![]() The buckles at the collar look great, even when not buckled (which is good because they’re a bit tricky to buckle without a mirror.) Love the soft leather and the hardware isn’t over-the-top either. This is the one I ultimately went with because it’s so rad. This one was more fitted than J.Crew but roomier arms than the Madewell jacket. AllSaintsĪllSaints Bales Leather Biker Jacket – Size US 6, UK 10. Cons: fit was too small, leather was thinner and the length was too short for my liking. Pros: soft, smooth, fitted (if you want that look). Looking at these photos it was probably more flattering in the arms than the J.Crew was, even though the roomier arms were comfier. It seemed just slightly more cropped than the J.Crew or AllSaints. It also didn’t have same strong smell as the other. It would probably be the perfect weight for a bit warmer climates. This one was out of thinner leather than the J.Crew but really soft, nice leather and a super smooth texture. Madewell Washed Leather Jacket – The Madewell and the J.Crew are SO similar it’s almost hard to tell them apart in the photos, but the Madewell fit smaller than the J.Crew jacket even though I tried Smalls in both. Cons: smelled strong and the leather was a bit more textured than I wanted. Pros: fit and length was great, leather was nice and substantial. I forgot to snap a picture of this one zipped, but it fit well when closed. I didn’t love that, but it wasn’t stiff at all. The leather had more texture than the other two. I really liked the slight faded black color and that the simple hardware that wasn’t over-the-top. I did like the width of the arms (a bit roomier than the others) but maybe too roomy to be flattering? The Small fit great and just a tiny bit looser than the AllSaints. J.Crew Washed Leather Jacket – Loved the fit, but this one smelled really strong though. Shana mentioned she’d heard great reviews about the J.Crew jacket and I’d recently seen the Madewell in-store, so I ordered both of those and a third from AllSaints (my all-time favorite British cool-brand) in the same price-range to check out and compare. A black leather jacket is amazing for fall, spring, for travel and as a closet staple, so with our upcoming London trip I thought it was time to really find the right one. I’ve been forever hunting for the perfect leather jacket for my wardrobe, but finding the right one at a reasonable price has eluded me for a long time. ![]()
