They've been inching their way back and are quite popular around here. I've got two, both of them made in the last couple of years.&nbsp;</p> <p>If you're happy with colour, fit and condition, I'd say give it a shot. I've found it a very versatile style.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-bomber---classic-or-outdated#post-1488828 Fri, 08 May 2015 07:09:12 +0000 Caro in Oz 1488828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure how big a part of your budget $17 is but if I were you I'd try the jacket for sure. I'd try it on first &amp; check the condition thoroughly. Also wear something you love, that you think will work with it &amp; see how you like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-bomber---classic-or-outdated#post-1488762 Fri, 08 May 2015 03:31:45 +0000 EmilyC15 1488762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This week, in my favorite secondhand place, I found a black leather bomber jacket in dreamy condition. Unusually, it's fastened with buttons instead of zippers, and has buttoning cuffs and button pocket details. Very Katherine Hepburn. </p> <p>Do you think this is classic, or outdated? Were you wearing a leather jacket around this spring? Please let me know! I'm in New Zealand and a) leather jackets are CRAZY EXPENSIVE here, so I don't see them being worn much b) the weather is cruel to leather jackets, and I get nervous wearing my supernice leather moto jacket in the rain, whereas this one was $17.</p> <p>I tend towards clean-cut/polished/some vintage - I live in NYDJ jeans, or slim skirts/ slim knit dresses, with the occasional full-skirted dress that has a 50s vibe, and I tend to carry a contemporary black leather bag. </p>
