I'm not familiar with your work environment but I could see that jacket worn casually and as part of a more corporate outfit. I would find it hard to walk away from myself. And you do not have a stubby neck... I vote yay. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket/page/2#post-384133 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 10:48:54 +0000 April 384133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Um -- LOVE. (To be said with that teenage inflection that gives "love" two syllables.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket/page/2#post-384125 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 09:14:08 +0000 rute 384125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!!!!!!<br /> You hair is so different! Love the color! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket/page/2#post-384111 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 07:44:44 +0000 Aunty 384111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote Yay, I am looking for the same thing.<br /> PS your neck issue is the same as my legs issue. According to those that know we do not have an issue!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket/page/2#post-384074 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 04:29:39 +0000 Lena 384074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have this jacket at home and I'm also thinking about it. It's so soft and has that AllSaints vibe you seem to like. It's very Una to my non-expert eye. </p> <p>The hook closure is interesting and seems well thought out. On the other hand, how do you feel about the stretchy sleeve parts (I don't know what they're called)? I have one leather jacket with knit sleeve parts and I think they're prone to pilling. But... they also create that great slim shape. </p> <p>Angie's suggestion of using a pencil skirt is very intriguing. </p> <p>Let it sit for a bit. </p> <p>I voted yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket/page/2#post-384062 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 04:07:55 +0000 Kyle 384062@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is such a chic, unique jacket. To me, it is completely in line with the look you have been aspiring to -- it has that special unexpected edge. I think it is completely fab and do not see a neck issue. As others have said, I would be trying to make it work for work! The cool, leather-clad lawyer...</p> <p>After initially leaving this at the store, I have since ordered it and will now have to make a tough decision about which leather jacket to keep. This one is killer in my book. I hope you will feel fab wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket/page/2#post-383975 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 01:31:15 +0000 catgirl 383975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, the truth is I mostly just do what I want. I could not wear this to court, obviously, but I think I could wear it to my own (or Mary's and my future) office... Am contemplating! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket/page/2#post-383970 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 01:25:33 +0000 rae 383970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you can make it work for work, it'd be the best of both worlds. I sometimes forget that there are non-corporate-dress-code jobs out there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket/page/2#post-383954 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 00:58:59 +0000 catgirl 383954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For those who said nay, please let me know if it was fit or "need" that prompted your vote.</p> <p>Thanks, Nancy. I really do have a neck issue, which is that my thyroid is swollen. I'm probably way more focused on it than anyone else, but it still makes me feel self-conscious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket/page/2#post-383951 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 00:56:36 +0000 nancylee 383951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great...and you do NOT have a stubby neck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket/page/2#post-383942 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 00:48:23 +0000 bj1111 383942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it looks great on you and it gives you a FAB shape. i don't see any neck stubbiness. have you tried the vince leather jacket? if you have room in your budget, it may be more adaptable to "work" as well as "play." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket/page/2#post-383940 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 00:44:54 +0000 MNsara 383940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! It sounds like you will give it a whirl!! Maybe not for court days, but how many of those are there??? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket#post-383936 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 00:36:21 +0000 Janet 383936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great on you, and I can see it working for work, with, for instance, a pair of tweed trousers and a simple tailored blouse. </p> <p>I looked at it longingly, but alas there was only a small to be had at my Nordstom. And I have another black leather jacket. I guess it was a sign. :-/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket#post-383934 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 00:31:13 +0000 Anonymous 383934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket#post-383933 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 00:30:44 +0000 Kate 383933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do what Angie says! I can't wait to see pictures!</p> <p>In other news, I opened the first picture and didn't see the mirror right away, and thought you'd gotten a super awesome edgy, textured stacked bob! Turns out it was just the way your hair was pulled back. I don't remember your hair "story" (past cuts, future plans, challenges, etc), but if you ever consider getting an edgier haircut I think it would look AMAZING! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket#post-383927 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 00:21:34 +0000 Barbara 383927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I LOVE it.

I may give it a try. Is this on your NAS list? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket#post-383921 Thu, 14 Jul 2011 00:13:07 +0000 Angie 383921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER</p> <p>Can you wear this over slacks/pencil skirt to work? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket#post-383912 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 23:56:39 +0000 Anonymous 383912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this one on you.

I want to love it for so many reasons but I just don't love it on you. I LOVED the other blazers you showed last week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket#post-383896 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 23:23:25 +0000 Briar 383896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm an enabler--I really like it on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket#post-383883 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 22:56:47 +0000 lyn* 383883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh, I quite like it I think it works!</p> <p>AND your neck isn't stubby! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket#post-383880 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 22:55:23 +0000 MNsara 383880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it too heavy for indoor work days? In the winter I will wear leather jackets instead of blazers. Not enabling or anything, but . . . </p> <p>if it is okay for indoor wear, then I can see it with a pencil skirt or trousers -- as the only funky item worn that day. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket#post-383865 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 22:38:03 +0000 catgirl 383865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida, I'm pondering that very thing! I have also been trying to imagine the actual day-to-day occasions in which I might wear a given item, rather than buying for the possibility an opportunity or need might arise. It's all part of my struggle to reconcile my ACTUAL reality with what I WANT to be my reality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket#post-383862 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 22:35:58 +0000 Aida 383862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you think you will regret not having this jacket 6 months from now? Do you have a black/dark leather jacket already? I definitely think getting your work stuff in line will make you feel better about your outfits by a dramatic amount, but I understand wanting to pounce on those items we fall in love with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket#post-383860 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 22:33:56 +0000 Freckles 383860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Delightful jacket on you but need or want? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket#post-383857 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 22:31:47 +0000 catgirl 383857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a medium so I'd say it runs a little small like all Hinge items tend to do. It has a very Allsaints vibe to it. It is very rare for me to find a leather jacket that I like that works for me - still considering it for that reason... Sigh. Seize the lucky find or take a deep breath and just say no? </p> <p>My "needs" list is pretty much fulfilled for now with the exception of gear and black boots to replace my old ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket#post-383856 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 22:27:43 +0000 Erin 383856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it on you, sorry not very rational I know bur still I loove it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hinge-leather-jacket#post-383850 Wed, 13 Jul 2011 22:22:26 +0000 Lisa 383850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely jacket but as others have suggested if it doesn't fill a "need" and it's just a want I'd pass if your "want" list is a little big this year and focus on those items. </p>
