Not sure why, maybe the embellishments, maybe the thickness of the leather. The hoodie looks fun and "now" to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-leather-jacket-replacement#post-1309737 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 12:30:16 +0000 Deborah 1309737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet they both look fantastic on you but I would be inclined to go with the hooded jacket. This one looks different to anything I recall you already owning and I love the fit, shape and the way it falls on you. I can also see it working well with your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-leather-jacket-replacement#post-1309716 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 12:10:22 +0000 ironkurtin 1309716@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm ignoring the comments. Love the gray moto. It fits you beautifully. I get your concern about Too Msny Motos, but I'd do #1 or wait. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-leather-jacket-replacement#post-1309708 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 11:57:53 +0000 pastrygirl 1309708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My initial thought was the moto, but all the comments changed my mind! Especially yours, Janet -- that you don't want to pass up this item at a great price, but do you really need it?</p> <p>I also have to add that I glossed over every single item that you've picked out from NAS...until I saw them on you!! The R&amp;B jeans (front view, LOL), the Current/Elliot metallic top, and now this Hinge hoodie (I'd like the lighter color). It's not available in my size but now I'm stalking it. </p> <p>Really, I haven't even NOTICED these things until I saw them on you, and now I wants them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-leather-jacket-replacement#post-1309618 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 06:16:17 +0000 Eliza 1309618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually prefer the hoodie, in terms of its shape and silhouette. Not usually a hoodie person, but I love the combo of clean lines and casual. Also, I find the pocket flap placement on the moto distracting. Could just be my simplicity groove speaking. Love the idea of gray leather topper! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-leather-jacket-replacement#post-1309607 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 05:28:28 +0000 sparks 1309607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that hoody. If I had a need for a leather jacket I'd be all over it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-leather-jacket-replacement#post-1309589 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 04:27:53 +0000 deb 1309589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the first one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-leather-jacket-replacement#post-1309571 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 03:51:43 +0000 Gracie 1309571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both and I think they both fit you pretty well. IF I had to choose, it will be the hoodie, since it will provide a variety in silhouettes. Do you have to choose just one? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-leather-jacket-replacement#post-1309556 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 03:27:10 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1309556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You've sold me on the hoody! Sounds like it would be a great addition, something different, fun, and easy to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-leather-jacket-replacement#post-1309543 Mon, 21 Jul 2014 03:03:11 +0000 Elizabeth P 1309543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh boy, tough choice. I really like both, but the hoodie is more "unique", which is a nice feature. I think the colour difference is impt, they seem quite different tones, which one fits into your wardrobe better? </p> <p>Hmm, wonder if Danier has thought of a hoodie... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-leather-jacket-replacement#post-1309174 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 21:00:18 +0000 Janet 1309174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I appreciate the feedback! </p> <p>I like the moto, but I have to say, now that I've been considering it in the context of my wardrobe, I am not so sure I want another leather moto. I almost hate to pass up a well-fitting, high-quality leather moto at a good price, but is it really the best addition to my wardrobe right now? Yikes, who have I become? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-leather-jacket-replacement#post-1309109 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 19:59:52 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1309109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both, but I find that the hoodie is slightly more flattering and I agree that it looks better for wearing in the house. Moto jackets do tend towards bulk/ stiffness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-leather-jacket-replacement#post-1309056 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 18:43:26 +0000 carter 1309056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, the color is much different in the find. As you said, it does still have hint of brown, but it's decidedly grey. I think the hoodie may see a lot more wear. Plus, if you do add some brown to your F/W wardrobe (as you mentioned in my thread), the hoodie feels really right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-leather-jacket-replacement#post-1309048 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 18:30:59 +0000 BethL 1309048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The moto is great, Janet, but, as you said, I think you probably have that covered. However, I love the hoodie on you! It's a different silhouette, it fits you well, and the color suits you. I think I actually prefer the color of the hoodie on you over the color of the moto. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-leather-jacket-replacement#post-1309042 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 18:27:11 +0000 Janet 1309042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the thoughts, ladies! </p> <p>The color of the hoodie is not as brown as it appears in the photos -- I guess the lighting is distorting it. I added it to my Finds below so you can see the stock photo. The color might be a little warmer than in the stock photo, but I would not call it brown. The color of the moto is cooler and lighter. </p> <p>I would want this jacket to be useful as indoor and outdoor wear. This is actually where I feel like the hoodie has a bit of advantage -- it will function better as an outerwear piece because of the ability to layer under it. I also like that the hoodie is a little less precious and more casual, so I can knock around in it more, while still looking somewhat polished (as in, more polished than a beat-up denim jacket) -- the moto I'd be more concerned about damaging. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-leather-jacket-replacement#post-1309026 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 18:07:33 +0000 unfrumped 1309026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket looks good and would be easier to dress up or down, and is more of a true gray on my monitor. The hoodie is fun and may be a direction you want to go but does not have the same polish. It looks quite brownish. <br />Are you aiming for indoor or outdoor wear? If indoor you might want an even lighter weight style than these. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-leather-jacket-replacement#post-1309022 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 18:03:00 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1309022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, I like both on you! Truthfully, the moto looks more "you," but that's perhaps just because I've seen you in them before. I like the length of it, and the fit is just perfect looking. <br />The hoody I've seen in person, though, too, and I really, really like it. I considered trying it on because I thought a leather hoodie would be a fun change. So I could see you getting it for something different. <br />I'm with Carter--the hoodie seems more brownish in color. Would one color work better than the other for your purposes? </p> <p>Oh, and fwiw, I do think a gray leather jacket is more versatile than a gray fabric one. Unless you go with gray denim. I just think the leather works as a neutral better than a fabric does--with the fabric, I feel compelled to match it in an outfit, whereas I don't feel so compelled with leather or denim.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-leather-jacket-replacement#post-1309018 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 17:54:54 +0000 carter 1309018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yikes! I really like both! The hoodie looks like a more taupe grey on my monitor. That particular color would fit better with my F/W wardrobe. Does one color work better with your's? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/grey-leather-jacket-replacement#post-1309002 Sun, 20 Jul 2014 17:31:14 +0000 Janet 1309002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Last year I purged an old grey leather jacket that I never wore anymore because it was getting worn-looking and no longer reflected my current style, plus it was just a little bit big on me. </p> <p>I've really been enjoying my white leather jacket as a black jacket alternative, and of course I still love my other jackets, but I am considering a replacement for the grey jacket, while grey seems to be trending. White is not always the right neutral for my F/W outfits. And for years, it was impossible to find a grey jacket. </p> <p>I have these two under consideration. One (pics 1-4) is by Truth &amp; Pride, via Nordstrom, and on significant sale. It's a moto style, and as we all know, motos fit well with my personal style, but I already have the moto silhouette covered, so even though I like this, I'm wondering if I should go for a different style. </p> <p>The other (pics 5-8) is from NAS: the Hinge leather hoodie. I actually ordered it online in a M, then tried it on in store and thought the M was too snug across the shoulders and bought the L. Well, the M arrived at my house and it fits just fine, while the L that I bought just feels too large in comparison. I like that it's casual and a completely different style from my other jackets. I don't like the long fringey things hanging from the zipper pulls and would probably cut those off. As you can see, it's a darker grey than the moto. It's also about half the price of the T&amp;P moto. I like that this style is a little longer and would be easier to layer underneath. The moto feels more limiting. </p> <p>It was late and I was tired when I took these photos, so of course the jackets are not styled, but I think you can get the idea. </p> <p>I'm not in any kind of hurry to replace the grey jacket, and in fact, I'm not certain I need to. However, I do have a bit of FOMO because I like wearing grey as an alternative to black, and it only seems to come back around very rarely. So I thought I'd put it up for your opinions. What do you think? I'm not even sure a replacement jacket would need to be leather, but we all know I love a leather jacket. </p>
