Can one have too many moto jackets?

Anonymous

I'm liking the moto style jacket as a casual alternative for a denim jacket and am seeing several I like this season. I have the NAS brown leather like Michelle's, a black twill version and cream knit and leather sweater version. The teal (or grey) pleather jacket that Tanya posted is calling to me. Target also has a black or grey one that is a nice fit and very inexpensive.
At my age, should I stick to the more expensive and/or less zipper embellished styles? Or should I stock up in different colors if it looks good? The moto style seems to look better on me than military styling.
Also, these are too warm for about 4 months of the year and not warm enough without a top coat for another 4 months in our climate. The NAS weight is probably wearable into winter on more mild days. Help me to think clearly on this. I don't want to waste money but also don't want to pass up an opportunity.

That means you'd only get about 4 months wear out of them. I think personally i'd stick to the ones you have it would be awful to have lots of them and not get the wear out of them. Sorry x

I agree with Loulou. I guess it depends on whether or not you would feel a hole in your wardrobe without it (them).

I have been wondering the same thing. From November-April I'm too cold for my moto jacket. Even in May it's usually too cold and I end up needing my trench instead most days. Then from June-August it's too hot. So that leaves September, and part of May and part of October. So I concluded that having more than one is just not practical for me. I think it's a much better idea for me to focus my energy on a new winter coat since I only have one right now. So I guess I would say it depends. Is there anything else in your wardrobe that needs updating/filling in?

It depends, but I think that two is a good number (of different colors), more than two is too much and don't forget that trends pass quickly and next year you may not even like them

2 would be my max. Frees up money for your next purchase! Plus, the Target one may go on uber-clearance later on!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! That's what I needed to hear. I've decided that if I find an uber fab perfect jacket in cream or grey at a great price, I will consider it and toss my other cream one.
