Help me find a new leather jacket?

[chocolatesaltyballs22]

Hi all, need some help from you style gurus. Decided to treat myself to a new leather jacket, the one I'm wearing at the moment is a battered Monsoon one which is way past it's sell by date. I'm a fairly fashionable 50 year old, size 14, 5ft 2. Looking for something black, budget up to £300. Honestly don't know where to start or what's fashionable at the moment? Biker style...or am I too old for that?! Help!!

Mine is v old Whistles and still excellent. If I were buying new now I'd look there, Hush (the Onyx style is amazing), Jigsaw and Baukjen. Not an All Saints fan myself but they do specialise rather in leather jackets. I have broad shoulders and can't do arm or shoulder detailing (as per PPs) so would look for a "clean" style.

It arrived this morning - love it. It's coming out on the town with me tonight!

Only just saw this as was about to offer my unworn All Saints size 14 jacket for a knock down price... that was an expensive mistake!
However, I think my one is a bit more embellished than yours. Great purchase, it looks lovely on you.

Aw nooo! Why don't you like it?

Just wanted to say THANKS to all who helped me choose, am absolutely loving my new All Saints jacket. It smells fabulous and looks great on.

Was just coming on to say All Saints but I see you’ve already got it! Good choice OP, I love mine.

Sorry chocolatesaltyballs22 - I typed out a reply last week on my way to work and forgot to post... I'd done lots of research into the All Saints jacket and when it arrived I spent ages trying it on with various outfits but it wasn't quite right. I think the cut and the some of the detailing just doesn't work on me.

Stupidly I faffed around trying to convince myself that if I lost a few pounds/wore it with X instead of Y etc it would be perfect. That hasn't happened and it's too late to return it now! 😳

That's a shame - would've bought it off you!
