Are they really "back"?

Also, if you have huge boobs are they just NEVER going to do up?

Don't think they ever fully went out. They come in all sizes.

I'm bias though as I ride a motorcycle, mine is a proper one

I didnt know they were out or in.

Ive got 2, both suede. love them

I never do them up though, who walks round with them done up, unless on a bike for proper biker reasons

Yes I do do it up on the bike, zipped up to the neck unless it hot, in Italy too hot!

Well I think we cross posted, yes thats what I meant, you're a proper biker so of course you do yours up.

Me strolling around the shops, I wouldnt do mine up

I never know when to take them off. Like if I wear one to work, is it a coat or like a blazer? Is it weird to sit in a meeting in a biker jacket? This overthinking has thus far ruled them out for me.

I've been overthinking too! 🤣

Big boobs - will they do up?
Do they only suit the flat chested?
Will it be too short?
Why buy a fairly expensive jacket that you're never going to do up?

So many questions.
Not intending to ride a motorbike!

@Arrestedmanevolence I wouldn't sit in a work meeting wearing one.

Yes, but the ones which are "in" are quite minimalist i.e. not too many zips and not too fitted. They are fine for dry and mild but not warm spring/early autumn days, but not much else, so if you want one, get it and wear it! Vinted is perfect for this as decent leather lasts pretty well. But I am very flat chested so I can't help with the boob thing. I have been wearing mine with bootcut jeans for a full-on 2001 look, but they also look great with wide leg jeans.

@CherryBrandies sounds fab
