I love the look of leather jackets, but have only owned one in my life. It’s a cropped oxblood jacket my sister got when I was little. She never wore it, so she gave it to me, and I’ve worn it only a handful of times. However, I think if I had the pleasure of owning one of these leather jackets, I’d wear it every single day.
All four leather hides are unique and amazing making me love them for different reasons. The Mackage jacket exposes my hippie side with a partial gypsy sleeve. The texture and simplicity of the Rick Owens jacket makes it practical and easy to pair with anything. Yigal Azrouël’s jacket caught my eye because of the studs— obviously— and, not only is the Bebe moto jacket fairly inexpensive, it follows this season’s oh-so-popular big shoulder trend.
If money was no object, which one would I buy?
Beats me!
Which is your favorite?
