Grey 'leather' jacket

[LaTrucha]

I want a grey leather biker or biker-ish jacket for spring and have been scouring the sales in the hope of picking up a real leather one cheaply but I've had no luck.

I've come across this one, which is definitely at the upper limit I would pay for a PU one. What do you think? I have't been able to see it in RL.

I'm a pear shape, 5' 6, red hair, biggish chest. I'm worried it will finish at the wrong length for me - that is, just on my widest part.

Or have you seen anything better?

Oh bloody hell

You didn't mention your size - this is real leather for 84. Size 12 only though

I'm a 12! Checking it out frantically...

I think with leather and faux you really need to see them up close to know for sure.

I've just bought this one grey leather although found it cheaper on amazon (around £95) . It's really soft leather and the knitted inserts makes it very easy to wear.

Do you think shorter - ending waistish - is better on a pear?
I have only just confessed to myself that I am one.

yy, waist length is good, I'd say

I agree re fake leather BTW which is why I've been dithering.

You are very good! I've been looking for ages and in five minutes I have options! I think I'll order the Tesco one and see. There's only two left (not breathless at all, oh no, not me...)

Oh that espirt one is very good! Fit is everything and that knitted insert should allow you to have it fit properly at waist and boobs. I'd order a two or three sizes and play about a bit.

Mrs Lettuce, that's exactly what they do. I'm a size bigger in the boobs than waist (at least).

Me too. such a PITA with fitted stuff!

Sounds like that one might be better even. Not sure how small mybwaist is but lm a 30/32f. Cant find the grey n amazon though.

Here it is Here

As it was free returns I got 2 sizes and sent one back.

The esprit is best

I want to order them both but am feeling aggrieved as I have a voucher for 20% off amazon clothing which I have been trying to use for ages but havent found anything I want. Now I have it won't let me use it desite it being eligible by all the criteria i=o the email that came with it. Grr.

What did the sizing come up like mrspeacock? Were the arms tight?

I think the linea one you posted is by far and away the nicest, even if it is pu.

The knitted inserts go down the underside of the sleeves too so the arms don't feel too tight and gives extra movement that I like.

Just got a lovely faux grey one yesterday from Wallis for 29.00 in sale. You honestly can't tell it is faux aS am quite fussy like that. It is very similar to your one op, the reason I bought it was because it is exactly the same as a grey mint velvet leather one for 300, and there is very little difference on the look when I tried it on. It is still one website , it says petite on there but am normal size 10 to 12 and 34c boobs and it fits fine . Check wallis website x

I did see that one was put off by its being petite. I'll have another look! I want to try them all. Curses for not having RL shops nearby!

cheap I saw it in there though and it looks nice

Nodders, I love that jacket. Will have to look next wk and hope it's not too muttony for me.

I saw that one too! So difficult to know without seeing them in RL so thanks.

I ordered three in the end: the Esprit, the Tesco and the Wallis. The Wallis was my favourite, although I would like it a shade darker. For £29.99 though, I'm happy until I find my dream one.
