J Crew Factory Pleated Leather Skirt

After missing out on the Fluted Skirt in Leather, I found the Pleated Leather Skirt from the Factory new arrivals and decided to take a chance and see it IRL.

First, this skirt is not part of the 50% off “everything” at the Factory stores or online as leather is excluded. During the Factory First Early Access, this skirt was priced at $157.50. The following day it went up to $198, original price of $228, so getting it early was to my advantage. I had ordered two other items that did go down in price but I’m not keeping them so there was no need to re-order those items.

I ordered the size 8 and this skirt sits right at my belly-button. The leather is supple and soft. Unlike the online image, the pleating does not extend to the hem. I love the length and it also has front slant pockets.

The back does give me a bubble but since I don’t see it I don’t think that will bother me.

Even though I don’t have a Leather Skirt in my wardrobe I don’t feel I need this. I will play around with styling this to be sure. 

What do you think of the Factory Leather Skirt?

    Did you keep or return this one? Did you think the leather was as nice as the scalloped Anthro one you recently tried?
