Erin Women's Cropped Cognac Leather Jacket with Black Details

Wore it to a friends engagement dinner over a slip dress and three people asked where it was from. That basically never happens to me, so I am counting it as a win.

Bought this for my sister's birthday because she had been talking about wanting one for ages and I never know what to get her. She cried a little which was not the reaction I was expecting from a jacket. She has worn it to work every day since and sent me photos of it with about four different outfits. So, successful gift. The sizing chart was accurate which saved me from guessing wrong.

Been buying jackets for thirty years and I know when corners get cut. No corners cut here that I can see. Seams are clean inside, the collar is lined properly, the hardware is not cheap stamped stuff. Bought for my wife, she has not taken it off.

Ordering online made me nervous because the last brown jacket I bought arrived looking like a completely different color. This one matched what I saw, maybe a touch deeper. Customer service answered a sizing question before I ordered and was actually helpful instead of copy pasting a chart at me. Jacket arrived well packed. Fits like it should, feels soft, and the black at the collar adds something without being loud.

I am usually skeptical of ordering leather online because you cannot feel it first. Took the chance because of the return policy. The grain is fine and soft, nothing plastic about it, and it already has a little crease at the elbow from wear that I like.

Took me a while to get used to how light it is. My brain associates leather with weight so the first day it felt almost too easy, like I had forgotten to put a jacket on. Now that is the reason I reach for it. Errands, dinner, sitting outside at night, it covers all of it without being a production. Fit at the waist is slightly loose on me but the shape still works.

Second jacket from here. Same good leather smell out of the box, same clean stitching. Sleeves hit right at my wrist bone. Nothing to complain about really, and the zipper runs smooth from day one.
