I have an unhealthy relationship with leather jackets, and that one is cute, so I had to go with yay.

I think the jacket is beautiful and the price is great. I say buy now and see if it's killer on -- if not you can return.

Gorgeous, Kim. I can see this colour working really well with your wardrobe, and the fit looks really flattering. Team yay!

I don't think you will find a better deal, so buy it now and if it isn't as great on as you think it will be then you can return it.

Ah, this is just where I was with the boots a few days ago. Summer coming, busted ankle, boots - seems silly. BUT, a great deal on something you know you'll want eventually is a big factor to weigh. I gave up on sweaters and tunics as the season started to pass. But the boots I went for. I say yay if you know you'll want a leather moto for next fall anyway. I say nay if you're not sure that's a style you still will be interested in come next season. Lot of help I am, huh?

I'm hopping on the Yay bandwagon! Great color, style, and price. You can always return if it does not work out.

you guys are such bad influences on me I ordered it in red and purple, but still needed more for free shipping so added some denim burmuda shorts and the Karen Kane handkerchief hem dress.
It is so hard to know if moto jackets will still be hot next year, but I searched all this winter for a leather jacket and never found "the one." I do remember trying on a Steve Madden jacket at the Rack before Christmas and the only reason we didn't buy it was because I had already bought my Christmas present. This "might' be the same one, it's hard to tell......
anyhoo... stay tuned for the fashion show next week

I just did the same thing with a blazer. In fact, I had the same conversation with myself about the blazer AND some clearance fab $20 trousers at AT.
I bought the blazer and left the pants because:
Blazer - blazers are a staple in my closet, I wear them year round if I can, they are classic, and will fit me regardless if I lose more weight or not.
Trousers - they fit impeccably and were excellent quality for the price, howEVER, being a winter weight, I'd only be able to wear them another week or two here and there is no telling what my body will be like next fall, so I passed.
In summary (wink), if it's something you KNOW you can wear next fall and the quality matches how great it looks, then get it.

The color is more fall/winter, but if it looks flattering on, for that price you cannot be wrong.

YAY YAY YAY absolutely YAY. . .it is gorgeous, and at that price, how can you pass it up, really!?!?

Edited: I just read your response, and had to tell you the first thing I wrote and then edited, was that at that price you should order 2 - but I didn't want to be to much of a bad influence. . .so I'm glad we were thinking alike!

A great piece knows no timing ( oh my, did I just come up with that ? ).

Yes, there will always be fabulous pieces in the future, but this one is fabulous in the present !! I hope you love it in person. And you will get wear out of it now. I say YAY !

Kim I don't think moto jackets will go anywhere; whether or not they are super mainstream and worn by everyone may diminish at some point (somehow I doubt it), but really they're pretty classic and will always give you a little extra oomph, especially with sweeter outfits. I certainly plan to wear mine regardless of what happens trend-wise. Definitely glad you picked them up!

Yay! I'm so glad you got this jacket, Kim! I can't wait to see how you style it! I have a red leather jacket that I NEVER wear because I don't know how to style it. I need to see some inspiration!

At that price, it can't hurt to try and return if you need to. Can't wait to see you in all the new purchases!

I'm so glad you ordered it! I think you're going to find it to be a timeless piece. Even if we do see less moto jackets in the next year or two they're sure to come back again.
