I would get it, whichever size you decide. You will definitely regret passing up a HEWI like this at any price (says she of the lost polar bear clutch).

Thanks all and Angie thanks for posting the Find. That's it. I think I need to eat something and go back.

The price is not cheap, but it is not necessarily that expensive for a high-quality leather jacket that will be killer. So I am enabling you.

Deciding at home sounds like a good plan.

Not to muddy the waters but leather does stretch some, too...

I also need to see how it looks with denim. I would want to wear with jeans sometimes.

It looks darker in your pics than on the website. Is it a dusty color? Close to denim? Or more saturated?

lOVE it! I agree that sized up still looks good but I think you are a better judge than I. It is so nice and thick and luscious looking. And the colour is just perfect. It is not a trendy colour, so will have a lot of longevity. Looks fabulous with your boots, hair, and scarf. I'm not sure I could positively reinforce this jacket enough.

So so beautiful on you, Suz. Please get it so I don't have to.

So great. And how do you look like Gwyneth Paltrow in store lighting.

It looks nice sized up -- not too big at all -- so if it's more comfy and versatile that way, that's what I'd get. It's really perfect on you.

Bought the larger size. It worked okay without layers and mostly I will wear when I might also wear a pullover

Thanks for help!!!

Una. The colour is dusty mid blue. These photos a bit darker than real life. Hard to represent it. It is soft.

By the way the pants are Kit and Ace. Supposed to be worn low but I wear at my waist.

Late here but wanted to say how lovely I think it looks on you and so glad you got it! It's such a beautiful blue!

How beautiful. I am so glad you got it! It looks made for you. Love your smile in these pictures!

OMG I love-love-love this on you! So glad you got it.

Thanks for enabling! I think I will wear a lot. Silver hardware by the way. It is like a slightly faded denim. Dusty. More like website than my picks Una. But somewhere in between. Got compliments from other customers when I put it on.

I'm glad that you bought this. It is your color and style. A great way to make Jean outfits look special.

(clapping hands and murmuring to self in admiration)

I know you don't have a long window for leather, but school is an indoor/outdoor affair, and you could keep it on in a cooler classroom, and wear it out and about as well. It's also got a longevity factor that will allow you to enjoy it for years, instead of for one season.

Cannot WAIT to see you play in the closet with this beauty. I can see you wearing it with jeans, scarves, booties, boots, oh the possibilities!

Sounds like a great decision! You look amazing in it. A HEWI is a great wardrobe addition and you waited an extra long time for this one. I am always happier with a bit of room for layer and movement in a jacket, even one that I intend to wear open. That doesn't appear too big at all in the larger size.

The jacket has been decided, and a cool blue leather jacket is also a HEWI for me (I am looking for a less cropped style), but just wanted to say how incredibly cool your hair looks! You look beyond fab!

Suz, the jacket looks amazing! Just stunning on you. Glad you bought it. Love the fit and the colour is just beautiful:)

I had no idea there was one of these in TO. Where have I been ?? Website has lots of interesting looking pieces and colours.....

You had me at blue too!

Woohooo. Glad you spoiled yourself, Suz. It's a piece with a very high longevity factor. You will love it! And it totally loves you.

Fun how these pieces pop up when we don't look for them. Had a tomato red retro jacket on my shopping list for a while. Couldn't find it. Forgot about it. Out of the blue I found it at Zara yesterday.

Glad you bought this. Looks great on you.

Angie, that is great about your new jacket!!

Yes, this moto will have longevity for sure. And because it is lightweight I will wear it indoors as well as out. I tend to wear my blush and white leather jackets as outerwear only and the taupe blazer as an indoor piece.

Beautiful jacket!

I was eyeing this when I saw it in the finds this morning. Have been looking for a blue leather jacket.

How did you find the sizing, Suz? I know MD can run small. What size would compare to a Small at Danier and Banana Republic?
