I like my white one (with similar neckline) but that type of collar does bother some people so I thought I would mention it. Mine will stay "open" pretty easily, by the way, if I just fold it, so I bet yours will as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1228045 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 17:37:09 +0000 pastrygirl 1228045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great! I wore my new leather jacket (from the Rack)&nbsp;nearly every minute since Thurs morning. I had to stop myself from wearing it today because it's not dressy enough for how&nbsp;<i></i>I wanted to dress for&nbsp;church. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1228042 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 17:33:37 +0000 rabbit 1228042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all for your multiple wise eyes!</p> <p><b>Leopardluxe</b> - it has a collar, about an inch and half&nbsp;high that just extends up in a swooped&nbsp;line&nbsp;from the neck of the jacket (it zips to the very top), and enough inner lining leather that it can be pointed outward and turned down&nbsp;a bit, while not turned completely inside out all the way down the sides&nbsp;like a blazer lapel.</p> <p><b>Suz -</b> good question. &nbsp;I tried it on with pretty much my whole closet and it works with 90% of it (the 10% is leggings without long tunics ). &nbsp;I think part of the versatility comes from the classic shape and&nbsp;straight zip, and the collar played well with various scarf configurations. &nbsp; It also works much better open than my heavier asymmetrical zip jacket with certain tops or dresses that have detailing or buttons&nbsp;down the middle.&nbsp;Thanks for the tip about hair pulled back, that looks good with it.</p> <p>I will hold onto it, and am itching to be #teamwear . </p> </p> <p>ETA: &nbsp;oh, I tried on some asymmetrical cowl necked leather jackets there also, but they buttoned up rather than zipping, and the way the buttonhole was covered on the outer layer and the stiffness of the leather there&nbsp;made it virtually impossible for me to fasten, so after about five minutes of trying to close one button and failing,&nbsp;I gave up.&nbsp; &nbsp;Too fussy for me for&nbsp;something functional even if it&nbsp;eventually softened.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1228039 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 17:28:34 +0000 Ginkgo 1228039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It just looks so right on you, so in synch with your style.&nbsp; Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1227972 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 15:27:31 +0000 Jjsloane 1227972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had great luck at Clear the Rack this weekend too. I like your leather, it sounds like a good deal on a staple item. I also love your fun skirt you wore shopping! I vote keep the leather jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1227954 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 14:51:45 +0000 rae 1227954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks perfect for what you described! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1227947 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 14:34:07 +0000 Joyce B 1227947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that jacket on you and the price cannot be beat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1227945 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 14:31:49 +0000 Carla 1227945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This jacket will open up a whole range of style options for you and you will find yourself reaching for it over and over again. The one you picked up fits you beautifully. The wrinkle in the back isn't bothersome. </p> <p>Got my first leather jacket last year and when I'm not wearing it, I wish I was. </p> <p>Keep </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1227939 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 14:19:37 +0000 ironkurtin 1227939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it.

A good layer for the PNW.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love your Hectic Skirt Outfit, Rabbit. Killer fun and flirty with an arty and hard edge. You have a unique style. Very 2014. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1227921 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 13:59:20 +0000 Mo 1227921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it. &nbsp;Had to laugh at "I was Racked". &nbsp;I also love your&nbsp;leggings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1227914 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 13:43:19 +0000 LACeleste 1227914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! &nbsp;You are like a beautiful version of&nbsp;Frida K in that skirt outfit. &nbsp;Stunning Rabbit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1227907 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 13:37:24 +0000 kkards 1227907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i really like the leather jacket. since its lighter than the mixed moto, i see the 2 complementing each other.<br />FYI, i love that color pink on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1227902 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 13:27:17 +0000 merwoman 1227902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trying to be objective and remove my sales goggles!

It is different from the other one and I hope you keep it! Also love the overall outfit in #2 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1227873 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 12:37:37 +0000 Janet 1227873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks fantastic on you, and that is an amazing deal. I think Mr Rabbit has a good eye! It looks quite different from your other jacket. I vote keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1227861 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 11:47:39 +0000 Suz 1227861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ETA -- another question -- if you want to wear the collar folded down, will it stay that way reliably when you are wearing the jacket open?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1227857 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 11:38:13 +0000 Suz 1227857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is a great find, Rabbit. If the texture of the leather feels good for the uses you have in mind, I'd keep. I know what you are saying about the neckline. My white leather jacket (Sveta and Inge have the same one) has a similar type of neckline, and you can "train" it to open up, blazer style.&nbsp;</p> <p>I guess my main question would be -- do you love that versatility and feel flattered by both types of neck opening, or would you prefer one that was asymmetrical and wide-collared like your mixed media jacket?&nbsp;</p> <p>I think you look good in this neckline, by the way -- and maybe more so with hair up or back -- but if it would be a question of always wanting to wear the jacket the other way, then it might be better to look for one that was that way to begin with?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1227840 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 10:07:11 +0000 Deborah 1227840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the new jacket. Fit is fab and it is different enough to the other jacket (which is also awesome). Nice find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1227839 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 10:05:08 +0000 leopardluxe 1227839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jacket! The fit is fabulous and flattering. I think it looks good both partially zipped or open and is a classic enough style that it will work well dressed up or down.&nbsp;I can't tell from the photos what type of collar it has? Does it not have top lapels on the collar? It looks to me like it's what's called a cafe racer style moto (no lapels on collar and the zip is not asymmetrical).</p> <p>I totally vote keep. It's a workhorse in the making </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1227810 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 06:33:09 +0000 fuzzylogic 1227810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally understand about making use of 'multiple eyes'!</p> <p>The mixed media moto has an asymmetric, wide collar which, together with the ?ponte fabric, looks softer. So this high collar, leather jacket is definitely tougher!</p> <p>I like the way you have partially zipped the jacket so that it sits just under/on the bust. Very sexy! Can see how pointing the collar out would look great too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1227798 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 06:15:42 +0000 rabbit 1227798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>outdoors -- mostly running around town. &nbsp;I'm&nbsp;in the PNW (I run cool so wear a cardigan most of the summer, this would be an upgrade). &nbsp; Both open and closed, but not zipped all the way&nbsp;up to the chin. &nbsp;Indoor at movies, dining, shopping, stuff like that. &nbsp; Not in the studio or at home (too many perils), but I actually spend a lot of time out and about.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1227791 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 06:04:10 +0000 rae 1227791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How are you wanting to wear the jacket most? Open, closed? Indoor, outdoor? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1227790 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 06:02:33 +0000 rabbit 1227790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good question, <b>fuzzy</b>, I like it a lot, I'm double-checking with multiple eyes, &nbsp;thanks for lending yours&nbsp;:)</p> <p>I wasn't totally sure&nbsp;about the neckline, but a bit unzipped with the collar&nbsp;pointed outward (not shown)&nbsp;that looks good to me too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1227781 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 05:50:08 +0000 fuzzylogic 1227781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never subscribed to the philosophy of 'the one' so I can't answer to that. But I like the jacket! It is tougher than the mixed media moto. The fit is excellent and the longer sleeves are great!<br /> Sounds as though you are unsure? What's stopping the love<br /> PS it's amazing what the eye of the camera shows, isn't it?!? I often adjust after looking at a pic!<br /> Still loving that skull tee and floral skirt combo!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1227759 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 05:22:06 +0000 Lantana 1227759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vehement enabling from this quarter. The leather jacket can be dressed right up, eg with a frothy skirt, the cut is divine and from what I can see the fit is spot on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket---i-was-racked#post-1227756 Sun, 20 Apr 2014 05:16:40 +0000 Gigi 1227756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket, rabbit! I don't think the wrinkling in back is very bad at all. I think that the price is good too...I rarely find any leather jackets for less than $200, even on clearance. The fact that it will fill a different role from your other jackets is important too. :^) </p>
