Women's Black Harrington Leather Jacket

Color is a deep even black with a bit of shine to it. It photographs a little flatter than it looks on. My wife was worried it would be too glossy in person and it is not, it sits somewhere sensible between matte and polished.

Leather has the proper smell when you open the bag rather than a chemical one. Soft to the touch, no plastic feel to it. It creased a bit from being folded and those dropped out in a day. This is the sort of thing that will look better as it ages.

Bought as a gift for my daughter finishing university and she messaged me a photo wearing it about nine minutes after it arrived. She is fussy about clothes so I was nervous. Apparently the fit is right and the collar is the part she likes. I will take the win. Packaging was tidy and it turned up two days ahead of the estimate.

Gave this to my girlfriend for Christmas and she has worn it more than anything else in her closet since. Zip runs smooth in both directions. She keeps telling people where it came from.

Cuffs button rather than snap, which I prefer because they do not pop open when I pull my hand through a bag strap. The collar lies down flat and stays down. Details like that decide whether I actually wear something or leave it hanging.

I am 5 foot 10 and slim and jackets are usually either too short in the arm or too wide in the body. This one is cut long enough in the sleeve and narrow enough through the middle that I did not have to compromise on either. Rare.

Fit is trim. If you want room for layers go up one, I stayed true to size and it works over a t shirt and not much else. Really soft leather though, no stiffness at all.

I tried a similar one in a store for roughly double and could not tell you what the extra money buys. The leather here is comparable, the stitching is straight, and the shape is arguably better on me. The only thing you give up is trying it on before you commit, and the sizing chart handled that part fine.
