Now I feel better that they're in the giveaway pile. I got good use out of all of them, so I feel like they got their time. Hmm, now there's room for the CM white jacket and maybe another new pretty in a mid grey, metallic&nbsp;or teal, whenever I find the perfect one! :-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-chopping-block-old-jackets#post-1192009 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 01:05:35 +0000 Angie 1192009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote pass them all on to their next fab home.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-chopping-block-old-jackets#post-1191995 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 00:58:08 +0000 Ariadne 1191995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Purge. &nbsp;You've got other jackets that are a million times better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-chopping-block-old-jackets#post-1191973 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 00:22:55 +0000 cciele 1191973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also think your newer jackets suit you better.

I do like #2, the grey one, if you were keeping one. Oh, and you look wonderful with and without makeup. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-chopping-block-old-jackets#post-1191804 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 18:44:39 +0000 Thistle 1191804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You don't love them, and it shows. I would pass them along to a new a home where they will be loved and make room for something you do love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-chopping-block-old-jackets#post-1191803 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 18:39:08 +0000 modgrl 1191803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are all very nice jackets but they are just not really screaming your style right now... perhaps that's why you aren't reaching for them anymore. I vote pass to make room for something fabber...&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-chopping-block-old-jackets#post-1191790 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 18:22:42 +0000 shoppingisfun 1191790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the black one a lot!

Plus you have many more jackets that should get air time instead.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-chopping-block-old-jackets#post-1191669 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 16:00:03 +0000 Diana 1191669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote pass them on as well.&nbsp; I agree that necklines with lapels are better!&nbsp; (For me too.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-chopping-block-old-jackets#post-1191667 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 15:57:55 +0000 Janet 1191667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all. So far you seem to be confirming what Mo really articulated well -- they're all OK, but OK is not good enough for me anymore. My new standard for leather jackets has been set by the blue moto, the Helmut Lang black jacket, and the white Truth &amp; Pride moto. I could see adding either a subtle metallic, grey or teal leather jacket to my wardrobe some day, but no rush. I may keep the tan one a bit longer, but I'm pretty sure I'm ready to let the others go. I'm just not excited to wear them at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-chopping-block-old-jackets#post-1191658 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 15:49:25 +0000 Mo 1191658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are all okay. &nbsp;I also think you have several leather jackets that are heads above okay. &nbsp;:) &nbsp;Perhaps selling these off will allow you to get some other new fun thing to wear that you <i>will</i> reach for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-chopping-block-old-jackets#post-1191655 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 15:46:17 +0000 Suz 1191655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you don't reach for them, let them go. You have lots of fab jackets.</p> <p>They all look good on you, by the way, But you're not reaching for them for other reasons, and those are reason enough to say goodbye.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-chopping-block-old-jackets#post-1191646 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 15:39:54 +0000 Ingunn 1191646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you don't reach for them, they are probably finished for you anyway. For the record, I think the Tahari is a keeper, but you have to want wearing it, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-chopping-block-old-jackets#post-1191645 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 15:39:53 +0000 viva 1191645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Someone else will love these.

Pass these along and buy yourself a new moto or two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-chopping-block-old-jackets#post-1191637 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 15:36:16 +0000 always trying 1191637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not liking 1 much, but 3 and 6 would be keepers for me.&nbsp; I think it especially is wearing them unzipped, but not the color of #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-chopping-block-old-jackets#post-1191635 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 15:34:23 +0000 Marmee 1191635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree about the collars, the look too high on you. &nbsp;The last one looks like the best of the three, but if you don't wear them then make room for something new! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/on-the-chopping-block-old-jackets#post-1191630 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 15:30:40 +0000 Janet 1191630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For your review: three old jacket from 5-8 years ago that I no longer reach for. I was a little bigger then, so all of these are a bit loose on me. I kept them thinking I might layer underneath for winter, but I think the styles just aren't speaking to me anymore. For one thing, I just don't love this type of collar -- I prefer moto styles with lapels. </p> <p>1 faux leather light bluish grey Lucky Brand<br /> 2 grey leather Tahari<br /> 3 tan leather Lucky Brand</p> <p>What say you, Fabbers?
