Where can I find a "petite" black leather biker/but not too teenagery jacket?

Save me taking the baby round the shops...please!
I am pushing 40 and don't want to look ridiculous, but I quite like roughening up my usual boring stuff with a bikery jacket. Am size 8-10 but a short-arse so sleeves have to be not too long. Would possibly like real leather (not sure how I feel about this an an ethical concept tho), but decent pleather is fine. And its the sales innit so nice and reduced would be good. Any good finds?

All Saints.

Good quality,various different styles to choose from. I spent ages searching for mine before finding my All Saints one. I just wanted a nice,plain leather jacket. Not shiny,covered in studs or shaped like a blazer (the latter baffles me).

French Connection had some nice ones before Christmas, and they were certainly not too long on me (I'm 5'4 but with quite a short body/longer legs so length of jackets is an issue).

avis is right All Saints do loads of nice ones.

alis, sorry! Blush

I tried this one on yesterday but it was a bit short in the body and the sleeves so might suit you if you are petite. Not leather I don't think but nice quality.

I'm 5'2 and got a Topshop petite one a few years back - I still love it, it goes with everything. Not sure what they have at the mo. Friend is 42 and got an amazing (pleather) one in Primark of all places - apparently she is stopped by randoms all the time demanding to know its provenance...
