BB Dakota is a great brand. I’m glad you’re keeping the jacket because it’s fabulous – waxy texture and all :0) greenglove on "faux leather jacket- cannot decide, too shiny and fake??" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-cannot-decide-too-shiny-and-fake#post-116144 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 16:15:55 +0000 greenglove 116144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think I am keeping. Thank you everyone. I will post a picture in an outfit soon!

I vote keep.

For reference, it's one of the more affordable brands that's sold on shopbop.com and revolveclothing.com (high-ish end online boutiques--not net-a-porter.com but not mall stores, either). Like Laura, I've also seen it at independent brick & mortar boutiques. (It's currently enjoying a little bit of press for making the sweatshirt/jacket Bella wore in Twilight.) yublocka on "faux leather jacket- cannot decide, too shiny and fake??" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-cannot-decide-too-shiny-and-fake#post-116072 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 09:37:58 +0000 yublocka 116072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jean I have never heard of brand, and think it is really difficult to comment on the quality of material without seeing and feeling it. Having said that the fit is great, and the overall style looks great! It doesn't look cheap in your pic at all, so go with your gut on the feel of the material. How do you like wearing it?

I've switched back and forth on a decision so have avoided posting but i think she has summed up this jacket perfectly x greenglove on "faux leather jacket- cannot decide, too shiny and fake??" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-cannot-decide-too-shiny-and-fake#post-115935 Sat, 09 Jan 2010 20:06:00 +0000 greenglove 115935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow Julie, Never thought of that- an interesting texture that does not look like leather or pleather. Maybe that is something to ponder. Thanks everyone- still deciding- I may try to post another picture. Angie are you there? What do you think of Julie's take and have you heard of this brand BBDakota (Jack)?

I LOVE IT, it does not look like leather, nor does it look like pleather. It looks sort of waxed and certainly does not look cheap. If you want your jacket to look leather then I would pass but if you want an interesting texture then keep.

I vote keep as well. It doesn't look cheapy to me. marianne on "faux leather jacket- cannot decide, too shiny and fake??" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-cannot-decide-too-shiny-and-fake#post-115808 Sat, 09 Jan 2010 05:20:08 +0000 marianne 115808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The jacket looks great, no wonder you can't part with it, Jean. It's hard to judge the texture from the picture. In my experience with the brand, they have good designs and quality is usually OK - but I have no idea about their pleather. I love the outfit with the sweater and the necklace, very pretty!

But the flash is making it hard to evaluate the actual texture of the material.

I was saying it may seem shinier than usual under the camera's flash. Personally, I agree with medusa. Keep! medusa on "faux leather jacket- cannot decide, too shiny and fake??" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-cannot-decide-too-shiny-and-fake#post-115748 Sat, 09 Jan 2010 01:53:11 +0000 medusa 115748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Personally I think it's supposed to be shiny - that's part of the look. I like it quite a lot. I vote keep.

Also, your hair is SO pretty.

And I love the sweater too! I recently purchased a faux leather jacket that looked plastic. Yours doesn't. It has some texture which helps.

There isn't much jacket showing in the pic. Do you think you could also post a pic with it zipped up and maybe even a back view? greenglove on "faux leather jacket- cannot decide, too shiny and fake??" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-leather-jacket-cannot-decide-too-shiny-and-fake#post-115620 Fri, 08 Jan 2010 19:31:34 +0000 greenglove 115620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am going back and forth on this jacket. I like the fitted quality and the style. Is it too shiny and fake looking? I have almost brought it back a zillion times and then tried it on and liked the fit again. The fitted sleeve is hard to find. Only 10 rating will do. Is Jack BB Dakota a good brand? <a href="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e265/greenglove/IMG_5952.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i41.photobucket.com/alb.....G_5952.jpg</a> Thanks!!!
