What do you mean moto size?

TenThousandSpoons · 15/04/2018 22:39

They look the same style to me but the first is unzipped? Both classic biker jackets.

FlibbertyGiblets · 15/04/2018 22:39

I'm really sorry, I looked at this yesterday and didn't answer because I don't know what moto size means Blush

So here we go: could you explain a bit about the moto size, I'm sorry to be thick. Tia.

They both look the same style to me. I think those style jackets can look dated and oversize jackets are much more on trend.

Not a scooby on what 'moto size' is, but Google tells me it's a motorcycle ergonomic simulator.

DrowningEveryDay · 15/04/2018 22:54

Sorry, I meant moto style not moto size.

Anyway this is the Balenciaga moto. Does this look dated/ageing compared to the Acne in the next pic?

Oh, I got all the pictures from Google.

No it doesn’t.
I prefer the first one. The second one looks boxy and unflattering.

SymphonyofShadows · 15/04/2018 22:58

If you are going to spend a lot of money why not get the real thing from Lewis Leathers? Anything else is just 'biker style'.

The first is a traditional style, the second trendy but no doubt will age quicker as it's probably a fleeting style.

mickeymacca · 15/04/2018 22:59

First one 👍
I got my vegan leather one from boohoo love it and only about £30

The third Balenciaga one is the nicest imo. The one the girl with the red lipstick is wearing.

TenThousandSpoons · 16/04/2018 09:43

Is the main difference the belt? Prefer it without that.

Yeah, and the one without belt sleekier, like an office blazer in cut. The one with belt is boxy.

A vote for the Acne here, but it depends on your figure. The style of the Acne one is surprisingly flattering if worn open on someone a bit curvy. I tried that jacket (or one v similar) on in Acne Archive Copenhagen a couple of years ago and it looked fantastic - I'm a curvy 5"2 for reference.

Admittedly, the style of the Balenciaga will go with more things...

ChinUpChestOut · 16/04/2018 11:58

I like the third one too - the girl with the red lipstick in my head I look like that too when I'm wearing mine. A dramatic, but classic style. Wearable for years to come.

ABuckToothedGirlinLuxembourg · 16/04/2018 13:05

I prefer the moto style to the acne one, and I’m usually quite a fan of acne. It’s just too structured.

SporkInTheToaster · 16/04/2018 13:09

I love Belstaff’s version but have loads of jackets and can’t justify £950.

Bugjune · 16/04/2018 13:11

The Balenciaga is timeless, so soft and gets better with age. A huge investment but worth it imo.

TenThousandSpoons · 16/04/2018 13:37

I’d go moto.

Tinty · 16/04/2018 13:46

Is the picture with the mobile you? If so, you look amazing, I would definitely go with that one. Smile
