I have a choc brown one and never know how to wear it. Please tell me it's not frumpy..... I know biker jackets are favoured here.....

I hope not, I have a black one.
Had it years & love it, it's very, very soft leather. I wear it with jeans, smart trousers, skirts, dresses, anything really.

Hmm, I wonder if there's blog dedicated to leather jackets....

I love them and have been looking for a really well-cut one for years, ever since I saw one in Armani Exchange (back when I couldn't afford it). I love the way biker jackets look on other people, but the shape does nothing for me at all. I much prefer a tailored blazer shape.

where did you two get yours from please?

I got mine from Lakeland Leathers.

They only used to have shops up here in the Lakes but there are quite a few scattered around the country now.

I was going to say I hope not cos i love mine! Sounds like I am the dressing double of Aquelven. I got mine in Newcastle, in an independent shop.

Just looked & they don't seem to have a blazer style at the moment.

I think it depends on your own style.

I, personally wouldn't wear one because it's not my cup of tea, but honestly, my motto is always that if you like it and feel good in it then that's all that matters Smile

I have a dark brown one too which I bought in TK Maxx about 10 years ago. I love it but don't wear it very often

If you can carry it off, anything goes in my book. I think it would look good with skinny trousers etc. Think the volume either on top or bottom rule

I bought mine from Copenhagen earlier this year.....
