I really like this on you. As long as you don't need to zip it (agree with all prior posts about that) I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket-1#post-1619360 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 23:46:27 +0000 Beth Ann 1619360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fabulous color --- that makes it unique. &nbsp;I only zip my motos when it's freezing cold! &nbsp;I think the look is quite flattering. &nbsp;Do you see this as outerwear, or will you wear it indoors, mostly? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket-1#post-1619126 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 16:33:13 +0000 Banoffi 1619126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks good on you and fits in the shoulders and back.&nbsp; I say keep it, especially as you plan to wear it open most of the time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket-1#post-1619115 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 16:11:19 +0000 Suz 1619115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh. It looks amazing on you!! Please keep it unless it feels horridly constricting to the point where you know you won't wear it. <b>Love </b>it on you!!!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket-1#post-1617429 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 22:36:30 +0000 Mochi 1617429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi again. Yes, re the underlayers, I would probably be wearing this as a spring and fall jacket with light layers like a t-shirt. I run pretty warm so that would work for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>I just checked the back. It doesn't look gappy or puckery, so that's good.&nbsp;</p> <p>Una, I also like to have something that closes comfortably. But nothing fits me like that. It would have to be too big at the hips for the bust to fit.&nbsp;</p> <p>rachy, it does just cover my waist. As I mentioned, I don't get that cold, so I don't mind, as long as it were to look good.&nbsp;</p> <p>lisap--arms seem to fit well! I'd probably get a better length in the waist if it were not a petite size. But then the arms would be way too long. Shoulders are fine.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks again! I'm going to sit on this purchase for now, but am feeling more positive toward it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket-1#post-1617344 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 19:50:03 +0000 catgirl 1617344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it soft leather?&nbsp; If so it will conform to fit you over time, like a shoe.&nbsp; I really like the color and the style.&nbsp; I do prefer my jackets to be able to close, or look like they can.&nbsp; Would you be wearing it with a thin layer or as outerwear over winter clothing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket-1#post-1617275 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 16:47:35 +0000 Diana 1617275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I get that bust thing too. I think it's just a function of leather motos and any sort of bust at all.&nbsp; If I wear mine zipped, I only zip it up to about mid-bust and fill in the rest with a scarf or something, which mitigates the squishing somewhat.&nbsp; </p> <p>It looks good.&nbsp; How does it look in the back?&nbsp; I always have a problem with the backs of leather jackets being too long and bunching up around the back waist, but since I don't think you have quite the ski slope in back that I do, it's probably not as much of an issue.&nbsp; As long as the back and shoulders/arms feel good, I think it's a keeper.&nbsp; Love the color on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket-1#post-1617269 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 16:32:25 +0000 rabbit 1617269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks good on you to me and echoing what others are saying about almost always wearing my leather jacket partly or all the way unzipped (or getting that Storm from the x-men bust containment thing, which is fine for short periods). &nbsp;</p> <p>You might want to test that it works (open) over various weights of underlayers including sweaters though. &nbsp;If the arms are too tight under most underlayers, that would limit wears to my thinking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket-1#post-1617268 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 16:30:42 +0000 rachylou 1617268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How do you feel about the length?

It is a great looking jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket-1#post-1617248 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 15:58:03 +0000 Anonymous 1617248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great colour - I would love to have an olive green leather/faux jacket , so interesting ! &nbsp;I have that same issue with fit - small ribcage and larger bust , means nothing fits zipped up . But like others here, I never wear my leather jackets zipped up - ever - and go with how it fits through the shoulders and upper arms. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket-1#post-1617242 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 15:46:03 +0000 El Cee 1617242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is a beautiful jacket. I think it is stunning on you -- good fit and the color is fabulous. I have the same issue with the bust on jackets. I go mostly with shoulder fit and wear them open.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket-1#post-1617222 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 15:03:36 +0000 Mochi 1617222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's a much better pic of the jacket (not on me, obviously):</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/bernardo-leather-moto-jacket-regular-petite/4025882?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=&amp;resultback=791.666635208661">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/be.....wordsearch</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket-1#post-1617221 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 15:02:53 +0000 Anonymous 1617221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Janet on fit and color. My leather jacket is tight in the bust too, and I have no bust. The shoulder fit looks good.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket-1#post-1617220 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 15:02:04 +0000 Mochi 1617220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi and thank you for the fast replies! (I'll be heading out the door in a minute, so will be checking back later.) Janet, coming from you that is an extra-special compliment! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>My style thoughts are to bring in more femininity to balance out (but not crowd out) the androgyny and rough edge that I have always gone with. It's very daunting. I would definitely need a separate post, and a lot of advice from you all. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket-1#post-1617217 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 14:58:49 +0000 celia 1617217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket seems to fit you well. Even when it's closed it looks snug rather than tight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket-1#post-1617216 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 14:57:47 +0000 Janet 1617216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi! Soooo nice to see you here. :-)&nbsp;</p> <p>I love it! (well, of course, says the queen of jackets) I almost never zip up my leather jackets, and many of mine do something similar at the bust if I try, so if you don't plan to wear them closed up like that, then I think it's fine. I really like the color as an interesting soft neutral alternative to black or brown, and the style and fit look really good on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>Curious to hear more about your new direction. I know that you've been tackling lots of new and exciting territory in your life over the last couple of years.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-leather-jacket-1#post-1617210 Wed, 17 Feb 2016 14:50:04 +0000 Mochi 1617210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hola! Long time no see! I haven't been shopping much at all, but suddenly am back in the mood to fill in all the wardrobe gaps, coupled with wanting to go in a different style direction (which would be a separate post). Particularly, I've been wanting at least one nice, go-to leather jacket for ages. This one came up suddenly in the current Nordstrom sale. Bernardo. It's a nice, neutral olive color and it is very well made.&nbsp;</p> <p>It came yesterday and when I put it on, my first reaction was No. It made my bust look even more gigantic (but a lot of jackets do...). I wasn't sure I liked the collar. Et cetera. Now I'm having more positive thoughts, but not sure. It really has to be great.&nbsp;</p> <p>It is a Petite Large, and there are no more XLs left. I find that when something fits well in the bust, it ends up being too large elsewhere, so I accept that my body is really tricky to fit well.&nbsp;</p> <p>I include one pic of the jacket zipped up, just to show that I can. It is obviously snug, but I would want to wear it open anyway.&nbsp;</p> <p>Is it really stellar? I tend to return 90% of what I buy, so I won't feel bad if this gets a thumbs-down.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you, ladies! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo </p>
