Leather biker jackets

Hello

Just wondered who will be buying one. I tried one on yesterday and was surprised that I liked it. But now I can't help thinking about Ian beale in eastenders and his! Lol :)

Interested in other opinions I'm female, early 30s

    I wish! Mine is a treasured possession but it's in the wardrobe as I can no longer zip it up past my boobies :o

    Forget Ian Beale, think rock! xxx

    I might just get mine out again and wear it open.

    Never too late to learn :p

    Seriously, though, I think fashion ones are fine. Anyone wearing a "Brando" or 70s/80s style jacket (def Ian Beale) looks a bit sad :(.

    I'm buying one this year and I'm 43 and female:) I'm looking for one that has something added, I like fur and I like heavy studding so it will probably have one of those, I think it helps if your in proportion for your height/weight (Ian Beale is not) and of course what you wear it with, I have maxi floaty skirts in mind, imho if you like how it looks buy it:)

    Oh, I cant even ride a push bike;)
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future
  • I wish I kept my biker leather jacket!

    GlowGirl have you seen the aviator jackets they have fur / shearling as I have round the collar I have a dark brown one but I noticed River Island are still selling the style I bought last winter....
  • I think they look sexy as anything! Timeless and fab with jeans or equally floaty dresses & skirts for an individual look. I don't think the Rock Chick look will ever truly die.
  • Leather Biker Jackets are protective to wear while riding on the bikes.I like Leather Blazers to wear because they are attractive and stylish in looks whcih we can wear for any function or ceremonies.
