I know we only need one (am I right?) but how many do you have?

Or is there such a thing as too many? :)

Three. Grey biker, black biker, and navy 70s style, more like a blazer.

I have two - a dark brown with unusual lining, and a beige.

I only ever wear the beige because the other one's too big, but can't bring myself to get rid of it.

Ok, this thread makes me feel better about having more than one! :)

Re: tan biker - I actually want one, but afraid it will clash with my colouring. I'm a winter (cool-toned).

One gorgeous soft black leather blazer
One caramel suede
One bike jacket loaned to niece that I regret as I'll never see it again

Shit. I'm worse than all of you.

I have 5. Tan leather biker, pink leather, teal blue leather, chocolate brown leather (all collarless) and a (big mistake) white leather blazer.

Pink leather is now too small for me (can't do it up), the chocolate leather is just beautiful but was sooooooo expensive, the teal one has faded down one sleeve and the white leather one gets dirty after one wear and I'm seriously considering sending it to the Handbag Clinic and dyeing it navy blue. The tan biker jacket I wear loads.

I have three, a sheepskin, a casual leather and a cafe racer. DH has 9! They're all vintage 1920's-1970's and apparently are an investment. So he says.

Oh, god, I didn't think of suede. I also have a chocolate brown 70s suede coat, hip-length, which is a Berketex and I discovered abandoned on a rack in a Littlewoods which was closing down - I paid £10! - plus a calf length vintage tan suede coat with huge faux fur collar. I love both of these. So, I am at five. Whoops.

Blush

3 casual jackets, 1 3/4 lengh coat (first ever christmas present from DH), 1 mac, and one fab 3/4 length shearling coat. Oh, and one for riding my motorbike in

And full set of bike leathers.

Plus 2 leather skirts, a suede skirt, a leather peplum vest top, a leather t shirt, a leather minidress and a leather waistcoat.

I also have 4 pairs of leather trousers none of which currently fit 3 casual, one for biking.

All in their own special wardrobe.

Two - but I could easily use a few more! I want a black one but am yet to find one that a) I can afford and b) doesn't make me look like a sad, ageing goth.

Two

One short, dark brown, vaguely military-looking, unknown brand as bought on Ebay but is sooooo gorgeous and soft and hangs so well that I like to think it would've been expensive new Grin Sadly is a bit small so can only wear it open, but looks great like that so OK.

One thigh-length belted black biker from All Saints.
