Take a look at this:

Maybe something a bit more classic, but still feminine with some style and all...

my two cents...

gifirob: That's horrible IMO

Mojo1975: I think I'm in love lol

Hmmm. Not sure I like either one (jackets)

 

[andy richards]

Well gfirob, both me and my wife don't like this one... Though it is a daring jacket, possibly of good quality also.
Mojo, I like this one, but the wife prefers black...

I like the first one but I wouldn't purchase it without wife approval.

First one has a very European look to it.

In all honesty I'd stay away from the first one. I vote for something in the lines of the one posted by Mojo.
(You'll thank me later... )

Well, I thought it was a hoot because I don't know of another example of the basic leather motorcycle jacket form being stretched so far beyond any recognition. I mean, we have all seen some pretty extreme examples, but the only thing that actually connects this to a motorcycle jacket in any design sense, is the picture of the guy on a motorcycle on the label. I think I would stick with Amelia Earhart's jacket rather than this French number.

Wearing that French number if you're my lass? Yep. That's a paddlin'. Looks mid nineties. Young urban nightclub chic stuff.

Now a young maid squeezed into a ladies cafe is a sight I'll linger on. Thank God cafes are meant to be tight. They jus' look better that way...!

I thought you wanted to trade a leather jacket for my wife. I was so excited for a minute!!

 

[Mojo1975]

Here you go guys...but in black! Super good looking 1960s women's cafe' racer! We really can't get these in vintage anymore so we're just remaking them...yet, this one pictured below is an original! The tan one about 11 posts back was an original 1960s cafe' racer too.

Burberry (To Hide Your Wife?)

OK, this isn't vintage, but I am nonetheless amazed by this specimen:



The collar covers half the jacket! I suppose it would cover the entire face if zipped up.

By the way, this beauty may be yours (or your wife's), for only $2,999.00.
