Versatile and tough+pretty. Super cute styling ideas too. Can I throw in a white bag and shoes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-caslon-leather-moto-with-removable-hood#post-1944182 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 14:22:33 +0000 gryffin 1944182@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sara - you are super smart. The danger zone of YFL is the temptation to buy super nice items you don’t need. I applaud you for making a great choice. There will be tons on tempting goodies in the fall that will be better purchases and you will have put that money to much better use!! Kudos!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-caslon-leather-moto-with-removable-hood#post-1944168 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 13:48:17 +0000 Sara L. 1944168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad it showed and works so well for you!&nbsp; Your review almost tempted me into looking into one but then I remembered that I have a leather jacket that I like but doesn't get worn that often (there's just not that many opportunities). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-caslon-leather-moto-with-removable-hood#post-1944150 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 12:47:57 +0000 gryffin 1944150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bijou - I know!&nbsp; I'm just as surprised, but sometimes things do work out...go figure?!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-caslon-leather-moto-with-removable-hood#post-1944147 Thu, 02 Aug 2018 12:39:22 +0000 Bijou 1944147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey you got the jacket after all.

So glad it was delivered!<br /> And that after all that drama it was a winner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-caslon-leather-moto-with-removable-hood#post-1943915 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 23:16:02 +0000 Anonymous 1943915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY. &nbsp;So happy that it arrived for you. &nbsp;</p> <p>As always your review is stellar. &nbsp;Thank you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-caslon-leather-moto-with-removable-hood#post-1943910 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 23:05:48 +0000 Angie 1943910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Reminding those who are asking about styling that the hood portion comes off. It’s work appropriate in a more relaxed setting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-caslon-leather-moto-with-removable-hood#post-1943903 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 22:39:17 +0000 Diana 1943903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! So glad it finally showed up! I agree with everything you wrote about the jacket - I can’t wait to wear mine! </p> <p>I too wish the lapels snapped down. Particularly when wearing it with the dickie zipped but the leather part zipped, it would have been nice to be able to fold the lapels down and out of the way. (I did feel like they were a little flappy although everyone here said they didn’t look that way, so it might just be in my head. In any case it’s only in that very particular configuration (leather open, dickie zipped) that they felt flappy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-caslon-leather-moto-with-removable-hood#post-1943897 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 22:20:51 +0000 Anonymous 1943897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't worn a leather jacket in years now, and your review has me interested again. &nbsp;Leather used to be a signature for me, and somehow it fell away. &nbsp;(there remains a short seasonal window to wear a leather jacket but it's nice to have a current one in the wardrobe ). And I'm interested in reading your reply to Suz's question about how you will wear this. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-caslon-leather-moto-with-removable-hood#post-1943895 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 22:17:08 +0000 Angie 1943895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOOOHOOOOO. Yay all round. Not a top pick for nothing, and you were MEANT to have this jacket. Enjoy. </p> <p>Thanks for the review. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-caslon-leather-moto-with-removable-hood#post-1943882 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 21:38:47 +0000 Suz 1943882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!!!! &nbsp;It came! &nbsp;So glad. It sounds like a really fun addition to your closet! Thanks for the detailed review.Very useful.&nbsp;</p> <p>Will you wear it mostly on weekends with jeans or do you think you'll also wear it with skirts etc.?&nbsp;</p> <p>You've done brilliantly at the sale this year!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-caslon-leather-moto-with-removable-hood#post-1943878 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 21:12:06 +0000 Colette 1943878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad you got it and it worked out. It’s a great looking jacket. Thank you for the detailed review as well, it’s really so helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/review-caslon-leather-moto-with-removable-hood#post-1943876 Wed, 01 Aug 2018 21:07:06 +0000 gryffin 1943876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well lo and behold my elusive jacket,which FedEx said was delivered but never arrived, appeared without fanfare or a call from FedEx today, not that I'm complaining!!&nbsp; I am very happy although it has not changed my opinion = I have FedEx!&nbsp; I will add my glowing review to the many written about this jacket.&nbsp; This is a light weight leather, nicely finished, hardware is blackened, true black, so the look is clean.&nbsp; The hoodie dickie is well made, easy in and out.&nbsp; I did not find it bulky.&nbsp; There were reviewers that said the hood was scratchy and poor quality, I didn't find it so at all, it's a nice substantial sweatshirt material.&nbsp; The pockets miraculously are functional and in the right place and depth on the jacket and then length is flattering.&nbsp; The only design flaw, I personally don't like useless things.&nbsp; The snap heads on the collar/lapels are not functional.&nbsp; There is no corresponding snap on the jacket.&nbsp; Unlike other reviews, I don't find the lapels flappy, there is a substantial crease and they lay nicely (but I actually like when you can snap them down, but it's not a deal breaker.&nbsp; The jacket is roomy per size.&nbsp; I am 5'3" 112lb, 34A usually a size 4-6.&nbsp; I find the jacket roomy, especially in the body.&nbsp; To have it fit like the model I would need to size down to an XS.&nbsp; &nbsp; Shoulder fits generously&nbsp; but neatly and there is plenty of room in the body to layer even with the hoodie.&nbsp; Sleeves are flatteringly narrow but again plenty of room to layer a sweater.&nbsp; Do NOT size up.&nbsp; This is a light weight jacket, there is plenty of room for light layering and I'd go with a heavier leather jacket if you are wearing it in really cold weather.&nbsp; Perfect for early fall and spring and refined and thin enough to fit easily under a coat or to wear indoors, like the nicest, most comfortable sweatshirt ever.&nbsp; Super buy at the sale price and if you can snag one highly recommended!&nbsp; (PS looks sloppier on the model than on me) </p>
