It's a great addition. I have one moto and I haven't worn it much in the last few years, but I wore it the other day and it was just the perfect thing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motos-these-days-sizing-help#post-2192067 Mon, 03 May 2021 17:36:23 +0000 LaPed 2192067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>rachylou -- there's something classic about a really fitted moto, isn't there? I should also do that all-the-hair-over-one-shoulder thing more often now that my hair is getting long enough. Makes me think of Keri Russell...&nbsp;</p> <p>Re: Alex Mill -- I think they're a great brand. They do, for me, what J Crew used to do (founders are former J Crew designers IIRC). Clean, sporty, east coast prep, but with a sense of irreverence and un-stuffiness.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, tags cut on the larger size! I'm liking my looser silhouettes for the foreseeable future, and should be able to get a longer season out of a roomier topper.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motos-these-days-sizing-help#post-2191332 Fri, 30 Apr 2021 16:58:26 +0000 rachylou 2191332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a slight preference for the smaller... however, I couldn’t tell the difference and just love LOVE the first pic.

Though I will say I love how the smaller size fits you. The larger one looks more current and in better proportion with the pants. <br /></div><div>I came to the same realization with my beloved blue jeans jacket, which I tried on last night with a few outfits. It is so small!! I have gotten larger, and my style preference has changed toward looser fitting jackets. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motos-these-days-sizing-help#post-2190988 Thu, 29 Apr 2021 15:11:55 +0000 Anonymous 2190988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've fallen down the Alex Mill rabbit hole, thanks to you &nbsp; I spent the last 45 mins at work last night on that website.

The ability to adjust the zipper not just open/closed but fully zipped vs flaps open, slightly unzipped from the bottom, etc, make it very adjustable for indoor/outdoor wear, changing wind and temps, etc. Even with a polyester liner the leather seems to breathe (not sure how different pleathers would function). For me they are one of those nice marriages of form and function </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motos-these-days-sizing-help#post-2190774 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 21:12:02 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2190774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the looser as well. I tend always to be on the fence with jackets between sizes like that. I like the extra space for layers, but hate to feel that I'm adding bulk in the shoulders.</p> <p>I also think that a leather jacket is a nice going out piece for this time of year. I was out with an Austrian friend recently for outdoor drinks, and she said that she always thinks of a leather jacket as being a key element in a European going-out wardrobe, but that Americans don't seem to wear them in the same way. I'm getting more use out of mine now than I do in the fall, which feels surprising.&nbsp;</p> <p>I only heard of the brand Alex Mill last year. I haven't bought anything from them, but have been tempted. Perhaps you'd like to do a post about the pieces you own? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motos-these-days-sizing-help#post-2190735 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 19:17:43 +0000 Helena 2190735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>More love for the slightly looser fit - which I could barely notice, so erring on the side of comfort (and more versatility in case of thicker underlayers). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motos-these-days-sizing-help#post-2190732 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 19:11:02 +0000 Irina 2190732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also like the large size.

I can’t see a huge diff between the sizes . I love moto jackets and have a few in leather and fabric ....but haven’t worn them in a few seasons now . I like the idea of them worn over a slouchier pant like in your third photo . What are those ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motos-these-days-sizing-help#post-2190678 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 16:27:26 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2190678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the larger size better.

Personal preference to a slightly bigger, looser fit ( I did the same with my All Saints moto jacket ).<br />The leather will mold to your shape and the fit will become a bit looser with time ( but not by much ).<br />I love your outfits - can't pick a favorite! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/motos-these-days-sizing-help#post-2190676 Wed, 28 Apr 2021 16:21:29 +0000 LaPed 2190676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve always liked the idea of motos, but lightweight toppers (the kind that look cool instead of keeping you warm/dry) rarely make it to the top of my wishlist. This one was an irresistible colour and price, so I decided to try two different sizes. It definitely fills a niche — more polished than a denim or utility jacket, less stuffy than a blazer. I think it might be a missing link in my neglected “going out” capsule.</p> <p>So now I’m wondering about fit. I feel like back when skinnies were de rigeur, the approach was to wear motos as fitted as possible. Now that pants are looser, the smaller size looks a little off to my eye. The larger one is maybe too roomy in the shoulder and a bit longer than ideal, but it seems like it will be wearable with a wider variety of bottoms, and I could layer it over most sweaters as well as tees/thinner tops.</p> <p>Thoughts? First four photos are the smaller size, with both slimmer and looser bottoms for comparison. Last four photos are the larger size.</p> <p>Sorry for all the mirror smudges; the full-length mirror is in the kid bathroom. </p>
