And you won't have to worry about sweating in it indoors. A lot more versatile too as you could even wear it in the summer on airplanes, etc. where it's just a little chilly but leather is too warm. Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto/page/2#post-730254 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 12:51:54 +0000 ManidipaM 730254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay for a great find, Suz! I love how flattering that collar is on your slender neck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-730212 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 11:33:16 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 730212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent choice Suz. A black moto does not need to be leather. I have a wool one, also with gold zippers, and wear it at least once a week during the cold seasons. The fit is gorgeous and the price can't be beat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-730185 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 08:45:52 +0000 CocoLion 730185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! I have been thinking the same thing. I have a Pinterest board for leather jackets and non-leather (including non-faux leather) is included as well. In fact, even coats. Just so I don't get tunnel vision in my quest to find THE perfect leather jacket. I'm trying to think globally. Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-730172 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 07:28:43 +0000 lyn67 730172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hooray, go for it!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-730153 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 04:41:47 +0000 rae 730153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this! The jacket and the strategy. When the right leather moto comes, you will know exactly how to style it and how the look fits into your life. </p> <p>FWIW, I actually like this jacket better than the Zara. The gold tone hardware and 3/4 sleeves make it feel more feminine, artsy, and dressy - less 50s punk tomboy for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-730114 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 03:37:32 +0000 Anonymous 730114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this on you! To my eye the waxed denim seems very fashion forward. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-730110 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 03:27:38 +0000 unfrumped 730110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I mean WHEN it comes along! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-730109 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 03:26:32 +0000 unfrumped 730109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! A fabric moto gives you different possibilities- in warmer weather, with lighter weight dresses, or, since fit has more ease, with heavier sweaters. sounds like you can embrace those to your advantage and still have room for leather Shen it comes along. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-730056 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 02:11:08 +0000 sarah 730056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep! Hooray, and have fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-730052 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 01:58:43 +0000 Debora 730052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up from me, Suz! The perfect solution until the right leather one comes along. I much prefer the fit of this one, especially through the back. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-730004 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 00:43:56 +0000 bj1111 730004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>if i had this, i would not look for the same style in leather any time soon. i would look for a burgundy leather in a different silhouette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-729965 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 00:14:02 +0000 Transcona Shannon 729965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is fabulous on you Suz! Talk about a perfect fit - everywhere! Love it and can hardly wait to see it styled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-729903 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 23:30:05 +0000 Mo 729903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great idea! I got a starter crop zip cotton moto 2 summers back and loved it. (subsequent attempts to dye and re dye it ruined it - boo). But that little $15 let me know I will get plenty of wear out of my crop blush MuuBaa.<br /> This fits great, and the bonus of wash and wear ability is awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-729901 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 23:29:01 +0000 Angie 729901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There you go! Great strategy and all sorted </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-729900 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 23:28:52 +0000 krishnidoux 729900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>...Until you find the perfect one! This is very cute and you wear it so well, but I hope owning it doesn't stop you from looking for the perfect moto, because I think you would really enjoy a leather moto jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-729896 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 23:26:31 +0000 Suz 729896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! Thanks, Angie. You are so right. I'll be showing a possible WritersFest outfit incorporating it. </p> <p>This actually feels like the right choice - the fit is better, it's a lot easier on my pocketbook, and I think for now I don't need the leather, per se. As soon as the right one turns up, though, you can bet I will be pouncing on it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-729893 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 23:23:56 +0000 Angie 729893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER! Go for it :). No sleeve alterations required - even better. </p> <p>I'm so glad that you have a little black moto, Suz. You really needed one!</p> <p>Also, there is room for many leather and pleather jackets. You have your life time ahead of you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-729890 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 23:21:24 +0000 Caro in Oz 729890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great on you &amp; as Carole said it takes the pressure off - which is a good thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-729847 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 22:42:48 +0000 Carole 729847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, Suz! The jacket looks fab and looks like it fits great, too. I think having this will take the pressure off finding the leather moto of your dreams, sort of like a test drive and then a back up jacket when you do find IT! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-729844 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 22:40:06 +0000 K. Period. 729844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! It looks great on you. And I really love the idea of getting your feet wet with a smaller purchase first so that you can feel happy and 100% confident when you go to buy your real one. Moto jackets are always going to be around. You'll be able to find one when you are ready to commit. In the meantime, you're able to wear this and figure out how essential it is to your style. Kind of like my placeholder statement jacket. Hooray for a placeholder! (And I am so grateful to know that I'm not the only person analyzes and worries before taking a style leap!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-729843 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 22:38:36 +0000 Suz 729843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh- THANK you!!! </p> <p>I'm so glad it meets approval. It's actually a size up from ideal, but luckily I have wide shoulders so it fits there...and I can now layer under AND over! Yes! </p> <p>Anna, you're right - gold hardware, and I like it, too - I think it plays well with my hair. </p> <p>I am going to take the Zara jacket back and wait for the perfect leather jacket to show up. In the meantime, this will be a little workhorse! </p> <p>I am everlastingly grateful to Angie for encouraging me to try the Zara jacket because she reminded me of the value of such an iconic piece and I just know the right one will be out there for me eventually. </p> <p>Ariadne: check H&amp;M this week. I am almost certain this is a brand new item. It cost $49. Quite a lot more reasonable than actual leather. And I think it is a BBQ situation! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-729832 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 22:25:46 +0000 Ariadne 729832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think so! i *love* waxed denim and this one looks great. And drat, why was this not in my H&amp;M (that I saw) last week? I was looking for this exact thing--a simple, fast fashion black moto to get me through the season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-729814 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 22:03:48 +0000 Inge 729814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Una said:-)</p> <p>FWIW: I do really love the real leather jacket on you too, Suz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-729807 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 21:59:23 +0000 annagybe 729807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks like it has gold hardware which I like even more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-729803 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 21:57:36 +0000 Anonymous 729803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, it's the perfect solution in addition to the leather moto out there waiting for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-729796 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 21:53:30 +0000 Claudia 729796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a total home run out of the ball park, Suz. You look fantastic and this will be so, so versatile. LOVE it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-729795 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 21:50:10 +0000 kellygirl 729795@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this. It looks perfect in every way and seems lots easier to wear than a leather jacket--especially indoors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-729790 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 21:46:42 +0000 catgirl 729790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, although this is not a substitute for leather, there is no reason not to add it to your closet. It looks fab, I see NO doubts about any fit issues or alterations, and you look positively over the moon. I don't see this as a fast fix but an alternative that will continue to play in your closet even after you find THE leather jacket. Plus this will be much easier to layer over. </p> <p>Yes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fast-fashion-fix-alternative-black-moto#post-729789 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 21:46:29 +0000 Debbie 729789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you! Seems like it would have great versitility. </p>
