steven alan sample sale

uh oh, here comes trouble!


Favorites:

Ordered:
Julien Jacket in black and Danny Pant in red. They were already sold out in the black pant, but I'm sure I can find another pair easily if I need a proper interview outfit. I went with the red instead of the grey because I didn't like the wool/polyester blend when I was at the Venice Beach Steven Alan. In contrast, the wool/polyamide blend in the black and red colorways is super soft and cozy. I don't own anything in red, but I thought the pants would be festive and cheering this winter season.

Tell me about it! I ordered a couple of shirts and a blazer for Ben, and then the striped cashmere sweater for myself (oops).

oops is right!

I checked out the in-person sample sale this morning and I think this might actually be one of the times the online version is better! I was hoping for the Hope (hah) Judge trousers, but no luck at the sale. I picked up a black Sea blazer. The best part was the Rachel Comey's and No.6's for $100-200 but of course you had to be the right (very small) size.

good choice with the red.

Has anyone tried the Julien jacket? How is the sizing?

leanne said...

What size jacket did you order? I probably waited too long but am debating size

Mona said...

trying to resist but so tempting....

i ordered the 6, which is my regular size in SA. i tried on the 2 accidentally while in CA and managed to get it on even though it was super tight. i'm still carrying extra weight, so i figured a 6 would be safest. my Annette is a 6 and fits perfectly. these are longish jackets, however, so if you have a short torso, the length might be an issue.

if anyone has tried on the Julien, please chime in!

Oh lucky you that you snagged the Julien Jacket in black! I had it in my cart and it told out when I was checking out, so sad.

Does anyone know about the grey fabric for this jacket? It's sometimes so hard to tell about the weave and texture on steven alan's website. I can't tell if it is speckled or a solid woven grey. Did anyone see it in the store? I too was wondering about sizing. I am usually a 4 but am really long, so was thinking a 6 for the sleeve length..?

another feather-
the grey is not solid, it is more speckled. it isn't as soft as the black or red, but it's still a nice fabric blend.

i find the sleeve length on my annette jacket (6) to be a little long, but not enough to need alterations.

Hi ladies - I accidentally ended up with a couple of pairs of Danny pants. If anyone is interested in a pair of black Danny pants, size 6, please send me an email! leannemdavis5 at gmail dot com

Thanks!

thanks so much for the information Erica! I decided to wait and see if I could get the Jacket in black later from someone who might have bought it and it didn't fit. I got a skirt in the grey wool though (it came today!) and you are right it is a really nice fabric, but I'm glad I didn't get it as I already have a coat in a similar grey weave
