Have you posted it before? Too bad about the colour - hope you find another one!</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-almost-the-leather-jacket-i-want#post-1573491 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 00:51:22 +0000 Bijou 1573491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find most leather moto jacket styles feel very heavy to wear - so I am with you, I prefer a lighter more streamlined style of leather jacket. &nbsp;When buying jackets, whilst I do like them to look good done up, I usually wear them unzipped and so how it looks open is most important to me. &nbsp;So sad to hear that the colour did not work for you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-almost-the-leather-jacket-i-want#post-1573486 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 00:43:25 +0000 skeida 1573486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Danier has great leather jackets and their sales are amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-almost-the-leather-jacket-i-want#post-1418766 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 21:26:16 +0000 frannieb 1418766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Staysfit - I admire you determination to finding the perfect leather jacket. I cant wait until you find just the right one.<br />I am also another who I don't think the moto style works the best for either.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-almost-the-leather-jacket-i-want#post-1418731 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 20:20:23 +0000 Staysfit 1418731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I believe I have a Cole Hahn leather scuba jacket somewhere? &nbsp;Maybe it's hibernating in my DD's closet. &nbsp;I should dig it out and see if it works with my new color palette. &nbsp;I doubt it! &nbsp;It may have been banished for a broken zipper or some other simple repair&nbsp;reason - I will find it and figure it out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-almost-the-leather-jacket-i-want#post-1418687 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 18:14:45 +0000 Thistle 1418687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is a scuba jacket, and is a classic tailored style.</p> <p>Danier's in Canada seems to be "the place" to find good, reasonably priced leather.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-almost-the-leather-jacket-i-want#post-1418625 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 15:28:48 +0000 jackiec 1418625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally agreeing with Suz, and laughing at the term leather garden. It's true!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-almost-the-leather-jacket-i-want#post-1418616 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 14:19:43 +0000 unfrumped 1418616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also don't do moto style very well though I love the look on others. They don't work as we with pants for me, and that is more my leather jacket outfit than with dresses. I think " scuba" types work better because some have a bit of shaping and may run a big longer. Hopefully those also have some longevity! I would look for an easy- tailored fit, not tight, not oversized. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-almost-the-leather-jacket-i-want#post-1418587 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 11:41:47 +0000 Staysfit 1418587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent idea Suz! We are planning a spring trip to the Shaw festival. I've never considered Niagara a shopping destination but I see that there are two nearby. We also pass through St. Catherine's on a regular basis going back and forth to visit my DD in college, and my family. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-almost-the-leather-jacket-i-want#post-1418519 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 03:05:20 +0000 Suz 1418519@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Psssst. You need to come up to Canada.&nbsp;</p> <p>Wait for Danier's spring styles. Very reasonable, and they always have fun and interesting colours in the spring. In winter not so much -- you will see black, grey, ink, black, brown, cognac, burgundy, winter&nbsp;white, the odd cobalt, etc. &nbsp;(All lovely but not what you want.)&nbsp;But in spring, it's a veritable leather garden, and many styles.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-almost-the-leather-jacket-i-want#post-1418457 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 01:19:52 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1418457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This jacket is so close fitting. Assuming you found the right color, how would it work unzipped?</p> <p>Tory Burch tends to offer some collarless styles, too. This is not quite what I was thinking but still pretty nice. <a href="http://www.toryburch.com/brandy-jacket/32144546.html?start=2&#038;dwvar_32144546_color=201" rel="nofollow">http://www.toryburch.com/brand....._color=201</a> </p> <p>I'm tempted by the warm gray, myself. I wear a lot of the same colors you like. I find that I can never wear anything peachy or orange.</p> <p>I still think you should try the petrol all saints jackets that Firecracker suggested. Might be a little less work friendly, though. Their shipping is fast (overnight if you're an Amazon prime member) and returns are easy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-almost-the-leather-jacket-i-want#post-1418456 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 01:19:46 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1418456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Staysfit, you might not want to wait this long, but Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is a good place to look; there have been a lot of leather jackets featured during that sale for the last few years. I got one the year before last that is not a moto style and not black; it's "my" shade of green-tinted gray, and I really like it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-is-almost-the-leather-jacket-i-want#post-1418428 Sun, 04 Jan 2015 00:26:15 +0000 Staysfit 1418428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered this leather jacket from Nordstrom after the Vince jacket didn't work out.&nbsp;&nbsp;I absolutely&nbsp;love the shape and style&nbsp;of this jacket.&nbsp;&nbsp;I was hoping it would look a little more pink, but the color, Geranium, is a&nbsp;warm&nbsp;orange/coral.&nbsp; The jacket looked great but the color made my skin look unhealthy and&nbsp;sallow. &nbsp;</p> <p>I prefer this style leather jacket, over a leather moto. &nbsp;Am I nuts? &nbsp;Is this totally unfashionable? &nbsp;If I could find a similar&nbsp;jacket in a cool toned mid blue, &nbsp;red, maybe even green,&nbsp;and it fit as well as this one fit me, I would be thrilled. &nbsp;Extra bonus if it costs less than $700! &nbsp;Can one be found? &nbsp;This is a new challenge for me in 2015. &nbsp;The hunt begins!</p> <p>So sorry I didn't get any photographs, but the fit was pretty much what it looks like on the model &nbsp; &nbsp;The big difference, I am not a model! &nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
