Can we go all the way back to the original moto thread? I may have found a way to pass a rainy afternoon strolling down memory lane.

You sure can! I've actually been doing just that over the last few months when I was considering some of these jackets (thats where I found your posts & pics of 07 black!)

Here's the one that started it all:
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/why-oh-why-did-i-open-this-e-mail.517668/

And this was the very first Clubhouse thread - go to the last page for the link to the continuation thread & just keeping reading! Can't remember how many there are total - 8? Maybe 10!
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/bal-moto-jacket-pictures-chat-contd.592658/

Some of the pics no longer show up, but many do! The pics that H Addict used to share are just as droll-worthy today as they were 8 years ago!

Oooo! That looks great :drool:
Is that the shade of green they called "Pin"? It has the grey zips with no leather tab, right?
I had Tempete from that same year and remember how wonderfully silky soft that leather was!

I actually have no idea what the color is but sounds like it from what you posted above. The leather is silky soft!

Is that Pine? Sort of guessing based on how the zippers look. It looks great on you, so it seems you do need (I use the word loosely) to have some more!

I guess it is pine from the description that iluvmybags posted above. Thank you for the kind words - totally agree that I 'need" more colors in this fabulous jacket :)

The Real Real has some moto jackets at incredible prices. I just bought an 08 black for $600+ - it gets delivered tomorrow! Its also where I bought my black with black (NWT), quilted black and biscuit. If the jacket is full price, you can use the 20% discount code and pay less.

What size are you? What color(s) are you looking for?
May wanna check the YOUR AUCTION thread here on tPF ;)

I'm a 44. :) I really don't need another leather jacket though. :D :D :D I have 10+ (Balenciaga 2007, 2008 x 2, 2009, 2010) and don't wear them! (Need to lose weight!) Was just curious. :)

Wow! What a difference a few years makes -- this thread used to move so fast that if you missed a day, you'd have to scroll through pages of comments and pics to catch up. Now its like crickets! :hrmm:

Don't know if anyone is still reading or checking in or if I'm just talking to myself, but I've rekindled my love affair with Balenciaga moto jackets and just wanted to share. I guess it pays to be patient and wait it out. After wanting this jacket for years, I finally got my hands on one
May I introduce 2007 Biscuit!

Hi, everyone glad to see the thread in action again. I am still searching for a 08 or 09 navy.

08 Navy is the one I'm on the hunt for too
I actually had one years ago, but it was too small and I wound up reselling it w/o ever wearing it

I just received an 08 black and I have to say I was a little disappointed. I guess I was thinking the leather was going to be more like 08 chocolate, which is a lot like 07 black, but I actually think its more like 09 black w/black zips (which I bought a few months ago). For now I'm gonna hang on to it because I love the silver zips AND it fits differently than my black/black, but if I can find an 08 navy, I'll probably let it go
