I do like #1 on you quite a bit, but not enough for a high-ticket expense. I am swayed by those pockets on front and the color, and how soft yet weighty the leather looks. I think it looks great from the front, zipped up partway. And you're a Sounders fan . . . in Colorado. Not that there's anything wrong with that-- ha ha!! Just a surprise.

I think I have just the scarf to model with the next jackets with when they come in.

You deserve better. The first comes close -- but I would wait for that gorgeous Bernardo Timber jacket to arrive.

Nothing wrong with the Portland Timbers!

I was going to hold onto the first one for a bit "just in case," but it's not good enough and I don't want to compromise.  This was my first NAS, and I think it might end up being a total bust. Bijou on "The Great Leather Jacket Search" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-great-leather-jacket-search#post-1708492 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 12:44:09 +0000 Bijou 1708492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have to echo Maneera, I think the elusive perfect jacket is still to arrive. Best of luck with the ones still to come. Maneera on "The Great Leather Jacket Search" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-great-leather-jacket-search#post-1708449 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 11:05:35 +0000 Maneera 1708449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Damn! I see what you mean. Of these 3, #1 is the best. But I still don't think it's "The One" either. Damn damn. You're patient, Jenn....I'll give you that. And such an inspiration for ppl like me who will easily 'compromise' just to end the search. Stay positive!

"If j were trying this on in a dressing room what would I do." For some reason I feel committed to make it work whenever ordered something. gradfashionista on "The Great Leather Jacket Search" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-great-leather-jacket-search#post-1708359 Fri, 05 Aug 2016 03:02:35 +0000 gradfashionista 1708359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Arg, so frustrating. I love the colour of the first jacket and the style in the last, but how frustrating to see the issue with the jacket in the back. Leather is so hard to tailor that you definitely want it to fit well from the outset. I hope something fabulous comes your way soon.

The truth is, if I took three leather jackets into the fitting room and none fit, it would be a lot easier to shrug off than ordering them all and having to send every one back. I, too, have high hopes for the Bernardo Timber. Hopefully, it's the same leather as the other Bernardo, and sizing up will be an option for that one (although, sizing down won't, so there's that.)

The colour is definitely best on #1, but that won't do if you dislike the fit. I am not terribly fond of the other in comparison, but I, too, hope the others will be better. How are you intending to wear this jacket? All three seem a bit short if the intent is to wear with pants instead of dresses, IMO. Style Fan on "The Great Leather Jacket Search" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-great-leather-jacket-search#post-1708262 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 23:24:07 +0000 Style Fan 1708262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have my fingers crossed for the Bernardo Timber.  I love the colour and the leather looks richer.  This is something you want to hang onto for awhile so hold out for perfect.  Or close to it. The 3 you have tried on all have fit issues.   This is something that is too important to settle for.  Angie on "The Great Leather Jacket Search" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-great-leather-jacket-search#post-1708248 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 22:44:33 +0000 Angie 1708248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Holding thumbs for the other jackets. I have high hopes for the Bernardo Timber.  Brooklyn on "The Great Leather Jacket Search" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-great-leather-jacket-search#post-1708245 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 22:34:04 +0000 Brooklyn 1708245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with Traci and AM. I think you should hold out for better. It is still early in the season. At least you scored on the EF poncho. And it's a very good placeholder Anonymous on "The Great Leather Jacket Search" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-great-leather-jacket-search#post-1708241 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 22:26:11 +0000 Anonymous 1708241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with suz, Barbara Diane and Kerry that the first one is the best. Nice colour. But keep looking! Traci on "The Great Leather Jacket Search" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-great-leather-jacket-search#post-1708219 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 21:50:53 +0000 Traci 1708219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ My favorite thing about the third one, both in your pics and in the stock photos, is the matte texture of the leather, but I see that's a turn off for you. I think all of these are "fine" but none hit it out of the park. Keep trying. In these price points you will find something you want to sleep in. AviaMariah on "The Great Leather Jacket Search" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-great-leather-jacket-search#post-1708211 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 21:32:21 +0000 AviaMariah 1708211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is one of those items that you want just perfect right?  I'd hate to see you get #1 on the premise that you will only like how it looks with a scarf.  I'm holding up hope that one of the next two will be perfect.  If not, it's just the start of the season. kerry on "The Great Leather Jacket Search" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-great-leather-jacket-search#post-1708207 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 21:19:43 +0000 kerry 1708207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ How easily PPP can become DDD - well put. I have been here many times. It's at these times I wish I could just design the thing myself since I know exactly what I want just can't find the perfect execution for my body. I love the first one on you - the colour is absolutely delicious!

I'll admit, I'm feeling more DDD--discouraged, deflated, and dejected--than PPP, but I'm doing my best to channel the three Ps...and the fourth one. POSITIVE. (At least my hair looks super-cute.)
