I received quite a few questions and requests about the VS Leather Jacket in this post that I thought I’d give a quick post dedicated to it.
Measurements: Chest=18 in, Waist=17 in, Length (from back of neck to hem)=23 in
On my mannequin…
The peplum is so minimal and gives the jacket a girly touch to it.
On me…
You can see in this pic that the sleeves are long on me. Because there is a zipper on the sleeves I don’t think I’ll be able to alter it.
Love the quilted/seamed detail on the sleeves and at the waist.
There are two Leather Jackets on the website. This one is called Leather Jacket, Style #VE-305-633 and the other is called Leather Moto Jacket. I ordered a Medium/8-10 and the fit is perfect everywhere including the arms. I cannot put a thick sweater under this but a Tippi will be fine. I am amazed at how beautiful this color is IRL. The very first pic at the top captures the color very well. I took a chance since there was not a pic of this jacket online, just a swatch of the color. I’m so happy I chose this one.
Ooh, the color is beautiful and the fit looks so wonderful (boo about the sleeves — wonder if there's any way?). Thanks for the review!
Hi! Great jacket! A good tailor who works with leather should be able to move the zippers, if there is room. Or replace with shorter zipper. I had a jacket done before we went to France, and the sleeves came out great. The jacket Looks fabulous on you!
Audrey thanks again for posting about this jacket. I ended up ordering it. Although I love the color of yours I got the black because I've been hunting for a black moto leather jacket for a few years. Hopefully my hunt will be over. I am sure I'll find something else to obsess over finding:)
I have not purchased "clothing" from VS in over 20 years. You look great in this. They have a beautiful tuxedo jacket in navy that I might need to try.
This looks great on you. I've never seen anything like it! Very chic!
