Mini Must-Have: Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s Military Jacket

Is she in Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club?

A mini must have for who?? I wouldn’t put this on any of my daughters…

I like the Stella McCartney one better, but I think they’re both great! I love kids with style!

I think it’s kind of cute (though over the top) however I wouldn’t spend that much money on it. I don’t think I would specifically buy it for a child if it were cheaper anyway. It looks a little like a costume. But if they can afford it and Shiloh likes it, then I don’t see any reason to complain! If it’s not my child and not my money then why not?

I think it looks cute. I would never buy a coat with that pricetag for me or my children but that is their choice.

The J Crew coat is probably more suitable for the average child that needs to go to school etc.

Two things are going on from what I can see:

It’s a super expensive coat. For mere mortals. Angelina Jolie is not a mere mortal – she’s worth hundreds of millions of dollars and dresses herself and her children accordingly. We’ve seen her kids in Circo, we’ve seen them in Gucci. It’s all the same to her.

It’s yet another example of Shiloh’s eccentric fashion sense – she had a pirate hat and a sword in a few of these pics – she was clearly dressing like a pirate. So she is a tomboy. Her mother AND father are letting her be a tomboy with a gigantic expense account attached.

I think if the brand had been from Target, and it had been on a boy, then people would be applauding the parent (whoever it is) for letting their kid be dressed as a pirate in public – the way that many of us let our kids wear their dress up clothes outside the house.

We just don’t have Ralph Lauren brand dress up clothes.

Zahara’s coat with the Peter pan collar and smocked with buttons all the way down was also Ralph Lauren. It was less expensive (229.99) and not costumey.

Love Shiloh’s coat though, totally fits her.

Momof3girls: She spends millions around the world, both charitably as well as through filming, and she’s a hypocrite because she buys her kids’ clothes with the money she has left over from her earnings? So… when you tithe at church, but then go to the grocery store and get the cereal that’s *not* on sale, you’re a hypocrite too, then, right?

(a) This website is for entertainment purposes, not actual purchasing suggestions. If you have enough money to take purchasing suggestions from people.com, then great. But I think they (corporate giant who owns the site) understands that most of us probably wouldn’t put our kid in very many of the clothes we see ADVERTISED here. Because that’s what all this is: A way to drive advertising dollars into the pockets of large corporations who make this expensive claptrap.

(b) @ Blahblahblah: How is letting a three year old pick out her clothes comparable to letting them endanger themselves with knives at the age of 10? Clothes: Not usually deadly. And there was that story a few weeks ago in which Angelina Jolie did actually say no to the dead pet Shiloh wanted to bring home, so I think they’ve got a lock on what good little girls should or shouldn’t be doing with dangerous implements.

Angelina claims she is encouraging individuality, but I think buying your daughter a $425 coat that looks like a $15 costume is just encouraging lack of common sense. IMO.

Seriously, momof3girls?? Angelina and Brad donate MILLIONS of dollars to those less fortunate. They have worked for their money, they’ve earned it, and $425 isn’t that much to them – they’re entitled to put their money where they want to (within the law) and they have been extremely generous with it.

momof3girls, so because Angelina goes to less fortunate countries and donates millions of dollars of her own money(she does not collect and ask for donations from others like other celebrities)annualy for different causes here and abroad, she has to live like a poor person? I thought people on this site were actually complaining that she does not dress her kids nice enough, so this is the first for me. I think you’ll be the happiest if she gives away all her money and move to one of these countries and you don’t have to see the pictures of her kids anymore, isn’t it?

Why is she a hypocrite? She’s never said anyone shouldn’t spend their money on themselves nor their children. When she goes to Afganistan or where ever it is to campaign for womens and/or childrens rights. Yes she has been to disaster areas such as Pakistan even New Orleans but why is it her sole responsibility to help these places? She went there to highlight the plight of the people and get the GOVERNMENT of the counteries to assist its people. Where is the hypocracy?

It’s her money, Shiloh obviously likes her jacket, so wheres the problem?

the jacket i noticed is in the GIRLS section of the RL website, so that whole Shiloh is being forced into boys clothing theory doesn’ quite hold water anymore but then again it never did.

there are three jackets at different price points included in this post clearly the sentiment is that if you like the style but not the price tag there are cheaper options.

no need for theatrics. buy one of the three or none at all.

In the world of fashion, it’s not called “wearing boys’ clothes” – it’s called looking and dressing “androgynous”, and it’s extremely trendy. Not that trends really effect little kids, but still…people shouldn’t be so up in arms about Angelina Jolie’s children are wearing. If you don’t have anything positive to contribute, then why are you wasting your time?

She looks like a mini FAO Schwarz soldier :)

@blahblahblah: That’s a terrible comparison. I let my kids pick what they want to wear – the only rules are that they’re not allowed to wear dress-up clothes to play in the dirt and they have to wear clothes that are appropriate to the season. Beyond that, I let them wear whatever they want. And I always have. And I can assure you, that did not turn into a gateway to playing with knives.

Wow, are some of you communists, or something? Are rich people not allowed to spend money on what they want?

What is wrong with buying a 425 dollar coat? How does that make her a hypocrite?

Its her money and she can buy whatever she wants with it. It seems to me like some of you are jealous because Angelina can afford a 425 dollar coat for her 4 year old daughter, and many of you could only dream to.

There is nothing wrong with being rich and wasting money on seemingly worthless things. Its the rich people who “waste” money that help our economy. Did it ever occur to you that rich people making expensive purchases keep businesses running, and keep people employed? With so many business shutting down and going bankrupt, and millions of people losing their jobs, you should be happy that Angelina is nice enough to buy a 425 dollar coat, which probably saved at least one person from being downsized.

If rich people were frugal, imagine how much worse our economy would be right now!!!

But no… It would be better if we would be living under communism, and we all would be making the same salary regardless of our education or skill level, and we would be prohibited from buying extravagant things which we worked hard for. *rolls eyes*

I remember an article, I think it was just after Shiloh was born. Apparently some expensive brand had sent Angelina & Brad some kids clothes for free and they sent them back saying they didn’t want their kids to be walking billboards. And now Shiloh gets a $425 Ralph Lauren jacket? And wasn’t Zahara seen with a $1000 Vuitton or whatever brand leather bag, that was a mini version of Angelina’s? Sounds a bit inconsistent to me. Why send items back … just to go buy them afterwards?

I still mourn the princess dress coat my mother wouldn’t buy me when I was 16, and I still don’t wear the sensible dress coat she bought me instead if I can help it. Since then I have bought other coats that I love, some cheap, some more expensive, most of them good quality (and many of them second hand). When you buy clothes, wether it is for yourself or for your children, you should not only take into account if you can afford the item and if it befits the season, but also if it will be worn with joy or resentment. After all, wouldn’t you rather wear something that you like than something that is just OK (or even worse,something you hate)? While I couldn’t afford the coats (I’d rather pay my rent), both Zaharah and Shiloh look happy in their coats, they are of good quality and warm enough and Angie and Brad can afford them, so I don’t really see the problem.

Not just rich people buy expensive things. As long as they handle their responsibilities (read pay monthly bills) working class people buy things they like for themselves, their family and homes; they buy cars, jewelry and expensive clothing, too. This is America and all classes of people spend their money as they wish. It was not just rich people at the stores at 6AM Black Friday :-) If only the wealthy (as the JPs are)
were shopping, the stores in NY would be much less crowded.

I can’t believe how caddy some people can be really! Angelina does not ask to be photographed every time she leaves her home, she does not purchase clothes for her kids just to get a reaction from the people, this is her life, she can afford to spend money like this on her kids so what’s the big deal. If I could afford to have a 10 ct. diamond ring on my finger I would have it and not give a darn what people thought but that is not my life style. I think the coat is sweet and looks great on her and if she’s happy that’s what it’s all about…Angelina is not spending our money, she is spending her own…

I’m shocked. Angelina walks around poor children in 3rd world countries who don’t have 2 cents to rub between their fingers and she’s going out and spending $425 on a jacket that looks like a Nut Cracker should be wearing??? I see she has her priorities in check. What is that telling a child who is given a $425 jacket? …she’s not going to know the value of a dollar when she gets older. LOVELY!!!! Future of America right here folks!

hey if she wants to fork out $10000 for a jacket for her child, why not if she has the money and can afford expensive things for her kids, like people here are always criticizing celebs, and calling them down when we all know that if we had money like she does, we would buy expensive gifts for our children, its normal and i know i would. What appeals to my eye can by different to you, but we all have the tendency to go overboard with our kids

@Allie-Rose, I think their policy is not to get freebies since they can afford them, because accepting one and being seen using it would be to advertise the company and they don’t want to walk around like living billboards. But they have to wear clothes, and are at liberty to buy any clothes they want, wether it is inexpensive brands like circo or more expensive brands like Ralph Lauren. I don’t see it as inconsistent, they have made a decision not to accept freebies, and they stand by it. Besides, one of the most frequent complaints on this site regards the amount of freebies celebrities get, most notably in form of sponsored birthday parties and baby showers, but also when it comes to gift bags and gifitng suits.

All those jackets are waaaay too much $ for me!! They are cute though and Shiloh is adorable!!! :)

Personally, I believe in capitalism. Angelina and Brad can spend their money on whatever they want.

erin, if everyone started buying from goodwill instead of buying new clothes we’d soon run out of clothes since they would wear out. I see nothing wrong in buying new or even expensive clothes if you can afford it. They donate a lot of money to charity, but do you expect them to give away everything they earn? I’d say it’d be more charitable to buy new clothes and donate them to goodwill after they are finished with them (provided they are still in good condition), then they’d put more clothes into ciculation, that can be bought by those who couldn’t afford a new coat. Besides, that coat has helped several people keep their jobs just by being made and sold. It has given income towards the people who grew the cotton/bred the sheep, spun the yarn, produced they dye, dyed the yarn, wove the cloth, cut the cloth, sew the pieces of cloth together, transported the fiber to the spinner, the yarn to the dyer and the weaver, the cloth to the cutter and the seamstress, the finished garment to the store. If no more new clothes were made or sold, all these people would have to look for a new job, and there wouldn’t be enough jobs at the goodwill shops for them.

I love that some of you are complaining about the purchase like the money came from your own wallet. If you don’t want to buy the jacket, don’t. That doesn’t mean you get to dictate how others spend their money.

If you’re so up in arms about it, I’d suggest you take that energy and put it into a worthy cause since apparently Angelina Jolie isn’t doing the same.

Ana: i totally agree, you summed up my thoughts exactly! Certain people on this site will have a go at this family simple because they are who they are!
Ridiculous, and so, so childish!

I think it looks cute, and Shiloh looks really happy and healthy. The JP’s can afford to dress them how they please, so why would they buy cheap clothes?! the cost is all relative to earnings, and if even after tax and giving HUGE sums of money away to charity, as well as feeding and keeping a roof over the heads of their children, surely how much they choose to spend on dressing them is their decision???

In 2007 alone Angelina and Brad donated at least $8.4 million dollars to charity, $5 million of which went to the Make It Right project in New Orleans and $1 million of which went to Afghani refugees in Pakistan.

In 2008 Angelina and Brad donated at least $13.5 million dollars to charity, $1 million of which went to The Global Health Committee for an Ethiopian clinic project, half a million to Armed Services YMCA USA, and more than $1 million to WildAid MJP Project in Cambodia.

So yes, I think Angelina is entitled to purchase an expensive coat for her daughter if she wishes.

Some people act like it came out of their checking account, stop all the hating & jealousy!! I think all the kids are adorable & look happy, healthy, and fun-loving!!! Angelina & Brad seem to dote on their kids just like other parents (even though they have a higher income)good for them!!!

Don’t celebs get sent and given a lot of free clothing? The publicity from this shot would be invaluable

She looks so much like Brad with Angie’s lips.

Seriously, everytime this family steps out with Shiloh~it’s as though Angelina is TRYING to put her best effort into a sloppy orphan look with this one child. Come on, the hair is never combed. The boots are almost never laced up. She looks as though no time at all was spent on forethought. Not saying this is the case, but is Mom a bit jealous of the attention this baby girl could take away from her?

People think this girl looks cute, in an expensive jacket, but she only looks like a boy in military costume , which is not normal for a a girl, hey Angelina please pay attention to the kids u are raising, they way this girl looks is not normal, when she gets 16 , she will ask you for some guns to play around the house wearing a rambo costume ….

Why is this site not being monitored to ward off all this bashing of a child!!!! People, get on the ball and erase all these losers with their nasty comments!

Is it just me,or does Shiloh look just like Rick Shroeder when he played Jon Voight’s ( her grandpa) son in “The Champ?” I think she’s adorable.

Cute jacket, just a tad bit out of my price range though..I think it’s great that they let their kids pick out their own clothes..My two have benn picking theirs since they were like 3 and are 8 now..If they can afford it (duh) more power to them..As has been pointed out, they donates millions each year, so some people just need to grow up..

I think she looks ridiculous. Just because something costs a lot of money doesn’t mean it’s a must-have. I bet I could convince people to buy $500 flour sacks if I called it high fashion. (Or do they already sell that? Celebs will buy anything.) What waste of cash and a would-be pretty little girl.

I wish for just one day, I could have no money worries and spend this amount on something for my kids OR even myself.

well, ppl maybe u didnt get the memo…but she’s filthy rich. and ppl already pay for stuff at that price, its normal. besides, what economy r u talking about. me and my dad hav not been affected by the economy, he makes decent money…$45,000 to $50,000 a year lol

I think she is lacking in affection for her daughter. Look at the way Shiloh is holding her hand but mom(?) isn’t holding hers. Jolie has referred to Shiloh as goofy and a blob, while saying beautiful things about the other kids. Makes me wonder and notice the body language with Shiloh.

The Noticer,

are also aware that Gwen Stefani and Matthew McC also referred to their children as blobs.

Matthew did on live tv???? And Gwen way before Angelina ever did??

Do you get on websites and cast assertions on their relationships with their children? Or do not notice their lack of caring?

Angelina has said plenty of beautiful things about Shiloh. She’s clearly a comedienne and has her mom laughing plenty of times each day. And Shiloh’s holding her mother’s hand in that way because she’s pulling her forward, wanting to quickly get into the shop because she’s excited.

“Shiloh’s hysterically funny, one of the goofiest, most playful people you’ll ever meet.”

Jolie says that when she was growing up she was most like her daughter Shiloh: “[She’s] goofy and verbal, the early signs of a performer… I used to get dressed up in costumes and jump around.”

“Shi’s so full of light and love, she’s just a little honey, and very, very funny.”
