I jumped right on Angie's link to this jacket (BCBG Dru Double-Front Moto Jacket) and got 50% off with free overnight shipping. Wow. It came tonight and I tried it right on over the shirt and pants I'd worn to work.
what I like:
- I've really wanted a white moto jacket and I like how the color looks with this representative sample of my Spring work wardrobe.
- I like the whole zipper/flap/moto aspect of the style.
- The sleeves would be very easy to shorten.
what I'm not sure of:
- the fit is roomy and very boxy, and tends to make me feel tankish. There's a fit problem that I've had before, which is that when a jacket fits up top sometimes it ripples and waves around my hips. I think the jacket looks better in pic 2, but I'm not usually going to be able to jam my hand into my waist to give it definition!
- I didn't read the description carefully enough, and didn't realize that this is actually a textured cotton fabric jacket. The fabric is a little bit stiff. Also I wonder if it would be very difficult to keep clean (as opposed to wipeable leather or faux leather).
What do you all think? I only want it if it's a 10 (never written those words before!)
