Icon trench

I finally got the chance to try Icon trench.

size 6, and only one in-store.

FP $289

 I felt a bit big on the beinning,

 but just b/c I had tried the Banana Republic in petite size,

and of course it is better on the lenght and arms.

 Can you count how many buttons?

 I really love it

 4 belt loops, 2 in the back 

and 2 in the front

It got on sale $198,

Just  one day it was sold out in amost all sizes.

My PS finally was able to grab one when it became available again.

Great sale + 30% off promo,

I was so happy!

and so, I decided to try the size 4 to compare.

What I didn't know is that I was going to get

the NEW Icon trench coat.

I got a bit desappointed.

 Only 3 belt loops on the back,

which I prefer because you can put the belt around the waist

 where suits you better.

Please, count the buttons now:

7

Against 10 buttons from the old beautiful Icon trench that

I was waiting for.

The button is higher,

 for now it holds the detail of the extra fabric on the side, 

and only one side now.
Are they saving the fabric?

The height of this button towards my armpits, 

where as before the button was at the height of the breast.

 This causes a big difference. 

You can see how it is pulling the fabric, it is because is tighter (size 4),

 but at the same time is the button position, 

if it was towards the armpit this effect would not be happening.

I like the fact it has 3 belt loops only on the back.

But not like they have taken so many buttons,

 fabric saved in putting the detail on one side only.
I really liked how it was before.

Does taking three buttons away and a detail of extra fabric on one side, they're saving so much and therefore making more money?

Because they have to fix something that is so good?!
We do not move in a winning team, is not it?

I will definitely exchange it for size 6,

and then evaluating if I really going to keep it.

Have a wonderful day!
