I have a quite expensive real leather biker type jacket in black (of course). I put it away about 5 yrs. ago thinking I was too old to pull it off. Now I'm thinking, "what the heck" and it never gets "winter enough" for my puffer coats.

 

Anyone in their 70's still wear a black leather "Sandy in GREASE" jacket?

I say go for it.  Based on your posts you're not an "old lady."  You are very young at heart.

Take it out and dust it off. You are definitely not too old.  Enjoy

No! You! Are! Not! Too! Old!! 

 

Since it has been five years, wear it a couple times and if you feel uncomfortable in it pass it along.  I think you'll look great!

You mean like this?

 

 

Lauren Ralph Lauren - Plus Size Leather Moto Jacket

 

 This is my "newest."  I have brown, tan, fringe ... you name it ... can't wait for the cooler weather. 

 

I don't think anyone looks at me and thinks "she's too old to be wearing that."   And if they do ... well,  I don't care!

You are never too old to wear what you like and what you feel like wearing.  Especially if you style it a certain way.

 

I buy and wear the same kind of things I wore 30 years ago, and I don't think they're inappropriate.  Others might not agree, but who are they to dictate what I wear?  Life's too short.

 

Remember the adage, "forget your age and live your life".  I think we all think about our age too much, and we impose limitations on ourselves that we never should impose.

Leather biker/moto jackets are classics, they never go out of style and have no age attached to them. Anyone of any age can wear them anywhere and anytime...timeless pieces to have in a closet forever.
