Bit the bullet and ordered
this sweater jacket from Madewell late last night,
after much internal waffling but even more reminiscing. I am -- shall we
say -- a tomboy of a certain age, and I actually HAD a letter jacket
when I was in high school, courtesy of my hunky varsity soccer player
boyfriend. (I had his silver ID bracelet too -- a treasure that will
mean something only if you're my age. :-)) The jacket was enormous on me
-- he was nearly a foot taller and easily 75 or 80 lbs heavier -- but
hey, that was the way it was supposed to look.

Chat Customer Service Girl says that this sweater jacket runs slightly
on the small side of TTS (although the measurements don't bear that
statement out -- 38 chest for a small), and that the "look" is intended
to be as it appears on their website's model:
Well, to my sentimental
eye the model's looks skimpy. I sized up for a nostalgic (and TRUE, if
you ask me) fit.
I have a very similar shirt to what's shown
here and plan to try this combo, but the sweater jacket SCREAMS for a
classic white shirt.
I love, and have owned, many pairs of
loafers like these. I prefer the fit and instant comfort on the Sebago
Plaza (shown here), but of course there are your Bass Weejuns die-hards
out there. Nothin' but love for ya, girls, it's just that Bass Weejuns
hurt my feet.
And yes, I do own and use and love a men's belt almost exactly like this one!
