I appreciate it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-leather-moto-jacket-better#post-311630 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 18:49:08 +0000 catgirl 311630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Steph, the new one is so much better. I can't imagine who would look good in the first one you'd posted, although it looks appealing in terms of structure and interest. I am glad you found something that works, and I hope you love it, because it looks really good on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-leather-moto-jacket-better#post-311626 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 18:36:53 +0000 Anonymous 311626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote to return the light colored jacket. It seems to fit oddly. The darker one is much better in color and fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-leather-moto-jacket-better#post-311622 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 18:30:14 +0000 CocoLion 311622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Stephanie, I missed your first thread about the jacket. I agree it is very cool but for some reason it fits oddly around the shoulder. So I agree with the others, send it back.</p> <p>As for the new jacket, it is a more flattering fit and color than the other one. The only drawback is that it is less unique, it's a pretty standard moto jacket. So when you style it, you need some interesting pieces (jewelry, accessories, pants style) to bring the outfit up a notch. I would keep this new jacket. It looks comfy and versatile. The caramel color looks great with black or white so it can carry you into spring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-leather-moto-jacket-better#post-311615 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 18:15:18 +0000 laurad 311615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>definitely keep the new one, much more versatile and more flattering to your figure! i don't dislike the second, but i'd still return it because it seems like the type of thing you'll get sick of, and it will end up taking up space. the first one is sooo much better, and you look really great in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-leather-moto-jacket-better#post-311610 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 18:06:00 +0000 amyreh 311610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>New one is AMAZING! Definitely a keeper! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-leather-moto-jacket-better#post-311608 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 18:04:39 +0000 Lynne 311608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:D Sparky, my fashion vocab has been extended! Hope I'm pronouncing it right: keep, keep, keepity, keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-leather-moto-jacket-better#post-311594 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 17:19:52 +0000 Sparky 311594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have absolutely scored with the new jacket! Keep, keep, keepity keep. It is amazing on you. I vote return the other jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-leather-moto-jacket-better#post-311591 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 16:59:48 +0000 rae 311591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, now that I see the new one, the first one does not compare. The new one makes YOU look gorgeous and unique, and it is so flattering on your body. I would return the light colored jacket and wear the darker one twice as often! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-leather-moto-jacket-better#post-311583 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 16:43:22 +0000 Lynne 311583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Steph, this is a no brainer for me - the cognac jacket is gorgeous on you! Perhaps you can work out what it is about the vibe of the lighter jacket that you like, and find a different way to incorporate that aspect into your wardrobe? Is it the assymetry/the structural shape of the shoulders/the novelty of the design/the (insert your thoughts here!).....you may be able to find that feature or quality in another garment? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-leather-moto-jacket-better#post-311581 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 16:42:02 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 311581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, the new one looks GREAT! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-leather-moto-jacket-better#post-311577 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 16:33:15 +0000 tarzy 311577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the first one! Fit, color, style - it's a winner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-leather-moto-jacket-better#post-311575 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 16:31:03 +0000 MsMary 311575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, the new one is fab, fab, fab! And I also vote to return the second one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-leather-moto-jacket-better#post-311572 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 16:22:45 +0000 Mo 311572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto - first one is much better on *you* and that's what counts! It's hard sometimes when you just love a funky detail but it simply doesn't work for you. Return #2 and enjoy wearing the heck out of #1! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-leather-moto-jacket-better#post-311551 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 15:45:06 +0000 chewyspaghetti 311551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like the first one better in color and cut and would return the second one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-leather-moto-jacket-better#post-311544 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 15:39:43 +0000 kellygirl 311544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the first one in both color and cut, hands down. It's fab on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-leather-moto-jacket-better#post-311537 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 15:33:28 +0000 modgrl 311537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new one is amazing.. details please!

I just can't get over those shoulders... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-leather-moto-jacket-better#post-311527 Thu, 10 Mar 2011 15:22:17 +0000 Stephanie 311527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So a while back I posted a leather jacket I was gaga about (pictures 3-8). Reviews were mixed; people were concerned about the color and the cut (i.e. that it made my shoulders look hunched). I still love the piece but I recognize that it may not be the best piece for me. I picked up (for a song!) another candidate (first two pictures). It's not as intrinsically gorgeous and unique as the first jacket, but it doesn't have the padded shoulders that some people found problematic on me, and the color is richer. </p> <p>The questions are: do you like the new jacket? (I want it more as an indoor piece than as an outerwear piece.) More pressingly, should I return the first (lighter-colored) jacket? </p>
