Halston Faux Suede Draped Zip Motorcycle Jacket

Here is my submitted review:

 

" This jacket arrived yesterday and it is perfect, just perfect!
The inside is lined with satin so this feels very luxurious.
I had just about given up the idea of wearing a moto jacket and then decided to try this, no matter how much/little winter we have left.
Ordered in black and this looks like a very expensive suede. There is no imagining the cost of real suede softly pleated at one shoulder to cause the jacket to drape at neck.
It would be so out of range of my pocketbook. If this is hard to imagine take a look at the closeup in the listing.
This jacket looks great on my short frame either open or closed. The asymmetrical collar gives me multiple options -- I like them all.


When open, the jacket retains its shape -- gently curving in toward the middle, then gently, almost imperceptibly toward the bottom. It is nice to have a choice.
My "staple" wardrobe consists of multiples of J Crew 100% cotton turtlenecks... the jacket fits easily over these (tissue weight). But now I'm excited to branch out. Since retirement most of my deviations from this style have been giant "fails."

 

With the cut of this jacket in mind, I am now excited to try perhaps a camisole, etc. 


I live in Texas and we rarely  experience cold weather in the extreme. This faux suede is the perfect weight -- it is not "hot" (read this most synthetics) ...


A very heavy sweater would not work underneath, I don't think unless you are very small and wanted to order up a size.

The arms of the jacket fit my arms perfectly.  There is some "give" in the fabric. (Anything tight in the arms would not be comfortable and the upper arm area might be a problem fit for me under normal circumstances.


VERY PLEASED!

I purchased this for me in Sand and love it; also bought in black for my DD, who also loves it.

 

I wear this on warmer days and enjoy.

 

Glad you like it so much as well.
