Ok I said Hate It: I am sorry, but in the winter time I need a coat with long sleeves (hence the point of a winter coat - to keep WARM)!! The shape is funny fab - I agree. I do enjoy the black color and the circle print but I mean please - simply a showpeace it seems.

^ I definitely agree with talldiva, short sleeved winter coats are plain stupid
plus this looks like something E.T would wear

A puffer with short sleeves! Defeats the purpose! In my opinion it's not avant garde enough for me!

Same opinion as everyone else... I don't understand why you would wear a PARKA with short sleeves.

I am plain stupid. I already have a 3/4 sleeve black coat and will probably get this one when it goes on sale. They work well for warmer winter locations.

I know the designers...I love it.

This is my brother design... the whole point of AZFN to give people something that they know no one else will be wearing at a party of club they go too.. its a WHOLE different view on fashion and thats why they are sticking out so much... anyone cant put a print on a t shirt (ed hardley) and sell it for $80.. but they look at fashion as more of an art...

ive seen this on one of my friends when we went out one time and she got so many compliments.. its really a good piece!

in theory, it's nice, but i would prefer a better pattern as far as the quilting goes. the circles seem a little tacky to me... it looks kind of like a garbage bag? the shape is too boxy. if she didn't have her hand on her waist she'd look like a rectangle.

i was undecided. i could see myself liking this in another material but i just can't wrap my mind around this jacket.

I think it looks awful! How could that possibly keep you warm?

Definately a show piece.

I think it's cool, but not practical.

If I'm wearing a poufy parka, it's cold enough that I require forearm insulation too, please. Also how goofy would you look if you wore this with a long-sleeved sweater?

The only reason I can see this working is with long leather gloves. Otherwise it's bupkis.

I like it, but it's not something I'd wear. There's something funny about the collar area, and the short sleeves aren't my thing. But I love the circle pattern on it!

Sorry not to insult anyone but its just not my taste. It looks like its trying too hard to be avant garde and it just misses the mark. I also agree with everyone else about it being impractical, I never understood the point of short sleeve coats.

unless one has a stick figure, this would make anybody look like a huge black bear
:-S

Yuck. I've never liked those puffy, quilted jackets, and the sleeves on this one are ridiculous.

A longer sleeve would help.

it looks cheap...

The neckline is gorgeous.
