I am completely open to not getting a leather jacket this year if I cannot find one I absolutely love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-face-off#post-733941 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 20:40:59 +0000 Anonymous 733941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have more options coming up? I like # 1 the best, out of this lot. The bunching might relax as you wear it more. I have exactly the same issue with the bunching in back, due to my hips. Have you tried a more curvier cut? I like Michael Kors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-face-off#post-733937 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 20:31:24 +0000 bj1111 733937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 for sure...lots and lots of love for this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-face-off#post-733794 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 17:41:35 +0000 cinnamon fern 733794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, I think the Tahari is just cut wrong for you - the fit is a bit off in both sizes. I like the red and the fit is good, but it's hard to tell about the color without seeing your face. </p> <p>If I were you I'd take pictures of the red with a different top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-face-off#post-733651 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 15:13:17 +0000 Makrame 733651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for all the feedback! I am leaning towards returning everything for now. If the red jacket in #2 goes on sale, I might reconsider (the price is too steep for me to keep and I feel like I need to take some time to think how much wear it will get).</p> <p>I am not too fond of how the red jacket in #2 looks when open but overall the fit is good. </p> <p>Just in case anyone else is looking at these jackets - the Tahari jacket is very soft and lightweight - would be perfect for right now. The AM red jacket is much more substantial (I was surprised how different it felt from all the other jackets I have tried). It would be a true outerwear jacket, probably suitable for late fall/early winter.</p> <p>As far as the overall fit, it seems like all leather jackets I have tried look barrel-shaped on me when zipped up. I don't think I have a potbelly but this definitely makes me wonder if I should even bother with leather jackets. The back on most of these is wrinkly when zipped up - I think only very cropped jackets like the Muubaa do not have that issue on me.</p> <p>Oh, and DH was dismissive of the brown Tahari jacket and fond of the red AM, so there is that, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-face-off#post-733633 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 14:51:26 +0000 ironkurtin 733633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I'm the only one who likes #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-face-off#post-733627 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 14:43:20 +0000 Preppy Pear 733627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The red is so cute on you! </p> <p>I do like the Tahari in small - I don't think the bunching in the back is an automatic dealbreaker, but it would be for me personally. (Do jackets like this relax at all?) </p> <p>Thanks for all your leather jacket posts - I am debating ordering the same jacket from Bluefly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-face-off#post-733594 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 13:58:04 +0000 Angie 733594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 best by far! </p> <p>#1 is a little ill fitting zipped up, although it looks fine worn open. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-face-off#post-733417 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 05:42:08 +0000 lyn* 733417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1 unzipped and zipped up - it has an interesting shape and I think the colour is classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-face-off#post-733416 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 05:40:20 +0000 Ariadne 733416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-face-off#post-733411 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 05:33:25 +0000 catgirl 733411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 seeing all the photos together. But I actually like the fit of the M too - I prefer jackets a little big rather than fitted, so take that with a grain of salt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-face-off#post-733390 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 05:09:05 +0000 rae 733390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, I like #1. Kelly is right that the red doesn't look as good when it is unzipped. Does the bunching in the back of #1 bother you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-face-off#post-733283 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 03:16:48 +0000 MsLuna 733283@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally think #2 and #3 have great fit - particularly the back part of #2. </p> <p>Ditto with caro: colour is amazing in #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-face-off#post-733278 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 03:13:33 +0000 kellygirl 733278@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the Tahari in small. I think it looks great zipped and open. The color of the AM is pretty but I don't care for the way it hangs when open. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-face-off#post-733276 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 03:12:34 +0000 Caro in Oz 733276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colour &amp; fit of #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/leather-jacket-face-off#post-733263 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 03:04:25 +0000 Makrame 733263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two more leather jackets have arrived and here they are for your consideration.</p> <p>Tahari jacket size small (#1) and Andrew Marc jacket size M (#2) <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/andrew-marc-asymmetrical-leather-moto-jacket/3322958" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/an.....et/3322958</a>.</p> <p>For comparison, I also have photos of Tahari in M (too big; #3) and Muubaa jacket in brick (too small; I decided it is going back). What do you think? </p>
