Leather jackets, any recommendations?

I've lost about 2.5 stone in the last year, and so I'm trying to invest in decent new pieces to fill my wardrobe, that will hopefully be built to last!

I haven't had a real leather jacket since I was a teen and stole my Dad's 70s-style one from the back of his wardrobe Grin

I have got sort of broad shoulders and big boobs, and I just don't know if there's a particular style that would suit my shape? I have a fake leather biker, but not sure that's the most timeless style, and also the material is so thick I can hardly bend my arms...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a still-chubby 42 year old?

I'm not a fan of the waterfall style, I feel it looks messy and a bit blowsy or something with big boobs.

Will definitely look at Lakeland - Barneys also seem affordable and have some bikers that are a bit less zip-heavy.

I find this too. Waterfall styles (of anything) just take away any shape (other than wide) I have above the waist.
