Women's Leather Jackets & CoatsI love leather don't you? Trouble is, there seems to be a lot of trashy stuff out there and you have to be careful to pick and choose carefully. Coincidentally, leather is hard to take care of properly as well so it has two strikes against it from the start. Nevertheless, it is stunning when it's done right. I'm on the hunt for a nice jacket in leather with a bit of sass to it. Think I'll hop on to Bloomingdale's site and see if they have anything to interest me. Alright, here we are at Bloomingdale's and in women's apparel, I search for jackets and bingo there 's a nice jacket to pull up. They call it an Identify Leather Swing Coat. What's I "Identify" when it's at home, anyway? Don't know but this looks really smart. Double breasted swing jacket with side tab detail. Large button closure. Their catalog Item Number: 81983 in Hickory, Lamb leather. Should be good as I'm a Misses Medium I think. I can check that at the store when I go. Price is $385 which should be fine with you know who (he's mostly pretty agreeable, most of the time!)
Alright, let's keep checking here. Yup, here's another possibility and, in fact, maybe this is a bit more me. Want to come with me and we can try a whole lot of stuff on? Sorry, back to the task at hand! This jacket is Marc NY by Andrew Marc Women's Raccoon Collar Leather Jacket. It has a zip front, double strap cuff with detachable Finnish raccoon collar. Side zip pockets. Bloomingdale's item # 81990. They show it in cocoa but I'd like to see it in black. I'll call the store and see if they have it on hand in black or they can probably get it quickly. How much? Details, Darling, details! $495. Not going to break the bank for heaven's sake! Hang on there's a couple more here. There's a nice little Motorcycle Jacket by Michael Kors. Bloomie's item # 81991 and this ones on sale, marked down from $575 to $459.99. That bears checking out at the store, have to see how that looks on me. OK, last one for now. Wow, is this one gorgeous on the model? Can I get away with this? Maybe, I can and I'm sure going to see. The coat is a 7/8 length and is a pewter Wako Belted Metallic Coat with Fox Collar, leather trimmed with detachable dyed frost fox collar (great idea!). Detachable leather belt, leather detail on sleeves and pocket flaps. Side pockets. Decorated button front closure. Item Number: 82040 No it's not really a leather coat but it's used a lot on it. Cost is $1,099 (hmm, we'll see if it works and then we'll strategize!) |
