has anyone got this?

I really like the look of it and can't afford real leather at the moment - wondering if it looks nice or nasty and how it feels.

Get it, it looks nice.

Not seen in RL, but for £28 looks fine. You'll hate it next yr anyway, so no point spending £150+

could always just get it and then send it back if I don't like it couldn't I?

I have it in black and have worn it loads - have also received many many compliments on it.

People have stroked it and asked how expensive it was in awed tones .

Its cut quite small and fits perfectly.

Honestly - its better than the £250 whistles one I tried on and the next leather looks cheap as also tried those on.

God - how evangelical am I?

PlumSykes · 08/04/2010 11:29

I thought that was the one you had, tracey, but then thought it must be leather from all you had raved about it!

MissWW, you MUST get it!

DD tried it on but we didn't like it as much as their fake leather biker jacket - sorry traceybath - it was £28, looks real and I've worn it a few times too

Clure · 08/04/2010 18:18

I tried this one from new look and it looked lovely apart from the shoulders were too big ( I have very narrow shoulders) otherwise it didn't look at all plastic. Looking round for something similar - I don't wear leather so this sort of thing is ideal!

it's arrived! it's lovely, obviously not leather but very soft and a good shape.

how are you wearing yours traceyb? tried mine on over pjs and no time to fanny around today as spring(!) cleaning. I know, I know ...on such a gorgeous day (down here at least). Needs must.

traceybath · 10/04/2010 16:00

Oh I'm so pleased you like it!

Well I wear mine with rolled up skinnies, rolled up chinos (purchased today in new look), and have worn with a marc by marc jacobs silk tea dress.

Also quite often wear a light spring like scarf with it too.

traceybath · 10/04/2010 17:00

They are indeed those and I did indeed buy the size 6 - hence I like them so much.

I'd reckon you would be a 10.

I got the khaki colour.
