It's DD's significant birthday this weekend and she's just told me this is one main thing she wants, not sure where to start looking and I'm thinking spring is probably not the best time to find one, though I saw a few around last autumn. Sh'es 5'10 size 8 and specified it had to be fitted and leather, maybe cropped though I tried to talk her into considering pleather also considering my budget.

Can anyone advise?

I think my maximum would be £150. Is that unrealistic?

All Saints is a good shout and sometimes have great sales - worth a look?

I'd forgotten about the sales and she does like All Saints. Will have a look!

I think you would struggle to get anything under £150 from All Saints at the moment.

Try Barneys at Asos, or Warehouse.

How about this one OP? £120

OP I've just bought 2 leather jackets from eBay. A brand new All Saints one & a Muubaa one both for a fraction of the retail price. Muubaa m is very similar style & quality to All Saints. Both them brands are premium brands & the styles & fit are lovely! I came across these 2 which are brand new with tags .....

I really like this one from Topshop.

I find Topshop jackets come up quite big, she might need to size down if she wants it fitted.

I know you said budget of £150 so only if she added on some savings if she'd like / a relative who would like to contribute some to top it up. If any of that is feasible this would last her ages and is a great fit. Just a thought - All Saints is usually crazy pricing but their sales are great for special pieces.

Forgot, in all the birthday excitement, to update you lovely lot.

Thanks so much for the helpful ideas and particularly loubieloulou as I went for your first link, the Muubaa and added an outfit of her choice with the change. She's barely taken it off since. The jacket not the outfit obvs Smile.
