A Queen of Indecision - holding court: on leather jackets

Hope you're willing to bear with me at court again! I am a Queen of Leather Jackets, so I'm expanding my realm but looking for wise counsel

#1. I'm still on the fence about the gorgeous Classiques Entier Moss Lamb Leather jacket from NAS. It's that darn color, but it's also the unique style - too unique for my wardrobe?

#2-3. Then I find this Bagatelle number and it fits SO comfortably and the color is more 'usual'. What do you all think? Completely different style than #1.

#4. I already own this. Is #3 too similar to this? I think #2-3 is proportioned for pants and #4 for dresses, but what say you all?

So, I see the dilemma as #1 vs. #2-3, plus the bonus problem of where does #4 fit in?

Again, thank you for your time and comments, thoughts, etc.

Sara, I feel the CE leather jacket suits your wardrobe beautifully. You look so lovely in olive green and it definitely a neutral color.

I do love jackets 2-3 and of course number 4 (those buttons are fab, fab!)!

Do you have to give up 1 or 2/3 or are you allowed to keep both? If you have to give up one, then I think you should keep the CE and give up the Bagatelle. It is a similar shape/color to 4. Or you could send jacket 4 South and keep 1 and 2. ;D HAHA.

I like the olive green for fall and winter, the lighter one for spring.

That olive jacket is so so beautiful and looks fab on you. I like that it is not the standard leather jacket that everyone else on the block is wearing. I say keep that one and wear it often!

I love that olive jacket. I say go with that one. The other is nice, but I prefer your multi-button jacket. They are completely different, of course, but unless you can afford to enjoy two of such a similar colour, I say go with the olive one. It looks fantastic on you!

The moss is striking yet neutral (beautiful shape). I think you would buy this and be able to build totally different outfits as it seems to be a different silhouette than your usual.

Your button jacket is gorgeous! I see it is different from the middle one.

Can you try on the moss one with everything you own (:D that's what I do) and see if you feel it will tweak your style in a complementary way, or whether it fights it?

I think it could be a real boost for you but the issue is, being a different shape to your norm, can you accommodate that difference or will it be an orphan.

I hope it works for you as I love it!

#1 really steals the show here, IMO. It's an unusual color without being an obnoxious color, or something that will go out of style - the best of both worlds. Plus it drapes and hangs so gorgeously on you. The second one is nice, too, but it doesn't compare to #1 for me.

#1 is my favorite; the draping looks beautiful!

I think #1 is absolutely beautiful on you - both fit and colour. I think it would be very versatile in fall/winter.

#1 and no competition! Added bonus is that your existing #4 will have a role too.
Why the color in #1 is holding you back? I think it is a beautiful color unless you are very cool colored (which I think you are not). It should go with a lot of colors: neutrals, earthy colors, muted brights...

Okay, I know you and I share some items, and I'm going all out for #1 here. Fun shape, great color, perfect fit - the other one just doesn't compare.

Wow - I am totally surprised for the outpouring of preference for #1 -- when I can't see the forest for the trees!!

It's so obvious why I turn to YLF experts for clarity

I was theeesss close to returning #1 and just being done with the indecisive torment. . .

I really love #1, especially the color, but it does have a very different vibe than #2 - it's more dressed-up, while #2 is more casual. What are you after do you think?

Oh, sarah - just the perfect leather jacket that I didn't know I was missing. . .that's all!

Actually either one will be able to be worn indoors and is a non-black, mid-range color.

My current work certainly doesn't require being more dressed up but I like to do it anyway within reason.
