I'd really like a leather biker but...

I have a £50 budget.

So either I buy a faux leather one or buy a real one from eBay without trying on. Wwyd?

Ebay. Totally. They look better when they've been worn anyway.

I'm just worried about it not fitting, I suppose I could always resell if it doesn't fit though.

So I bid on one and won it for less than £10 including postage, but now I'm suspicious that it's not actually real leather. It's by Vila and a quick google before I bid showed it is a brand that ASOS sells, but further googling to see if I could find the one I won shows one that is leather look.

The eBay description says leather, not leather look or faux leather. Hmm, I guess I'll just have to wait and see when it arrives.

Many ebay sellers do returns...

£50 could buy you a real leather jacket from TKMaxx

So if you don't like the one you've got there are other options...

If it's not real leather then they have mis described it and they'll be getting it back.

I trawl tk maxx every week and they haven't had any decent leather jackets in. They're all Edina ronay middle aged leather jackets.

Yeah, TK Maxx is very much pot luck...

A friend of mine got (leather) one from New Look & I thought she said it was £60...

Keep looking at TKMaxx - I got a lovely one for £50 - really soft brown leather and it smells leathery!

I've tried on the new look leather one for £60 and didn't like the leather, it was rough, not what I was looking for.
