i prefer jacket b. great cut and shape.
Love option B, fitted and not too long. Great look with jeans.
“Big square shoulders” gives me 80′s flashbacks! Love teh Frani jacket, great style and reasonable price.
Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors showed lots of color in pink and purple for fall, but the military jacket is passe now ( well at least the balenciaga one)
Congratulations on the choice of Canadian designers contributing. Really superb group!
