It was difficult to zip up. A sausage really was a good analogy!</p> <p>Then I bought a dark brown leather field jacket in two sizes from Eddie Bauer. The larger size looked ridiculous, and the smaller size was snug (and uncomfortable) through the shoulders. I posted pictures of these.</p> <p>Then I bought a jacket similar to the Eddie Bauer one (field jacket style) from Zappos, and made by Stetson. It was a tiny bit western looking (the yoke looked western) but acceptable to me. They didn't have all sizes so the one I bought was huge. I didn't bother to post a picture of this one. Uh oh, I still have to send it back!</p> <p>Then I just happened to find a medium brown distressed leather bomber jacket at Savers (for $10.50!). I posted pictures of this one. I love it! It's a beautiful quality, brand new, in a style I like. And I like the fit of it, too. When I had brown hair this would have been perfect. I think I can still wear brown because my eyes and eyebrows are brown.</p> <p>So you can see I have bought a few jackets. I sort of fixed on a grey jacket because of my hair. In front it is silver with natural white highlights. My stylist calls it platinum. In the back it's grey. Anyway, I think this shade of grey would look good with my hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-i-ever-learn-i-ordered-yet-another-leather-jacket#post-1166552 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 12:20:06 +0000 April 1166552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen, it can be so hard to find just the right jacket. &nbsp;When I was first on YLF there were a lot fewer leathers around. &nbsp;Every time I would buy a jacket, I would post a photo and the YLF consensus would be that it was too big. &nbsp;Some of&nbsp;those jackets felt awfully tight to me when I was in them, but somehow it wasn't reflected in the photos. &nbsp;</p> <p>My point being, are you sure the jacket looked overly snug? &nbsp;If it&nbsp;<i>felt</i> too tight then forget it, but if it was the appearance you were worried about, you might be surprised by the feedback if you can bring yourself to post a photo. &nbsp;</p> <p>The good news is that we now seem to be in the era of leather jackets. &nbsp;I hope this one works for you, and maybe you'll post photos even if you don't think it does?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-i-ever-learn-i-ordered-yet-another-leather-jacket#post-1166458 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 05:51:21 +0000 catgirl 1166458@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't wait to see it!&nbsp; I love this shade of grey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-i-ever-learn-i-ordered-yet-another-leather-jacket#post-1166451 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 05:44:49 +0000 JAileen 1166451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, yes, I believe it will. I hadn't thought of that. Yeah! Plus I just bought some grey and navy tee shirts, which may also go. </p> <p>You know, after a lifetime of wearing earth tones, I'm discovering a whole new world.</p> <p>Fingers crossed it fits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-i-ever-learn-i-ordered-yet-another-leather-jacket#post-1166441 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 05:28:40 +0000 Anonymous 1166441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It will also go with your pewter boots, won't it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-i-ever-learn-i-ordered-yet-another-leather-jacket#post-1166438 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 05:25:55 +0000 Anonymous 1166438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a beauty of a jacket and should look fab with silver hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-i-ever-learn-i-ordered-yet-another-leather-jacket#post-1166421 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 04:41:06 +0000 lyn* 1166421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what a lovely leather jacket!

I buy a jacket, thinking it'll be great. But then it doesn't work, and then I return it. Repeat and repeat and repeat.</p> <p>I already tried one that was similar to this one, from Nordstrom. I looked like a sausage (I didn't post the picture). </p> <p>Anyway, fingers crossed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-i-ever-learn-i-ordered-yet-another-leather-jacket#post-1166144 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 22:25:46 +0000 Thistle 1166144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope it works for you!&nbsp; It looks so pretty in the picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-i-ever-learn-i-ordered-yet-another-leather-jacket#post-1166138 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 22:21:08 +0000 April 1166138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jaileen, trying to find the correct interpretation of your subject line --&nbsp;are you having trouble finding any leather jacket that works for you, or do you have a lot of them the way some of us [innocent whistling] do? &nbsp;</p> <p>Either way, this one looks good. &nbsp;I find my leather jackets incredibly versatile throughout the spring and fall. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-i-ever-learn-i-ordered-yet-another-leather-jacket#post-1166095 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 21:36:35 +0000 Anonymous 1166095@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's such a pretty shade of gray!

It is made by Scully, which makes western wear. This didn't look western to me, though. I'm really trying to embrace my new silver hair. Obviously the true test will be quality and how it fits. What do you think? </p>
