Leather biker jacket

[chorusline79]

My trusty fake leather biker jacket from miss Selfridge has given up finally! I want to get a real leather one this time but am not having much luck. I bought one from T K maxx, a barneys I've which looked lovely online but it just didn't fit well around the shoulders and arms so I sent it back. I have fallen in love with a reiss one but it's around £375 which is too expensive. I wanted to spend £150 max. Any suggestions wise stylish people?

Whistles.
In a 6/8 and there was no doubt an 8 was too big. 6 just right

Whistles!!

Notso - that is gorgeous! Really like that.

I'm a size 10 and get a small in ZARA and Whistles.

That Reiss one looks gorgeous. I like the look of All Saints ones but in real life they're very thick and heavy.

Thanks Enid, that's helpful. I used to be bigger and still can't get my head around sizes. Interesting re the all saints as had seen some on eBay of these but I don't want a thick one

The Barneys jacket has arrived and is beautiful but far too small :( I ordered the 12. I wear a 12 in coats and jackets usually but could barely even get my arms into it. Gutted.

Annoyingly I paid with a gift card code so will have to wait for a refund before ordering a size up.

ASOS do free returns by the way, you can drop off at a Collect+ shop or the post office or Asda.

Also the ruffly bits on the arms don't make it look bulky at all.

I can't do links but the TU at Sainsbury's premium leather one is great. If you can I'd wait for the October half term 25% off.

Yy the sainsburys jacket, I got a black one last year really good value & very soft.

Blimey that was quick evilharpy!
Bugger, it's so hard to predict sizing especially as the one I ordered came up big. Great that they do free returns though. And thanks for the info on the shoulders - good to know it's nice in real life

And thanks for Sainsbury's tips - I shall check it out. Love Sainsbury's stuff, saw a gorgeous green pinafore dress online the other day and that's on my list too!

I got one from a small uk based leather company. It was much cheaper and wonderful quality.

Chorus Loads of people really love the All Saints ones so have a poke of one if you can. It might just be me! They were heavier than I expected though. I'm still looking for a lovely super soft one.

Yy the all saints, they are lovely but I found them really heavy.

Another vote for the River Island leather jacket here. I bought one at the beginning of the year, love the length and fit and the leather is surprisingly buttery soft and smells amazing.

Lots of compliments about it too.

Mango leather jackets are fab and usually all prices under £150

Thankyou all, some fab tips. Now to find a day to go shopping and try them on! I went to my local t k maxx to return mine but they didn't have a single one in the shop to try on!

Hi mickhucknallspinkpancakes... what was the fitting like for the river island jacket and did it stretch? They say that the leather jackets loosen up thanks

Is the river island one shiny? I like the style but want a more matte effect?!

No i wouldnt say its shiny
