparently anywhere else in the universe.

Of course, that only makes me want it more.

And no, we don't wear jackets very often in Southern California, but that's beside the point.

I've fallen in love with its neutral color and everything else about it, without ever trying it on.  (Maybe I would hate it if I had a chance to try it on?)

As soon as my eyes are a little stronger, I'll be searching a little harder for it.  I so rarely shop for clothes, I don't feel guilty if I splurge on an item once every decade five years or so.

Cole Haan?

You're a tease!

P.S.  If anyone can track down this jacket for me, I'll be eternally grateful.

if it's spring, it probably won't be out in stores until late march. brands like cole haan, calvin klein, etc tend to release spring stuff in waves, to entice buyers with new merchandise.
what magazine was it in? that would help find me find it. and did it say anything about the name or materials?

here's the closest match

Cole's number? 1 800 695 8945 . You need to go back and find the name of the jacket, or style name

I am no good to you here, hon - I hate clothes shopping. I have to admit, though, that is a NICE jacket.

I love not wearing jackets. May have to move to California.

Your readers are great sleuths Suzanne, especially when it comes to shopping! You will have that beautiful jacket in no time.

[Michelle Pixie]

After all you've been through it's the very least you deserve!!

Good luck!

[Kelly]

I have no idea how to find it but I love it too!

What's girlie about that jacket? It looks great.

I lived for a while in southern California (LA). I thought one of the great things about the climate was, since all the heat was in the sun and not in the air (ie no humidity = no water to warm up) it cooled done spectacularly at night. I never went out in the evening without a jacket.

Go for it, Girl. (If you can find it...)

A big thank you to Queen of Chaos for calling Cole Haan and finding out the jacket will be released in 2-3 weeks! Thank you. My readers are THE BEST!!!!!

[Anne Gibert]

It's a great jacket. I always wanted a good leather jacket. It looks soft and comfortable and stylish all at the same time. I'm so glad your eyes are better. Thanks for the kind birthday wish.

I hope you find the jacket.

The jacket is fab, and it will be found (probably not by me though...sorry).
