Leather jackets are back for fall, not that they ever went away completely. The look is cropped and motorcycle-ish with a definite “don’t mess with me” vibe. Here are a few examples.
This asymmetrically zipped cropped leather jacket by Vince features a snap closure at the notched collar, two-way zipper front, zippered pockets and cuffs. Measured from center back, it’s 18 inches long. The shell is 100% leather and the lining is 100% cotton, except for the sleeve lining, which is 100% acetate. $750.00
The military look is big in leather jackets this year, and there’s no better example than this military-inspired leather jacket from bebe.

Sleeve length is 25 inches from shoulder, and the center back length is 20 inches. $259.00 from bebe.com
The Truth & Pride Crop Leather Scooter Jacket has a bit more playful look to it. This richly hued supple leather jacket is cropped length with a fitted shape. The collection of zip pockets gives the look a bit of an edge, while trapunto (quilted effect) stitching on the collar, hem, and cuffs adds textural interest. $478.00 from Nordstrom.
