For longer, more 'mature' versions of this style of coat, check out the Jil Sander fall 2012 collection.

Motorcycle Jacketsss

WOW Marc Jacobs + uncredited Vuitton team really know how to notice what hasn't been done in recent memory & then do it & do it different! REALLY 'neat' concept: The classic Motorcycle jacket done not only in croc-embossed leather, but matte instead of the classic leathery sheen + icy pastels! Who woulda thunk? I usually never praise specific high-fashion designers, mainly because I know most of them are just figureheads, but everything Jacobs gets involved in is consistently interesting, cool, & smart so why not?

from the Louis Vuitton Spring 2012 Collection:

& I forgot to mention the feathered tweed version....

In contrast to the delicate versions above, here're some wilder ones, below: Burberry - Spring 2011
