On my post yesterday about the tempting navy leather jacket, Angie, you expressed an interest in seeing my full leather jacket collection. It's actually a good exercise to pull them out and evaluate them, and how they relate to my style these days.

So, gulp, for public consumption, here is the collection:

Pic 1 - 1. emerald green perforated Skunkfunk jacket - not a workhorse because the color is rather springy and our springs are not long, but fun and was a bargain a couple of years ago.

Pic 1 - 2. Belstaff olive green long motorcycle jacket. Was a great deal for a great brand. Nice, slightly rugged but fitted jacket and actually gets worn on a motorcycle!

Pic 1 - 3. The darling. IRO cobalt moto. My favorite and a workhorse.

Pic 2 - 1. Theory metallic cropped jacket. Probably 4 years old, good bargain. Not worn much these days but I may experiment with the cropped length a little more this fall. Bracelet sleeves are a little challenging.

Pic 2 - 2. Muubaa RATE jacket. I'm moving a bit away from the RATE style lately but this is still fun.

Pic 2 - 3. Yigal Azrouel convertible cropped burgundy jacket. Fun as a jacket or a best but due to the cropped length, not a workhorse.

Pic 3 -1. Black Helmut Lang. Love this. Lightweight, not outerwear at all, but a near-workhorse.

Pic 3 - 2. The new Michael Kors brown and black hooded jacket. Great rugged addition to the outerwear collection. I predict a workhorse.

Pic 3 - 3. White Truth & Pride from NAS last year. Total Workhorse. Love.

Pic 4 - 1. Michael Kors black moto from about 5 years ago. Basic but got worn a lot in past years for outerwear. Didn't get quite as much wear this past year.

Pic 4 - 2. Old (12 or so years?) periwinkle jacket that I haven't worn in ages but keep in case I figure out how to make it look more current. Love the color.

So...any thoughts or feedback on if any of these should go? Or if there is a place for that grey Truth & Pride or the navy Vince jacket? I know I have a lot, and this is just the leather jackets. There are a couple of blazers, a couple of bombers, denim jackets, and a couple of wool motos (including the teal Rebecca Minkoff).

I admit, i am far from a wardrobe minimalist, but I do want to keep my closet under control. I can only wear jackets regularly for about eight months out of the year, so i don't want a ridiculous number. I also want quality pieces with longevity. I've sold or given away at least twelve older jackets in the last three months, but I want to be thoughtful about what comes in.

I know these pics aren't the greatest, just getting a quick inventory. Any thoughts and reactions are welcome.
