I actually prefer my jacket sleeves to be this length both aesthetically and because it's warmer. I do think they look slightly too wide, but again that may not be an issue with a thicker long sleeve underneath, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196909 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 01:40:22 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1196909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you're well sorted Tanya - so happy to see you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196900 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 01:18:51 +0000 ironkurtin 1196900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the blue one and don't see any fit issues.</p> <p>It's very hard to take self-pictures and show fit.&nbsp; I struggle with it myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196886 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 00:56:30 +0000 Angie 1196886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup. Taupe is one of YOUR neutrals. It's money well spent in a classic like a moto.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196884 Mon, 17 Mar 2014 00:51:59 +0000 Tanya 1196884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much ladies!&nbsp; Some great input here.</p> <p>I have decided to definitely keep the taupe one.&nbsp; Everybody likes the fit, and while taupe jackets are common, it took me a couple of years to find the right shade in the right price range, so it stays.</p> <p>The blue: I really want it to keep it as the color is very difficult to find, but I want it to fit well too. I do not mind shortening the sleeves at all.&nbsp; I will take more photos soon with different sweaters and repost for the final decision on that one.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196843 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 23:56:22 +0000 Angie 1196843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the fit of the taupe, but the colour of the light blue is <i>just so yummy</i> I can't stand it.&nbsp;</p> <p>You need to layer properly too, Tanya. I think that will improve the fit on #1, and so will gaining back some weight. Killer options, my darling little sister. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196834 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 23:49:14 +0000 shiny 1196834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you can afford both then I say keep both. Both are yummy colors for you, with the taupe slightly yummier -- really, an awesome color on you. It's not just any taupe. It's YOUR taupe.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you can only afford one I'd vote the taupe on basis of color alone. But if we are considering both, I'd say keep the blue too. The fit is just fine. Yes it's a bit looser but that is the modern look now, and personally I think the lighter a color is, the looser you can go. The fit of the blue&nbsp;looks better since it is looser. Not sure I'd like it as much in next size down. I am thinking here how white jeans look better sized up. I think same principle may be in play.&nbsp;</p> <p>Hopefully that makes sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196824 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 23:33:22 +0000 Beth Ann 1196824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous jackets!&nbsp; I think the roomy fit is great for layering and wearing as an outdoor option.&nbsp; On your frame, I'm might go a little more fitted in an "inside only" jacket, if that makes sense.&nbsp; I'm guessing these will be indoor/outdoor, so you're good to go.&nbsp; Love the color of blue, particularly, but they're both fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196809 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 23:07:24 +0000 Suz 1196809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are gorgeous on you, Tanya! I would try layering under both (the way you might wear them.) Also, consider turning the sleeves under on the blue one a tiny bit -- this is a simple alteration if there are no zips on the sleeve (and it seems there are not) &nbsp;-- so might be worth doing if it is perfect in every other way. I am tempted to say K to the Power of K but I will leave that to Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196806 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 23:05:49 +0000 MsMaven 1196806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the blue open, but closed it looks a bit too big. &nbsp;I like the taupe closed better than open. &nbsp;How's that for being indecisive? &nbsp;I agree, put on a sweater or layers underneath and let us see how they look.</p> <p>Also, will you be more likely to wear it open or closed? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196803 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 23:00:58 +0000 Mona 1196803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the blue is more unique while taupe motos are much more common. The fit on the blue is a little bit loose but not ill fitting at all so if you really have to choose between the two, I vote blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196796 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 22:52:27 +0000 Lisa 1196796@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are both lovely but the blue is a more unique color (I often see taupe moto's but rarely a blue one) so I vote keep to the blue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196791 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 22:45:23 +0000 catherine 1196791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both.&nbsp; You look wonderful in each. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196760 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 22:12:48 +0000 Andrea W 1196760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them both. They'll definitely be good with layers underneath (ie sweaters). I know I generally prefer &amp; get more use from a jacket which is not so fitted.</p> <p>Also if you keep the blue one we can be jacket twins!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196746 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 21:56:36 +0000 Caro in Oz 1196746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would layer up &amp; post more photos - there could be a big difference in the fit of the sleeves when you are wearing something bulkier underneath :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196715 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 21:31:50 +0000 unfrumped 1196715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like CocoLion's analysis and it might fit in to how you plan to use them. <br />The blue sleeves are not just longer, but wider. But, I have been finding that jackets with the least bit skinny sleeves do not layer over my sweaters well.<br />If both colors are versatile for your color palette, then you might be layering the blue more in cooler weather, and using the taupe with T's or light dresses and such. Because, even if you can keep 2, sometimes I have to think whether I only need to wear one; but if they fit slightly different top capsules and weather or indoor/outdoor needs,&nbsp;that can be very useful.<br />I would try them both on with lots of potential outfits, and all may become clear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196709 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 21:28:56 +0000 Lyn D. 1196709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both too, with a slight preference for the second. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196707 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 21:28:22 +0000 Tanya 1196707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies!&nbsp; It seems that the taupe is fine while the blue looks a little big.&nbsp; While the blue is not available in size down, another very similar looking jacket is, so please comment freely.&nbsp; I would rather go through the hassle of returning it and getting a different jacket from UK than keeping something that does not fit well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196696 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 21:22:38 +0000 CocoLion 1196696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the fit of 3/4 on you. &nbsp;I am quite sensitive to a bulky sleeve though, so grain of salt. &nbsp;If you are OK with the&nbsp;extra sleeve width&nbsp;and length of the blue, then go for it. &nbsp;Torso fit looks perfect for both of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196682 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 21:10:58 +0000 Marmee 1196682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love both. &nbsp;Do the sleeves on the blue one feel too long? &nbsp;I bought a moto jacket, and didn't notice the sleeves were too long. &nbsp;I finally took it to be altered, because they drove me crazy, and I felt sloppy.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196680 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 21:08:38 +0000 Diana 1196680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both a lot! I think the blue might look just a wee bit big like this, but will be perfect with a thicker layer underneath. I would keep both. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196675 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 21:04:40 +0000 El Cee 1196675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya -- I love both. The colors are terrific. I think the wee bit of extra roominess is a good thing if you plan on layering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196658 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 20:55:15 +0000 Tanya 1196658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks LaCeleste! </p> <p>I would like to both be able to layer them over sweaters and wear them over thinner tees, like in the photos.&nbsp; I am happy to have them fit looser, just do not want them to be obviously too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196654 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 20:53:09 +0000 LACeleste 1196654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful colors Tanya! &nbsp; Do they make you feel happy?<br />The blue looks a bit bigger to my eye. &nbsp;You said you will layer? If so,&nbsp;perfect!! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196642 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 20:43:39 +0000 catgirl 1196642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Right, I meant to say blush moto vest but can't edit from this computer.&nbsp; Keep both if you can... Do you think you'll get enough wear from them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196641 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 20:42:16 +0000 Tanya 1196641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Una!&nbsp; <br />Just to clarify, I can keep both, it is only the matter of fit.&nbsp; I have a blush pleather moto vest, but not a normal blush jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196639 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 20:41:02 +0000 catgirl 1196639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote blue because you have the blush moto which is close to the taupe.&nbsp; These are both such good colors for you! I like the looser fit too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---the-leather-motos-are-here#post-1196636 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 20:39:53 +0000 Tanya 1196636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both leather motos have arrived, baby blue and taupe, and I love them both.&nbsp; I am posting them here as I am unsure of the fit. They are not styled, just thrown over a tee and jeans.&nbsp; Both fit well in the shoulders and arms - the blue one is a tiny bit long in the arms but it actually does not bother me at all as sleeves tend to be short on my very long arms.&nbsp; I am not sure about the fit in the body - OK or a bit too big?&nbsp; They are looser than my old motos, but then again the fit has changed.&nbsp; I would also wear them over more layers. such as sweaters as well.&nbsp; Neither are available in the next size down, so it is either keep these or return. </p>
