Petite leather jacket help please

I love the soft unstructured black leather jackets that All Saints do, but have stumpy little arms. Has anyone ever found a petite equivalent that they could recommend?

I'm 5'1 and recently got a preloved whistles Agnes from eBay which fits me perfectly, not too long in the arms.

Ah great thank you! Will have a look.

Also have tiny arms. I picked up a stunning whistles buttery soft leather jacket in Oxfam - i had the sleeves altered (we have a local alterations place that is amazing), it cost me £25, but made it perfect. I've accepted that I can have lots of things that aren't quite right, or pay for alterations.

I have an All Saints one and am petite with short arms! Have you tried any on? Mine is fine

I too have a allsaints one and I am petite with short arms, I brought mine in the winter sale half price in January,

Thanks all - the All Saints ones are definitely too long (I think I tried them all on, and even the sales assistant said they were too long…). I have Lord Farquaad arms Grin Trying to get one altered made me a bit nervous given how expensive they are, but that’s maybe what I need to do. Whistles sounds promising too!

I'm 5 foot and I've got a size 8 all saints one that sits on the hip !

Are the all saints ones worth the money? They are gorgeous, I don't think anywhere else makes ones that look as good.

gunnersgold · 15/11/2021 18:52

I think so , I've never seen one as nice !

gunnersgold · 15/11/2021 18:53

I have turned the sleeves back on leather jackets before , you can just turn them in or out !

It’s not unstructured, but M&S has a faux leather black biker jacket in its petite range online

Definitely worth it in my opinion if you buy a fairly timeless style, I’ve had mine years and it still looks new, but is even softer than when I bought it.
