I have many happy clients in this piece. It makes them feel all arty, edgy and fab&nbsp;at the drop of a hat - so no need to be overly creative. No harm in trying, Diana.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-seen-mixed-media-leather-jackets-with-fabric-sleeves#post-1066491 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 23:37:23 +0000 Diana 1066491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I really like the looks of that one. &nbsp;But faux leather... &nbsp;=( &nbsp; I wonder if only being on the front, it wouldn't be SO bad? &nbsp;The reviews are confusing - half of them say the faux leather does not look faux, the other half say it looks really cheap. &nbsp;Hmm... what do you think, Angie? &nbsp;So, regarding faux leather, I am concerned about it's lack of breathability (which may not be a huge issue if it's only the front lapels) but also whether or not it looks plasticky.<br /><i></p> <p></i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/has-anyone-seen-mixed-media-leather-jackets-with-fabric-sleeves#post-1066430 Mon, 28 Oct 2013 22:43:52 +0000 Angie 1066430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The perfect black option&nbsp;for your style was available at the NAS by Michael Kors.

It's super comfortable and scrunchable and the jacket works for a petite frame pretty well, as you've seen from Shannon.&nbsp;</p> <p>Urgh. I just went in search of it online. I swear it was there on the outlet site yesterday! But I can't find it now.
