That's a pretty&nbsp;impressive collection of leathers your way,&nbsp;Anna. My concern is the colour, as you are blonde-so chocks, tans and purple ones may suit you/your wardrobe,&nbsp; better. Perhaps it's not quite haphazarduous you didn't buy one&nbsp; iconic in black&nbsp;up to date:-). You even have that one dressier, and that's probably how you feel about black leather...It surely&nbsp;&nbsp;can make some sense to consider this point, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-an-iconic-black-moto-jacket#post-964005 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 06:06:40 +0000 rae 964005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara has a good idea... Even if it takes you a long time to wear the others, the good thing about iconic jackets is they will always be around </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-an-iconic-black-moto-jacket#post-963959 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 03:36:36 +0000 MNsara 963959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wear them to work then!&nbsp; </p> <p>Just make yourself wear them - to see if they still have a place in your heart and your closet!&nbsp; Sometimes just wearing one is annoying, and you won't know unless you wear it.</p> <p>If it has been a year or two, our tastes and preferences shift.&nbsp; You won't know it until you force yourself to wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-an-iconic-black-moto-jacket#post-963956 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 03:30:23 +0000 annagybe 963956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MNSara, under my current work schedule it would take me months to wear each leather jacket twice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-an-iconic-black-moto-jacket#post-963952 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 03:27:05 +0000 MNsara 963952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not even clicking on the link.&nbsp; I saw your list of leather, and I'm thinking you might just have the same love of leather that I do.&nbsp; It just draws me in.&nbsp; I love the look of it, the feel of it, heck, even the smell of it.&nbsp; I just don't love wearing it as much as I do fondling it.</p> <p>If you're not wearing the all leather you already own, then <b>wait </b>on any iconic black leather.&nbsp; </p> <p>Make yourself wear each current leather piece at least TWICE before you buy any more.&nbsp; If after the second wearing, you don't still love that piece, decide why and let it go (sell? donate?)</p> <p>After you've made your way through your current collection, you might have room for iconic black, or an understanding of why you're not wearing. . .</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-an-iconic-black-moto-jacket#post-963947 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 03:18:26 +0000 bj1111 963947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing echo (sorry ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-an-iconic-black-moto-jacket#post-963894 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 02:21:12 +0000 rae 963894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'm trying to think in context of your recent epiphany that you like your shoes and jackets to be interesting. I am not sure this style fits that description per se. I personally feel your fireworks moto gives the same vibe but is way more unique.&nbsp;</p> <p>And if you are looking for the oposite,&nbsp;something to go with more ALGO tops, then I'd vote for something even more pared down with less detail... like a leather&nbsp;jacket version of your BB shirt.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-an-iconic-black-moto-jacket#post-963869 Tue, 25 Jun 2013 01:50:55 +0000 Echo 963869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't imagine a black moto not being a necessity for everyone! But the first thing that strikes me is that you don't have one, so is this a perceived need or would it actually fill a wardrobe hole? In other words, if you would have reached for one in the past if you had it in the closet then it is a worthwhile buy, but if you really haven't missed not having it, then don't bother. They aren't for everyone. You clearly like and wear leather, but the black motorcycle jacket is a completely different feel from coloured leathers (which are fantastic, too).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-an-iconic-black-moto-jacket#post-963785 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 23:27:19 +0000 unfrumped 963785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>T'd think style first and then color. Sure, funny colors are hard to wear, but a leather jacket&nbsp;ought to really FEEL good and look fab with a variety of bottoms,&nbsp;and/or&nbsp;dresses. I don't like the belty things hanging because that adds fussiness, to me. I also need&nbsp;the collar to not flop and do funny things.&nbsp;( take this with extra salt, coming from a person with only one leather clothing item, ever, currently a chocolate brown leather jacket.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-an-iconic-black-moto-jacket#post-963774 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 23:08:20 +0000 DonnaF 963774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both of those motos have a super heavy duty masculine vibe.&nbsp; Do you feel like that vibe is a piece that is missing from your wardrobe?&nbsp; I'd love a jacket like that when I have to walk through a sketchy area tomorrow night!</p> <p>IMHO, I think the belts on both of those jackets would make one look huge through the waist.&nbsp; I recognize that figure flattery is not a top goal for you, but I also think those jackets are not nearly as interesting as your other ones.&nbsp; Lastly, I prefer non-black next to your face due to your coloring.&nbsp; But if you go for a black leather moto, get the one with the gold hardware for your hair and for uniqueness.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-an-iconic-black-moto-jacket#post-963772 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 23:07:40 +0000 Sara L. 963772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you feel a need for a black leather moto? &nbsp;You have so many other leather jackets that I'm wondering if it would get a lot of use or if you've noticed that a black one would fill a wardrobe hole. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-an-iconic-black-moto-jacket#post-963769 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 23:04:58 +0000 Anonymous 963769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, sounds to me like you need to pare down your leather collection for pieces you know you will always reach for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-an-iconic-black-moto-jacket#post-963768 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 23:03:38 +0000 ironkurtin 963768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say ditch the ones you won't wear for one you will. You clearly do wear leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-an-iconic-black-moto-jacket#post-963758 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 22:46:57 +0000 Nicole D 963758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What colour was James Dean's hardware? &nbsp;I kinda like the gold. &nbsp;Would look good with your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-an-iconic-black-moto-jacket#post-963756 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 22:44:56 +0000 Diana 963756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do wear mine all the time. It works with outfits that would be too OTT with,say, my turquoise quilted leather moto. Mine has black hardware and the leather has a slightly distressed texture which I prefer over shiny, smooth leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-an-iconic-black-moto-jacket#post-963741 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 22:27:03 +0000 annagybe 963741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh there's this one with gold hardware</p> <p><a href="http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374306580855&#038;PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446591871&#038;R=478574184585&#038;P_name=Acne&#038;N=306580855&#038;bmUID=jZPD017" rel="nofollow">http://www.saksfifthavenue.com.....ID=jZPD017</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-an-iconic-black-moto-jacket#post-963736 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 22:13:23 +0000 Nicole D 963736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a beautiful classic jacket. &nbsp;You would wear it to death. &nbsp;Maybe you can sell the unworn to offset your need for an intervention! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-an-iconic-black-moto-jacket#post-963735 Mon, 24 Jun 2013 22:11:01 +0000 annagybe 963735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/334453" rel="nofollow">http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/334453</a></p> <p>My black leather jacket is collarless with lacing up the side by Nanette Lepore. It's a bit dressy. I have the black woven leather Improvd moto, but that is summer only because you can feel the slightest hint of breeze.<br /> Other leathers:<br /> White moto with band collar and random quilting (total workhorse for me)<br /> Cognac-caramelly leather moto by Carven.<br /> Chocolate suede moto by Alexander Wang<br /> Dark purple fireworks moto by MSGM<br /> Orange perforated moto<br /> Tan leather jacket, very basic style, spent a small fortune getting it altered, to end up not wearing it.<br /> Long chocolate leather trench, also had altered and still don't wear it.</p> <p>Or do I need a intervention? </p>
