Hi Bal jacket lovers… I have two Moto jackets and they’re both size 34. I’m thinking about purchasing a 36 but won’t be able to try it on. Can anyone give me some idea of how much bigger a 36 is than a 34? And is there a source that can give me dimensions on these jackets? I guess I should just go to balenciaga.com
Thank you for any help 💐

There's not a heck of a lot of difference going up or down one size.
You may actually find you like the 36 better than the 34. If you can't zip your 34, there's a possibility you might be able to zip a 36
Most moto jacket owners find at least 3 sizes that fit comfortably -- one thats perfect, one with room they can zip and one thats more fitted

That makes perfect sense. And no, I can’t zip up a 34 but it has a nice look on me. Good to know that most jacket owners mess around with sizes like this. Thank you so much.❌⭕️ This REALLY helps.

I gifted my black jacket that was a bit tight on me to my daughter and she loves it. She just noticed something I missed: the zipper pulls/fringes are split. Any idea what glue we could use to glue them back together? Any suggestion is appreciated. Thank you!

Longtime, no see! Hope you’re doing well!:hugs:

The tassels on the moto jackets aren’t as thin/delicate as the tassels on the bags. I’ve actually used Elmers Glue when the’ve separated without issue. If you didn’t want to go that route, there’s leather glue you can use. While I haven’t used this on tassels, I have used this on a leather bag


There’s also a few threads on the best options for gluing tassels in the Maintenance form

How to glue split tassels

Ok I got my first bbag, my black city, today. While I love her I can't for the life of me figure out which tassels go where! :blink: Do the 3 long tassels go on the double zippers on top and one on the outside small zipper pocket? I notice I have two small tassels - are those supposed to...

Best Glue for Split Tassels??

I have just experienced my first split tassel. Actually, it's just a partial split, but I want to fix it while it is small. I've tried fabric adhesive...so much for flexible. I did a test on a strand of fabric ribbon....resulted in a straight stiff piece of ribbon. No way would I put that on...

Thank you so very much for your response! We’ll look into the leather glue for sure.

You are so kind to ask about me/us. 💝 We’re still struggling after my husband’s untimely passing. The end of April will mark one year since the tragedy, and I still feel like it was yesterday. Hard times.

I’m hoping someone can help me. I don’t see a color by year in the reference thread for Moto jackets. I know that 2008 gray is the color I’m looking for. I found what looks like 2008 in a listing and I put an offer and they accepted it. I am eternally grateful to @protein_ for sending the link! Then I scroll down and saw they said it was a 2007 and I think that was a mistake so today I was looking on PF to see if 2007 made a gray. Can anyone tell me if there was a light gray 2007 jacket that looked like the 2008 jacket? Hoping to get back to the seller before they ship it from Japan.

Thanks again🙏

The black zipper tape taupe-ish grey is the 08. Did the seller show you a pic of the label with year code on it? IIRC they only released Biscuit (a brown) and washed out/charcoal black in 07.

Gazoo!! Thank you for the response so quickly.
Yes, the jacket has black zipper tape. The pick of the label is blurry. So I guess this is 08!
I have 07 biscuit. Didn’t realize they only had 2 colors in 07. The pic above looks like 08, yes?

Your 08 black looks fantastic in the want to sell thread. I wish I didn’t have a black already. I would get that in two seconds. The crinkling looks divine.

@gazoo Oh how I wish I had spotted this beauty! I recently got the 07' Black with the faded look recently but would have loved a 08' jet black one!! ooof...

What size are you?
It looks like someone bought this and has returned it
I had it on my Watch List and noticed it reappeared as COMING SOON, which is what that usually means
