Pls help me find a gorgeous suede jacket for my MIL!

[rak5a]

It’s her 80th but she is quite young looking and very fashionable. We want to get her a beautiful suede or buttery soft leather jacket in a light colour (stone, grey, beige). Budget up to £250. I feel like I have an idea of it in my mind but I’ve been googling for ages and only find biker jackets or fake suedette. I thought it might be something that Mint Velvet or Phase Eight would do but no luck. Any ideas very gratefully received!!

I just bought this in the camel suede. It’s lovely! It is unlined though if that matters to you

It’s her 80th [and] she is quite young looking and very fashionable.

Fixed that for you, @rak5a …

All Saints

Also comes in a light suede but it’s £320 in suede as not on sale

Also this from Hobbs but only in a size 12

I love this - very wearable and I can just imagine trendy 80 year old in it. Am picturing a Helen Mirren type wearing this with cropped trousers 👌

Indeed! 👍

I got a lovely leather jacket in Marks & Spencer about 20 years ago, still going strong. Cropped, boxy style, but black.

This one might suit your MIL

Some more here, you can skip the biker styles

Oh just saw you don’t want biker! That makes it harder

this from Next says biker but isn’t really

Another hobbs

Lakeland do lovely leather jackets and they're so comfortable. Top quality, British made

Some on Next, can't filter out all the biker one but there's plenty

Ooh this one is really lovely. A little bit edgy but a bit toned down.

I like the Hobbs one.

Is this a surprise purchase? It’s quite an out there one if so, suede jackets are a very personal taste. I could love or hate one depending on several factors: colour, fit, style, pockets, zips, buttons…. Wouldn’t she want to choose her own jacket?

Google Repeat suede women's jacket - there's a lovely one still on sale but when I link it it fails to link to the page. Reduced from £300+ to £190

I really love it. I think it would suit anyone, it’s super soft and not even a little stiff. I’m so excited to wear it. I couldn’t decide between the 3 different suede colours but so happy I went with this one

@Userxyd I just recently saw RED and RED 2, and had forgotten/not realised how well Helen Mirren wears her clothes. There is something so innately stylish about her that harks back to the stars of the Golden Years of movies. It's not what she wears, but how she wears it.

I'm green with envy.

Batgain Apl Saints leather jacket if she is an 8. https://www.tkmaxx.com/uk/en/women/clothing/jackets+coats/jackets/black-sheep-leather-biker-jacket/p/35397057

This is so true! She's a proper icon - so stylish in every way

She doesn't want a biker
