The perfect leather jacket

I'm after a really decent leather biker jacket. I absolutely LOVE the ones from All Saints but I'm a size 16/18 so they won't fit me.

I was looking at the Whistles Agnes one bit again, sizing wise, I don't think it'll fit. I'm not too big but I've got broad shoulders and a generous chest and I'd like to be able to zip it up.

Can anybody recommend a similar style jacket, no more expensive than £350 that would fit the bill?

I absolutely love my Warehouse biker jacket. It's on par quality wise with the All Saints I tried on and a fraction of the price.

It's from a couple of years but don't dismiss the High Street for good quality leather jackets.

I've got one from River Island which I love - it is similar to this..I've got quite a bust on me and found River Island true to size and very accommodating! I love it. Soft quality leather and cut and I get endless compliments because it fits really well and is very flattering..I didn't think with my shape I could wear a flattering jacket but I'm really happy with it eu.riverisland.com/p/black-leather-fitted-biker-jacket-722128

You might be surprised with AllSaints @teacakeswithjamm as their leather jackets are very generously cut and will stretch. I've got the Bales jacket and I love it. Wait for the Christmas sales though as they're reduced fairly drastically - mine was £129 and they're usually £350.

Jigsaw leather is very good and they cut more generously than many.

I've got this one - it's lovely (and in the sale!)

Have you looked at Hush?

I recently got one from next. It is beautiful. I had the allsaints bales. It was lovely leather but it wasn't that comfortable. The next one I could wear forever, daily but am scared I wear it out.

The plum one is stunning.

I’ve had a next one for 10 years and it still looks new- it’s gorgeous! Similar to the one linked above but without the buckle.

@neveradullmoment99 I LOVE the Next jacket. Tempted to order the Plum.

I bought one from all saints but returned it when I saw Hush's jackets. So much softer and hung better

Thanks for all the amazing tips everybody. Dragging my husband out to try on lots next week.
