  Oh Shannon I saw that one online as well and so badly want it. I am going tomorrow or Thursday to purchase a purse (my purse thread) once I finally decide. I will see if they have the vest in. I am not an amazon (LOL) so maybe it won't sit right :) and will save myself the anguish. You and I are the about the same height so maybe you will be saved from this evil temptress as well.

  Shannon, I have a solution for you:
  
  Move to the United States.  You'll have access to Nordstrom *and* you won't be able to buy anything from Danier because it's too impractical to ship 10 jackets to your house, try them on and ship them back.
  
  Look forward to seeing photos of the jackets on you!

  Glory - I just responded on your purse thread. The yellow one is gorgeous - saw it and loved it! And you're right - the vest is probably made for someone taller than our height. I think they're website model is probably 5'11" or something like that. Let me know what you find out though - you know, just in case - lol!
  
  Sylvie - I may have to do that. Danier is becoming a serious addiction and is only 10 minutes from my house - dangerously convenient!

  Oh, I have been waiting for a moto vest from them forever! Now I need to assess the budget!

  Shannon I am just trying to reach 5'4 but I will try it out. Ceit - they also have a black one in the outlet section. I have been eyeballing that one as well.

  That is gorgeous. They are really making it difficult for us this year, aren't they? And then there's the weather. Even if we could afford all these beauties we wouldn't be able to wear them. I'm layering two sweaters and wool coat today!

  Um, WOW.  Sheesh.  Good thing my clothing budget is nil right now or I'd be dragging the kids to the mall to try it!

  I can see why you would want to break so many red lights!

  O.M.G.  Transcona, WHY are you tormenting me with the link to this website?
  
  My boyfriend is from Toronto and we go up there periodically.    Now I have this HUGE temptation dangling before me.    I only saw two leather dresses, a leather-detail cardigan, some skirts and about five jackets that my acquisitive little heart is clamouring for.
  
  I may just end up selling off most of my clothes and making the move to full-time leather.    Except that it doesn't work for long stretches in the Deep South :(

  Hahaaa...drive slowly, you don't want to bleed all over a white leather jacket !
  
  That vest is just heavenly.  If it makes you feel better, Danier also torments me. So I have been trying to figure out a way to get to one of their stores.  The closest are in Quebec, a 6 hour drive to the border. But I can't get back home in time for the school bus.
  
  So I devised a route to Michigan this year that will give us a layover in Niagra Falls, on the Canadian side, where there is a Danier at the mall !   LOL !

  Ceit - I know, right? along with assessing the budget, I'm assessing whether or not it would work with my wardrobe and if I would wear it enough (if it even fit, of course).
  
  Glory - I will wait for your report :)
  
  Suz - you could layer the vest over your wool sweaters!
  
  La Belle - Danier is without a doubt my biggest weakness. Have you ever owned anything of theirs? The quality is fab and the service is excellent. But be careful - it's like potato chips. You can't stop at just one!
  
  Isabel - LOL! You just may have a problem when you start working your vacations and routes around Danier locations!

  Isabel, you had better take pictures of your finds :)
  
  I hopped over to the Wilson Leather site.    Equal or higher prices, but the styles aren't quite as sharp, and it seems like there is less choice of color.  And no skirts or dresses.
  
  Transcona - no!  but I see some Danier in my future.    It is definitely more attainable for me than Jitrois - which is also on my dream list.

  Shannon...you think ?   Hahaaa !!!
  
  La Belle, you are soooo right. We have a Wilson Leather outlet very close to where I live. But the styles are just not fashion forward in the least. Drats !
