My Topshop one is on its last legs. It's so old the pocket bag size was clearly designed for a Motorola Razer.

I've got up to £500 (ish) to spend and I want something that will last another fifteen to twenty years.

Needs to be a classic black biker.

Any suggestions?

Mint velvet - I have two lovely black biker style - an old favourite is my esprit one but that’s brown…..

I recently bought one in Hobbs. Beautiful soft leather and nice styling.

Mine is from Ted Baker. Love it Smile

I would go in All Saints at least as a starting point and try on the different styles as they have various biker styles . I got mine from there and the leather is butter soft. The staff really know their stuff in there too as bikers are kind of their specialty

I love my All Saints biker!

Imsittinginthekitchensink · 05/05/2022 09:24

Got mine many years ago from Whistles, it's perfect.

shopafrolic · 05/05/2022 09:27

Whistles or All Saints are known as being good quality leather for the ££

I have one from Whistles picture here but the link is too old now
Bought about 5 years ago, butter soft leather and still in great condition.

TK Maxx is definitely worth a look. i bought a fantastic DKNY one there. They often have them on the website.

CombatBarbie · 05/05/2022 10:50

Absolutely all saints.... I lusted over their jackets for years and DH eventually got me one for Xmas. You do need to up size though if you plan to zip it up.

I have this one. Gorgeous quality.

All Saints, hands down, I looked at a number of brands before I got mine last autumn. Good selection of styles and leather is such good quality. Sizing came up small btw.

A got a Biba one from House of Fraser a couple of years ago. It's beautifully soft and was in the sale. They have a slightly different one in their range currently and again in the sale.

evilharpy · 05/05/2022 11:15

I have three from All Saints (in my defence one was a £15 charity shop bargain). They are absolutely lovely and only get better with age. I have a Cargo which they still sell (the other two are discontinued) and it's honestly just perfect.

I got mine from Massimo Dutti seven years ago! It’s still gorgeous but I have been thinking it’s day will come soon…

The grandfather collar style suits me better (not sure if that’s still considered a biker jacket), I have a version of this in midnight blue, love it, sooo soft, I look forward to autumn and spring so I can wear it! Liking this one too but not tried it on, so can’t say - www.massimodutti.com/gb/brown-nappa-leather-jacket-l04707606?cS=700&gclid=CjwKCAjw682TBhATEiwA9crl35s_sfAVOfSdUTZ-Q3OiTPzeFr4Y4Twydx3uXvN38PSJVZha8tk92xoCd-UQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

I have a beautiful Whistles one from a few years ago. I feel like its best fit isn’t very current though, and earlier this year I got a fab oversized one from H&M which feels much more modern. It’s surprisingly lovely quality for being about 1/3 of the price of the Whistles.

EllaPaella · 05/05/2022 12:58

I have the Allsaints Cargo and it's the nicest thing I own. Soft buttery leather, perfect style and fit.

LizzieMacQueen · 05/05/2022 13:05

I'd suggest looking at Reiss too. Though they are now part of Next I believe. I'm hoping they'll stay much the same.

Skinterior · 05/05/2022 17:43

Think a trip to All Saints is in order - thanks all!

Mine is Baukjen and lives on the bottom of the wardrobe in a bag. I'm trying to rough it up a bit and give the bag a squeeze every now and then. At the moment it's a waste of money. I can't bring myself to wear the pristine thing!

Gandalfsthong · 05/05/2022 19:51

Mine is from Hush, navy soft leather love it. I’d also suggest looking at All Saints too.

courtrai · 05/05/2022 19:53

I have a very classic All Saints biker which I love. Will probably last longer than me. They also have outlet stores which are worth checking

Bearsan · 05/05/2022 23:11

100% agree with All saints
