Muubaa (and other)leather jacket fits

Rollerbird · 07/06/2017 19:39

I am looking for a leather jacket i can wear with jeans, dresses etc - The whole ultra versatile item.
I am looking to get a non black as i am worried about looking like shirley from eastenders (am 50)
I want classy versus brassy.
I am size 10 32g boobs, suit fitted clothes normally.
I am looking at a muubaa monteria on ebay and wonder how the sizes fit? Eg a h and m i would be a 12, and a next a 10 on top. Slim waist, bony wide shoulders, long body and boobs.
Any experience? Otherwise what recommedation for a slim fit that i can wear in summer and winter (with a thick jumper)

For mubba I'd go up a size. I'm a an 8/10. Small shoulder but big boobs, I have a few mubba in a 12 or medium. They're often heavily discounted on brand alley

I have an all saints bales .

Rollerbird · 08/06/2017 08:32

nelly so would you say the muubaa are more narrow shouldered?
Eg in outdoor wear the brand Rab is for me a too narrow shouldered brand.
I like the look of the slim muubaa's like the Meursault and rosaria and monteria.
How is an all saints fit?
I need to try on.

Muuba is find on my narrow shoulders but smaller sizes are tight. On my chest

imjessie · 08/06/2017 10:47

All saints is true to size but mine stretched so but the smallest size you can if you go with that . They have hundreds in the shops when you go and I found them really helpful .

I have broad shoulders and 32ff boobs, and have leather biker jackets from both Whistles and Allsaints. Whistles fit better on my shoulders and are true to size. Allsaints jackets are just a teeny bit more snug in the shoulders but still ok.

I have a muubaa leather jacket and it's huge on my shoulders and the tops of my arms. I should really get rid of it because it is so unflattering.

Rollerbird · 08/06/2017 15:08

I might be interested? Is it a 14?
And what style?

Do you bank with Lloyds ? They often have cash back offers on all saints .

rightknockered · 08/06/2017 17:08

I think you should go down a size in that Allsaints jacket OP. It looks a little big for you

Rollerbird · 08/06/2017 17:43

Really?
I can go back tomorrow
They said it stretches some too.

Yes buy the smallest one you can fit into , mine stretched .. I wish I'd bought smaller

ArieltheMermaid1720 · 08/06/2017 18:05

I'm looking to buy the bales too and went in to get sized. I take a 12-14 usually and the girl in all saints advised me to get a 10. When she put me int he 10 I could absolutely see why, the overall fit was much better. It's definitely worth while calling in and speaking to them for sizing advice.

Rollerbird · 09/06/2017 17:05

They said this size was suitable. Wont usuallly have it closed and i do feel a bit squashed on boobs but it is comfy
What do you think?

Do you think it's too small? Cant decide!!

Def size down in All Saints, they do stretch, and even if they don't, biker jackets look much better slightly shrunken and fitted on your body. As long as you can wear it across your back and arms comfortably.

Also don't do it up, I know it sounds silly, but I don't think bikers jackets should be zipped up, style wise. Not speaking practically of course but if I needed to do a jacket up, I'd wear a different one all together.

imjessie · 14/06/2017 09:56

Yes it's the right size , it will stretch! I'm so annoyed with all saints because mine has stretched and it's too big . I've only worn it once! I emailed them and they couldn't give a toss!!🙄

PNGirl · 14/06/2017 11:04

I'm going to go against the grain and say I'm a big-boobed 12 but bought a 14 in the Bales. It's not really a biker jacket in my opinion and I wanted to be able to wear long sleeves under mine.
