    Promising review: "This jacket is my child. I've had this leather jacket for a year now, and believe me when I say I wear it literally every day that it's below 75 degrees. It's almost cropped and is a little higher in the back. The bottom of the sleeves get so soft over time that I literally just touch them even when I'm not wearing the jacket.

    Another promising review: "The jacket arrived today, and I am incredibly impressed. Excellent quality leather without an overwhelming smell. I had to buy and return a number of leather jackets before finding this one (because of poor quality, sizing, etc.), so I would advise you to save yourself some time and purchase this one without worry." —CP

    Promising review: "This supple leather jacket exceeded my expectations. I ordered it with the hope it was 'the one' I'd been looking for. It is and then some! The lightweight buttery leather jacket hangs perfectly. It's slightly tailored and hits just above the waist. The collar can be worn up or folded down for two separate looks. I absolutely love it!

    Promising review: "I can't say enough good things about this jacket. I liked it when I saw it online but the pictures didn't do justice for the actual item.

    Three images of models wearing gray, black, and brown jackets
    Neiman Marcus

    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 seems 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.

    Get it from Neiman Marcus for $299 (available in sizes XS–L and two colors).

    18. cropped J.Crew black leather jacket requiring no introduction. This trendy number showcases a cozy quilted design and elegant gold button details totally worth drooling over.

    Promising review: "When I saw this in store I had to try it on straight away. I fell in love with it immediately! It is so soft and well made. It fit true to size.

    Three images of red, white, and black jackets
    Pinto Ranch

    Promising review: "The jacket is beautiful. So beautiful that I bought a second one in a different color. It is designed to be form fitting, so I bought an M when I normally wear an S. 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.

    Get it from Pinto Ranch for $198 (available in sizes XS–XL and three colors).

    20. An Urban Outfitters vintage leather flight jacket sourced through the brand's "Urban Renewal" program. UO has a limited supply of similar designs, which means each one is a truly unique vintage piece given new life (thanks to you)!

    Two images of models wearing brown and black jackets
    Urban Outfitters

    Note: Due to the nature of this jacket being preowned and vintage, the exact style and condition will vary.

    Promising review: "It's perfectly super oversized and exactly what I wanted! The style that I received is like a 'Members Only' jacket with a crinkled leather texture (as opposed to wrinkled leather that will smooth out). It also appears to be deadstock vs. used or preowned... no labels or tags inside. It's lightweight and so comfy to wear in SoCal weather." —tily2u

    Get it from Urban Outfitters for $149 (available in sizes S–L and two colors).

    21. A durable Orvis brown leather jacket showcasing a faded patina plus a blanket-pattern lining so cozy you'll be asking all your friends to feel how soft it is.

    Orvis

    Promising review: "I took a chance ordering this jacket online. Would I like the color? Could I get it zipped up over my hips? Would the sleeves be too long? Well, I needn't have worried. The Latitude Leather Jacket turned out to be everything I had hoped for. The color is gorgeous. I could, indeed, get it zipped over my hips (yay!). The sleeves are the perfect length. The style overall is just what I wanted. There are no epaulets or extra hardware to clutter up the look. It has two slip pockets that I can comfortably slide my hands into. I'm so glad that I took the chance on buying this jacket. I know I'll be wearing it for years." —mylastcat

    Get it from Orvis for $398 (available in sizes XS–XL).

    22. black leather jacket crafted with zip cuffs, a stylish asymmetric-front zipper closure, and swoonworthy fringe accents that would look great paired with some comfy jeans and cowboy boots.

    Boot Barn

    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

    Get it from Boot Barn for $289.99 (available in sizes XS–XL).

    Amazon

    Promising review: "Gorgeous, perfect, awesome jacket. It looks and fits exactly as pictured; the lambskin leather is buttery soft and smells soooo good. The lining is throughout, and the fabric detailing along the bottom seam of the sleeves gives it stretch to fit my muscular upper arms nicely. Ordering based on my exact body measurements gave me just the right fit. Overall, I love this jacket, and can't wait till it's cool enough here to wear this out. This jacket is very well made and will likely last a lifetime." —Island Girl

    Two images showing both styles of black jackets

    Promising review: "WOW! After seeing the high-end designer version of this jacket, I went bananas for it. But I couldn’t justify the price for what is — truly speaking, a novelty piece. 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

    Promising review: "I don't do Amazon reviews often, but I had to for this. It's really good quality and the thickness it what you'd expect with a leather jacket. It's also super cute and fashionable and I'm sure it'll keep me warm for most of the Denver, CO winter, especially since I can put thicker clothing beneath it. For later summer into fall and early winter with something warmer underneath, this jacket should treat you well!" —samantha

    Note: Some reviewers suggest ordering a size up.

    Promising review: "I love this jacket. You can definitely tell the quality difference with this jacket compared to cheaper ones – and the best part is the pockets actually WORK! Three decent-sized pockets is a huge plus. I love the zipper on the wrists of this jacket. You can unzip for a looser fit or zip them up for a tighter fit. Also, the belt has a snap button on the jacket so it stays in place, but you can also remove it if you need to. The jacket has these features all over from the flap part on the front and the loops on the shoulder. Honestly, buy this. You for sure get what you pay for and I plan to buy another jacket in a different color soon!" —Carr224

    Promising review: "I have tried on and owned several moto jackets and have never been so pleased with one. It’s so much thinner than all the other bulky ones so you can actually get the look you want, pushing up the sleeves is no problem. It feels like it was literally made for me! It also feels so soft like real leather. I’m going to purchase in two more colors as well!!!" —Rebecca R.
