Leather Jackets- IRO?

[jandals]

Hey guys!
Who do you think makes the best leather jacket and how much do you think is ok to pay? I'm looking at the IRO ashvilles at the moment- they look so soft and easy to move in, plus a great cropped fit so you don't look bulky. But they're so expensive
I've seen the skin coloured one on sale for $958 (AUD)... do you think that's too much? I've been keeping an eye out on ebay and the real real, vesitaire, and they are rarely listed. Should I get this IRO one, or can I do better/cheaper?

*PS- I also have the BLK DNM Leather Jacket 1 as a black, biker looking jacket which is awesome and I got it cheap off ebay, but it's kind of oversized.

i purchased it in ivory colour and returned immediately. I do have a Balenciaga (for winter) one and Rick Owens (for summer), IRO was very poor quality, sorry.

Hi,

Yeah, I did the same lol. I was very surprised at the poor quality. It's similar to my Muuba which costs a loooot less :/

For quality, you can forget IRO. I have a balanciaga and a Rick Owen. I always want to add an Acne but never do as I live in subtropical.

If you don't want to go ultra premium, then I recommend Rag & Bone, esp on sale from their site directly or retail outlets like nmlc or off5th. They make diff styles every year. I own one in lamb, and another in calf. They are well made and last forever.

Saint Laurent or Balenciaga, 100%. You get what you pay for. My first one is 10 years old and still the most stylish thing I own.
