Distressed leather blazers

[Nothungrycat]

I've been on a hunt for one of these for a while as I think it would work well with the way I like to dress (a bit minimalist, a bit scruffy - think jeans and slightly beat up blundstones) I'd be very happy with vintage, but can't find one locally and am a bit reluctant to buy from Vinted in case it doesn't fit. I've just found a surprisingly reasonably priced one at Lands End and I'm wondering about distressing it a bit when I got it, so it doesn't look so shiny. I'd probably just stamp on it a bit and wear it around the house... Has anyone done anything similar??https://www.landsend.co.uk/s/LandsEndUK/Womens_Leather_Blazer/pp/6357106.html?cm_mmc=search_g_Pmax_GEN_22868467658_6600511402_c_6357106&utm_campaign=22868467658&utm_medium=Pmax&utm_source=Google%20Ads&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22862712624&gbraid=0AAAAADm_SrIEPWJV4fbUbI2NW-z5ZUznD&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5YrFy7-VkQMVg5FQBh3k5RjVEAQYAyABEgIVcPD_BwE

I think the shoulder pads might make it still look too smart!

I found one in a charity shop which is very similar. Worn in, super soft but it was a fluke. If you have time it’s worth trawling,

The one you’ve linked looks like it would be difficult to get it to look worn in and the shoulders make it formal.

I would try ebay or vinted. It will be loads cheaper and will already be worn in.

I used to have one of those in the 90s for college! I had forgotten all about it!

Me too in the 90s - although I'm old enough that I was actually working then. Wish I'd kept it... I'm now scouring Vinted for something I like...
