Leather Jacket

[redbaubles]

I've been thinking I'd like a leather jacket but have never seen one I like enough (I've not spent too long looking!) and also never sure whether the £ are worth it.

I like the button up, black one the girl is wearing here;

for the reason it is button up - it looks a bit more feminine. I know I don't want one that has a fabric ellasticated waist or cuffs or one with too many zips.

Any suggestions on where to start looking and things to look out for. Are they worth it? Will it last? Will it date? etc etc

TIA

How close is the colour to the pic on TKM website?

Yuck.

The leather trade kills more than a billion animals (mainly cows but also pigs, goats, sheep, kangaroos and even cats and dogs) for their skins each year.

Yuck.

Pretty close - it's quite a warm dark grey.
I prefer it to black as it's softer on my skin tone.

I'm with you, Goldenhaze. Wearing dead skin is vile.

Oh no do not like the La Redoute! Stick to Tk Maxx.

What are your shoes made of?

Are you talking to Joan and Golden?

My shoes? Anything but animals' skins, thank you!

TK Maxx it is - I'm going to start with the original one but also try and get to All Saints over the weekend - I will report back!

Hope you find the one

Tragically Hip can I ask what the sizing is like on the Muubaa jacket? Do they come up small? Thanks

I don't think they come up small, the 10 is defo a bit too big and the 8 is pretty much fitted. I can be inbetween sizes sometimes. If in doubt order 2 sizes and send one back

Thanks :)

inspired by this thread i ordered one too from tk maxx bargainous! I have failed to do a link but it dark grey/black with knitted cuffs. cost £69. Looks better on than i thought, fits well, not bulky sleeves. so thanks for top tip!
