VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE LEATHER JACKET

Like I mentioned above, we saw lots of great leather jackets in Europe, and we would love to hear from you as to what your pick is for Fall 2014. Please see the sketches below with a brief description, and vote for your favorite. The poll ends on Tuesday, November 5^th, at 11:59 PM ET.

 DESIGN A:

We saw lots of ‘moto’ style jackets both here and in Europe, and we thought it was time to bring one to you. This style would feature an asymmetrical zipper that looks just as good closed as it does open. The lined jacket would feature nice princess line seaming for great shape detail, notch collar, and welt pockets. You could wear this jacket both as a sportswear piece with your favorite outfit or as an outerwear piece on a cool fall day.

DESIGN B:

This is more of a classic blazer style that  will create a beautiful feminine shape due to the multiple seaming detail. This lined jacket would have a notch collar and functional flap pockets. This is the perfect jacket to dress up or down for your busy lifestyle.

DESIGN C:

This style is another version of the ‘moto’ jacket, but this one would have Sherpa trim on the collar. It features nice princess line shaping, asymmetrical hidden zipper front closure, zipper pockets, and zipper sleeve detail as well as multi-stitched banding along the collar and CF. This is a great fall outerwear piece for when the weather starts to cool down.
