I got it on mega sale from banana republic when i was last in new york. Anyway, in the hunt for it's replacement, I tried on lots of other jackets by more well known companies, but the one i got in the end feels like it was made for me (it's by a melbourne company, ivy and white). i feel a little bit guilty, but i'm kind of glad i got to buy a new one. i don't feel like i settled this time around.Nyssa Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03611807702587831444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-35502501834156256552013-09-21T12:23:33.817-04:002013-09-21T12:23:33.817-04:00Yes to the leather jacket!!

I have a couple but am dead set on adding a more relaxed and warmer version. <br /><br />I prefer to use my leather jackets as jackets and don't want to feel too constricted.

Sorry about that. Won't repeat myself exactly except to say that I agree that a leather jacket is a must-have staple for any wardrobe. I have two that I love (very different styles) but neither has been a real investment piece. I fantasize about one day having a RO classic and a BLK Denim biker jacket. I guess I better start saving now, ha!<br />Nomadic D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06303665587576888183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-33516787146834837202013-09-18T19:16:08.504-04:002013-09-18T19:16:08.504-04:00I have a vintage RO-ish leather jacket that I wear...I have a vintage RO-ish leather jacket that I wear occasionally, it's great and has the same shawl type collar as the RO ones, but it's too small and doesn't fully close around my bust, lol. No biggie though, it looks cooler left open. I'm considering a motorcycle one by Acne and maybe something oversized. I do feel like I 'need' one more great leather jacket.koko // res pulchraehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06025950174615219356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-22390992622694443832013-09-18T02:19:46.127-04:002013-09-18T02:19:46.127-04:00I scored one of the many variations of the RO jack...I scored one of the many variations of the RO jacket on sale at luisaviaroma about a year and a half ago for not much more than the Veda jacket and I LOVE it, but I will say the RO tight sleeves limit what you can pair it with. That said mine has the big collar with taffeta lining which means it goes from t-shirt to evening gown. Totally a "piece".Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992528378145716798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-50189665584896068092013-09-17T08:40:08.296-04:002013-09-17T08:40:08.296-04:00Sigh... the one that got away. Last fall, I tried ...Sigh... the one that got away. Last fall, I tried on a leather jacket from Mango. So perfect, so soft, so RO-ish, and at a mere 200 dollars. I decided not to buy it, because as a student 200 dollars is a lot of money, and at the time I wasn't convinced that I'd be really using it enough. Alas, I haven't stopped thinking about it, and I am now convinced that it would have been a permanent stable in my wardrobe for many, many years. It's really the biggest sartorial regret of my life. Thank God, it's only clothes :) At least now I will now for sure to buy it the next time I find a similarly perfect leather jacket (if that ever happens).Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08905692787969202837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-47255643611069308242013-09-17T03:01:45.386-04:002013-09-17T03:01:45.386-04:00I'm still looking for my holy grail leather ja...I'm still looking for my holy grail leather jacket, but unlike you I don't think I will go for the RO look. You see, I am crazily infatuated with the warm and cuddly shearling-lined and winter-proof beauties from Burberry. Saving up for one is definitely on my must-do list.. Maybe next year? :)Majahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07003238334988052560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-56697904579731058932013-09-16T23:40:30.324-04:002013-09-16T23:40:30.324-04:00I completely agree.

While my jacket isn't as expensive as those picks (it's a Mackage one I got on sale), at the time I was still a student and it was one of the biggest splurges I've ever made. 5 years later and it's still my most-worn jacket. The leather has just gotten better over time and, fortunately, the knit trim has held up well (although for my next jacket, I wouldn't get one with any knit trim). It's one of those pieces that I love so much, I haven't even bothered ever thinking about a replacement for it. I can see myself getting so many more years out of it (plus it has a little concealed nylon hood that zips inside the collar-perfect for those times when you get caught in a Vancouver downpour!).Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677568729317848883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889754957463731831.post-20631363741290366912013-09-16T21:43:25.721-04:002013-09-16T21:43:25.721-04:00I went for the RO version earlier this year and it...I went for the RO version earlier this year and it was so worth it. It's flattering, it goes with everything, it instantly makes me feel cool, and in my climate it gets more wear than a coat. Hands down the best clothing purchase I've ever made.

One is an off-cream sleek version, which is quite nice except I think it would get dirty pretty quickly. The other is a black, shorter version from several years ago - so geared more for southern California weather and not east coast temperatures.
