They are rife in the shops right now, but will order one online.

Dorothy perkins
New look
Top shop
Asos
Oasis
River island
Tk max
French connection

They all have them and they all look good

So who's bought one they love?

I got a bright red one from Primark which I love, but that doesn't really help you as you can't order online - sorry!!!

I have this one
www.topshop.com/en/tsuk/product/clothing-427/jackets-2224744/biker-bomber-jackets-574/collarless-biker-jacket-1769334?refinements=category~%5b209750%7c208526%5d&bi=1&ps=20
which I love and was very reasonable in price!
I suppose the fit you go for depends on your shape and size and what you want to wear with it - I am 5ft 5 and a size 10 and my basic look is dress, biker jacket and boots so works for me!

I got this one from All Saints a few months ago and love it, hoping it's going to last me forever.

River Island black one with quilting detail, bargain at £100 and gorgeous soft nappa-esque leather, slim in the arms and a lovely shape, silver hardware. Perfect IMO.

MimsyBorogroves · 09/09/2013 21:13

I have an all saints one too - leather oxblood (purple). It's gorgeous and soft and, as above, I'm hoping it'll last and last.

Divinydelle - topshop one looks like the short of style I like.

Is it obviously not leather?

Do you need to size up?

I am usually 12 on top, 14 below. 5ft4

I have and love one from Oasis. It's nearly two years old now and is wearing really well.

Whistles - this is mine. I was lucky enough to have it bought for me by my very generous boyfriend. Not been out the wardrobe yet as I got it in May and it's been far too hot since. Hopefully will get plenty of wear out of it this Autumn.

Kezztrel · 10/09/2013 12:00

I tried that one on when I was looking for mine 101, it's lurvely :)

Kezztrel · 10/09/2013 12:02

The one I had before my All Saints one was from Warehouse - really really soft leather and perfect shape, so they might be worth checking out too. It was around £120. I ripped a massive hole in it on holiday after 4 years wear :(

101handbags · 11/09/2013 10:09

Thank you Kezztrel, it's the first leather jacket I've ever owned & I had wanted one for ages.. and tried on many.

aoife24 · 11/09/2013 18:08

I got one in Oasis, about £60.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 11/09/2013 18:10

Personally I'd deffo go for real leather, not pleather. I think it's hard for pleather ones to not look cheap, and whereas leather just gets softer and nicer with age, pleather looks crap doesn't.
