My body type is rectangle. No curves here.

Seller said the acne is 21inches from collar to hem. Sounds short for me. I'm almost 5'8".

@DrowningEveryDay ahhh yes - if you're tall (I'm jealous!) then maybe go for the Balenciaga style. I'm betting it'll look great!

Aaaargh. I really like the Acne though although I do have BLK DNM leather jackets that look similar.

Do you remember if the one you tried was cropped or u (or down?) to where the hem was?

By the way, I am buying the Balenciaga preloved (if I choose this) from a friend so it won't cost an arm and a leg.

Style-wise, I think I'm more suited to Acne but 1) I have some similar-looking jackets; 2) the length - might be too cropped for me.

@DrowningEveryDay from memory it was about hem length but that's on me and I'm about 6 inches shorter than you.. so maybe it would look more cropped on you? Annoyingly I no longer have a changing room photo of it!

I reckon if you've got similar ones to Acne then go for the Balenciaga as it's that little bit different and there's fewer high street copies etc. Plus, if you buy it from a friend as you say you're likely to get a better price!
