The Affordable Jacket Search Begins

As Fall approaches, I find myself in desperate need of a cute new jacket. While I am totally in love with the Muubaa jackets Samantha posted a while back, I suppose I should at least see what else is out there- and if I can get away with paying less than Muuba’s $300 to $400 . I’m starting my jacket search with a price cap- under $250. The first qualifier for the (kinda) affordable super-cute jacket goes to this raw cut leather cropped jacket from Bebe, squeaking in at $249.

Maybe you could feature one that wasn’t sold out!

If I had money like that to spend on a jacket, I would totally buy this one here:

I love the wool/leather combo and the contour studding is gorgeous. Good luck on your search!

yah i second checking out Victoria’s Secret. I was going to recommend this rick owens esque one but someone already has that covered.
and BCBG has a lot of really edgy/cool jackets this season.wait for their sales or promos, then stuff goes, 30%, 50% even 70% off. this one is pretty cool: http://www.bcbg.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3711641&cp=2769127.2769074&view=all&clickid=cat_leftnav_txt&parentPage=family

Have you looked at the Dresden washed leather jacket by All Saints? It reminds me a lot of the one you posted- very Rick Owens. I bought one on ebay last year for under $200 (its a few seasons old), and there’s one on ebay now if you want to take a look:

I’m afraid to spend that much money on a jacket from Victoria’s Secret because everything I buy from there is so crappy and falls apart. I saw the All saints dresden one but it doesn’t have the portrait collar like I like. Oh well. The BCBG one is nice but it doesn’t look like it’s actually warm.

I saw one on shopbop that looked like it would be right if styled differently… i think the collar may be too cute:

this moto one i think has just the right amount of biker chic:

i’ve always liked this one from Sumie Tachibana, but I do not know what her prices are like… Hmm.

It’s the first slide in the “Modern Nomad” collection. It’s a dark green hooded one.

Ok, this one depending on how you wear it, could be way too cyber-gothy, however, done right could look just fantabulous:

also note $95!!!!

Wow….I *MUST* have that Otaka jacket………
To continue in that cybergoth-potential vein, I’ll list another Cryoflesh coat that I’m jonesing for as well:

So much awesomeness to be bought, and so little money.
Sigh.

the thing i like about leather jacket is that they give you the impression that you are a bad ass guy “
