hiking in stilettos: Coveted Item No. 23

Coveted Item No. 23

I have long been on the search for the quintessential leather jacket, ideally from a thrift store, complete with worn patches around the elbows and softened leather from years of use. In my imagination, it is a light brown, 70s inspired piece that would complement dresses, skirts, and dark-wash skinnies. Unfortunately, it seems that this jacket exists only in my imagination, and so I have moved on to what is available at UO.

Option No. 1:

Silence & Noise Wyatt Moto Jacket

I love the caramel color of the one, but the pocket on the sleeve seems a bit out of place on a leather jacket.

Option No. 2

Silence & Noise Cropped Moto Jacket

This one is a bit more streamlined, but it is only available in black. Also, I am not entirely sure that I want it to be cropped.

So, I need your help, my lovelies! What are your opinions regarding these jackets? Perhaps you know of a great place to find the {perfect} leather jacket? :)

in the meantime, check your thrift stores! i'm betting somewhere like lucky exchange in atlanta might be a good hunting ground.; June 8, 2009 at 9:49 PM
