My first biker jacket!

[MumNeedsTea]

What do you think of this one Mango

Just did a google search for biker jackets and this one came up.

Thanks

Bit shiny and oversized for my taste

Sizing is what I'm not sure of... Any tips on how to choose a good biker? As the title suggests, I've never had one before

if its for the look rather than for biking then i can recommend one they have at the moment in Superdry

I know this is a bit simplistic and the money might not be available, but no fake leather ever looked good, on a jacket or a bag.

You would be so much better waiting until you have the money to buy a leather one, which will just get better with age. They start at a very reasonable price now.

IF money is an issue (and you've not said whether it is or isn't), could you stretch to something like this:

(I think the model is actually wearing it a size too big though!)

Whitney I could buy a real leather one. I'm just not used to spending too much money on clothes... May explain why I constantly need to shop and still have nothing to wear

The need to buy a biker jacket comes from a drive to finally get my wardrobe organised and have some basics... So I have quite a bit of shopping to do

Go proper leather then. Leather will get better at higher than 'entry level', but even the cheaper ones will be better than fake leather.

For what it's worth, I think the leather biker is something that has been around for years and is going nowhere, so find one you love and be confident that you'll get the wear to justify it. Don't necessarily restrict yourself to black either, if it's not the 'staple' you think you'll get most use of.

Hi i also bought a leather jacket from Sainsbury this year with 25% discount during their sale.. you can get good leather jacket.. n though it is the most expensive piece of clothing i have but it will last longer hence i do agree its better than buying a faux leather

I’ve had my leather biker jacket for 12 years and still wear it loads. It’s worth the investment.

I just got a leather Violeta one in burgundy. Hasn’t arrived yet but I’m hoping I can pull it off!
