I know we only need one (am I right?) but how many do you have?

Or is there such a thing as too many? :)

I have 4 leather and 2 suede. I'm a sucker for leather.

lurkingaround · 06/05/2015 09:51

I opened this thread and thought HOw Many??? Who has more than 1? And then I thought. Oops Blush I have 1 suede and 1 leather.

Judydreamsofhorses · 06/05/2015 10:07

Three. Grey biker, black biker, and navy 70s style, more like a blazer.

Dancergirl · 06/05/2015 10:13

I have two. A brown leather Mint Velvet biker jacket which I bought in new condition from Ebay for £50 Smile

And a v light brown/beige suede biker from Hobbs sale which I haven't worn yet!

hellsbellsmelons · 06/05/2015 11:19

Used to have 3 - you need 3 colours - brown, tan and black.
Some fucker stole my black one when I was out a while ago.
So now I only have 2 Sad

noddyholder · 06/05/2015 11:21

None now

KoalaDownUnder · 06/05/2015 11:29

I have two - a dark brown with unusual lining, and a beige.

I only ever wear the beige because the other one's too big, but can't bring myself to get rid of it.

AmelieinOz · 06/05/2015 11:36

Ok, this thread makes me feel better about having more than one! :)

Re: tan biker - I actually want one, but afraid it will clash with my colouring. I'm a winter (cool-toned).

I have 4, all different styles.

lastlines · 06/05/2015 11:41

One gorgeous soft black leather blazer
One caramel suede
One bike jacket loaned to niece that I regret as I'll never see it again

ChinUpChestOut · 06/05/2015 12:36

Shit. I'm worse than all of you.

I have 5. Tan leather biker, pink leather, teal blue leather, chocolate brown leather (all collarless) and a (big mistake) white leather blazer.

Pink leather is now too small for me (can't do it up), the chocolate leather is just beautiful but was sooooooo expensive, the teal one has faded down one sleeve and the white leather one gets dirty after one wear and I'm seriously considering sending it to the Handbag Clinic and dyeing it navy blue. The tan biker jacket I wear loads.

MsMcWoodle · 06/05/2015 13:20

2 black, 1 brown, plus one brown suede.
Plus a black leather coat and a brown suede coat.
Plus I've just ordered a blue jacket.
Naughty bad.

WipsGlitter · 06/05/2015 13:23

None. I hate them.

coffeetasteslikeshit · 06/05/2015 13:28

none

Clarabumps · 06/05/2015 13:29

I have three, a sheepskin, a casual leather and a cafe racer. DH has 9! They're all vintage 1920's-1970's and apparently are an investment. So he says.

mowglik · 06/05/2015 13:33

I have 4 one mint velvet one with furry white bits on the front, 2 black drapey ones and 1 more shiny black one with zips

I wear them most of the year except in deep winter or high summer

Greengardenpixie · 06/05/2015 18:35

none

ZaraW · 06/05/2015 19:01

I don't have any either much prefer wool or cotton.

Judydreamsofhorses · 06/05/2015 19:18

Oh, god, I didn't think of suede. I also have a chocolate brown 70s suede coat, hip-length, which is a Berketex and I discovered abandoned on a rack in a Littlewoods which was closing down - I paid £10! - plus a calf length vintage tan suede coat with huge faux fur collar. I love both of these. So, I am at five. Whoops.

mooth · 06/05/2015 20:09

In current wear - three, (Karen Millen, Mint Velvet black, Mint Velvet grey, brand new). Old ones - loads.

Smarterthantheaveragebeaver · 06/05/2015 20:27
Blush

3 casual jackets, 1 3/4 lengh coat (first ever christmas present from DH), 1 mac, and one fab 3/4 length shearling coat. Oh, and one for riding my motorbike in

And full set of bike leathers.

Plus 2 leather skirts, a suede skirt, a leather peplum vest top, a leather t shirt, a leather minidress and a leather waistcoat.

I also have 4 pairs of leather trousers none of which currently fit 3 casual, one for biking.

All in their own special wardrobe.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/05/2015 20:28

Two - but I could easily use a few more! I want a black one but am yet to find one that a) I can afford and b) doesn't make me look like a sad, ageing goth.

dublingirl653 · 06/05/2015 20:44

four

one black three brown

bought two of them in Argentina
love them
how much is too much to spend on a leather jacket??hmmmmm

TulipOHare · 06/05/2015 20:51

Two

One short, dark brown, vaguely military-looking, unknown brand as bought on Ebay but is sooooo gorgeous and soft and hangs so well that I like to think it would've been expensive new Grin Sadly is a bit small so can only wear it open, but looks great like that so OK.

One thigh-length belted black biker from All Saints.

AmelieinOz · 07/05/2015 00:48

dublingirl653 - that's my next question!

How much is too much to spend on a leather jacket?
