I never thought I’d buy faux leather anything, much less a jacket, but am very pleased that I did. Whilst I own several high-quality lambskin leather jackets, this one is actually more practical as I can wear it during Spring/Fall rain showers without worrying about turning the garment inside out to protect the leather.Of course, it’s not as soft as lambskin, nor does it have that delicious aroma that only genuine top grain leather affords, but appearance-wise it fools absolutely everyone. I’ve had multiple ppl ask to touch it as they can’t believe it’s faux— even then, a few still weren’t fully convinced! The outer fabric does not feel/look like vinyl, rather it resembles lower-quality genuine cowhide leather. The garment is fully lined, incl. the sleeves, with a polyester fabric which glides over one’s clothing. All seams are turned and sewn—- no loose/floating selvage.Colour: The “classic black” colour I chose is that preferred neutral shade of black. No red, brown, or blue warm/cool overtones which can clash when pairing with other black garments or accessories.Sizing: Due to having broad shoulders, and long, slender arms I typically purchase men’s jackets, but surprisingly this style fits me perfectly. It does run a bit small, so whilst I’m 125 lbs., usually wearing Med.-Large shirts, and XL jackets, I opted to purchase this in XXL. Its just roomy enough to allow for the comfortable wearing of it fully-zipped, with mid-weight, long-sleeved tops and a muffler when temps are cooler, with sufficient allowance through the shoulders so as not to be tight; yet the look is still flattering, with a neat, trim, feminine silhouette—- not as tho I’ve borrowed my hubby’s boxy coat.Even with long arms, the sleeve length is perfect. I’ve not needed to open the forearm zippers, but the option is there should it ever be required..The weight of this garment is what I’d consider moderately-light, unlike less expensive leather jackets which can feel so heavy as to give one neck/shoulder aches after wearing for an hour or so.The zippers operate smoothly, and the side pockets comfortably accommodate my entire hands, or securely fit an iPhone Pro.The jacket arrives in a poly bag ready to wear, not compressed and hopelessly wrinkled as many others offered on Amazon.Overall, I’m incredibly impressed with this item. I’m also very satisfied with its value— a great looking daily wear jacket for less than $100.Though it is “biker-style”, the look isn’t so extreme, like that of a costume, that one might feel the need to dress in a style just to suit the jacket’s look.I can easily recommend this Levi’s Classic Biker Style Jacket to stylish women of any age seeking an affordable, quality alternative to costlier genuine leather.Thanks for reading,- CC, Amazon Prime Member-Reviewer
