After seeing this piece and reading the reviews, I decided to give it a go! So HAPPY I did. The company followed up with measurement requests and confirmed again after receipt. When I received the jacket, I was THRILLED. So much so I wore it around the house with my pajama bottoms. It did need a little pressing, which I did by laying a T-shirt over it with a temp-sensitive iron. Worked like a charm. The fit, the softness, the service, and price all made this my new favorite piece!!! Can’t wait to debut it." —The Style Bits

15. An edgy Blanc Noir quilted leather and mesh moto jacket that'll undoubtedly win the heart of anyone who adores contrasting fabrics and textures.
Promising review: "I love my jacket without reservation. There’s nothing not to like! It’s a fall weather jacket with quilted leather sections and stretchy mesh fabric that seem to modify my temperature enough so I don’t take it off during the warmer hours of the day. It’s unique (which I love) so EVERYONE doesn’t have one, and it’s genuine leather. It’s edgy, so if you don’t want attention this jacket isn’t for you. Otherwise it’s true to size but does stretch for heavier garments so it can be layered. It returns to size right away, and the underarms haven’t beaded up. I’ve worn it every day since I bought it. I am very happy." —Alithia T.

Also important to note: Measure yourself, read the size chart, and order accordingly. I could not be happier. Excellent quality item that should last a lifetime." —kd

18. An STS Ranchwear black leather jacket crafted with zip cuffs, a stylish asymmetric-front zipper closure, and swoonworthy fringe accents just begging to be paired with some comfy jeans and cowboy boots.
Promising review: "This is the best jacket ever! You can’t go wrong with STS, but dang they outdid themselves. The quality is amazing, and the fringe is so fun and edgy! It is meant to be a fitted jacket. I normally wear a medium but sized up to a large so I can wear layers under it and have a looser more casual feel. Love this jacket and am so glad I bought it. Would highly recommend." —MountainMama

The leaves are sewn on to a black mesh-like fabric, so I am more comfortable wearing a cami or light shirt under it since I am not sure how much would show through the mesh. It is beautiful and stunning." —Carolyn G.

It fits well, and I even have some space if I want to wear a sweater underneath. The jacket is beautifully made and is easily one of the most attractive pieces of clothing I own. I love this leather jacket so much. If you are looking for a real leather jacket for a reasonable price I recommend this one." —Nicole

31. A White House Black Market leather motorcycle jacket created with ruffle details and slightly puffed shoulders you can count on to make a statement.
Promising review: "This leather jacket is nice overall. Five stars for packaging! It came very nicely packaged. I give 5 stars for being true to size. The overall fit and feel of the jacket is a relaxed fit, and that's why you can wear a thin sweater under this. The ruffles on the shoulder gives the shoulders an overall square look. Also, the cut of the sleeves are more wide than narrow and the sleeves are puffed out a little bit at the top of the sleeves. When you wear this jacket, the jacket looks somewhat oversized on you because of the ruffles on the shoulders and because of the wide cut of the sleeves. Overall, this is a nice leather jacket. The leather is super soft." —Parisgirl23
Get it from White House Black Market for $499 (available in sizes XXS–XL).
