Bella scratches me

I've wanted this Bella jacket from j.crew for awhile. Love the collar details, and the fit of it. I've been admiring it from afar, but I was finally able to try it out in person. I'm petite, but the store only had regular sizes. I tried on the wool version, and the fit was just as expected - beautiful! The sleeves hit at just the right spot, and the bottom hit right at the top of my hips. My only reservation, and a big one at that, is the fabric. Wool is great, but not when it's itchy. It's quite rough and I had to take that jacket off quick. There is a lining on the inside, but the collar is unlined and if you turn it up (which you must, in order to see the ruching detail), then those tiny wool hairs will tickle your neck.

They do have this jacket in velvet, but they didn't look as nice, and I'm not a big fan of velvet anyway, so I didn't even try it on. Hopefully j.crew will make it in a different, more gentle fabric. Then I'll snatch it up right away.
