Have decided to get a black biker jacket (so that I stop borrowing DD's) can spend up to £300...but the less I spend the more I have to splurge on other things. Have looked at this All saints or at the other end of the scale this New Look leaving me enough left for a Vivienne Westwood jersey dress.
I'm a short arse petite and mid to late forties so want to avoid anything too shiny, padded or embellished.
Please guide me oh wise ones, should I go for these or have you seen a better biker around?

That All Saints jacket is AMAZING. I bloody love it. Get that & see what Santa brings you from Vivienne Westwood perhaps!?

The All Saints jacket is lovely.

I don't think much of Vivienne Westwood jersey dresses tbh, they hang appallingly..

Thanks so much, I needed help justifying spending all that money ! almost Definitely heading for the All Saints, may have a little google or a voucher code first!

Whistles also have a gorgeous one just under £300, which is perfect for short arse forty somethings ..... (Of which I am one!).

Thanks all you trusty enablers the All-Saints just arrived, ordered with cashback on quidco (only 7% but better than nothing) and it is lovely, not too bulky, slim fitting and just what I wanted...off now to try it on with everything in my wardrobe.

wow the all saints one is GORGEOUS

not keen on the nl one, sorry, it looks a little bit cheap

leather bikers are an investment so i would go for the all saints one!

Ooh, I tried that All Saints one on Cathy, it's gorgeous - it's strangely pretty when on, which is odd for a biker jacket! I went for a different one in the end as I wanted one that was pure black rather than washed-out black, but kind of wish I could afford both... enjoy :)

oh just saw you bought the all saints one

well done! haha ;)

I love the All Saints one but how about this from French Connection www.ceciliaplum.co.uk/index.php?option=com_datafeeds&Itemid=42&q=biker&limitstart=180 I think steer clear of black as it can be draining on the face and a colour like this can go with anything, jazz it up with a stylish scarf and you are away!
