Ok - so here it is - the much anticipated (by a number of magazines) and raved about (by editors) Long Line Leather Biker Jacket at Whistles. At £350 smackers you can only get it in a UK size 10 online at the moment and the said magazines are predicting it will be a sell out.
Maybe it will be - but i'm at a loss. To me this is the most unflattering cut I've EVER seen for a biker jacket. Ok - so it's different - and I'm sure Agyness Deyn and/or Alexa Chung will be snapped pulling it off in some cool knobbly knee waif like manner - but to my eye it even makes the invisible mannequin in this picture look like it's had a big Christmas dinner and is struggling with gas.
Done up it looks really awkward - it would drown a petite skinny minnie and bulk up an average size 12 or over. Worn open it could look ok, but done up I just don't get it... it's like the biker jacket for self conscious, try-hard, wanna be 'hip-chicks' (cringe) that want to cover their bums. ZZ Top would not approve.
So no - for me this really really does NOT work.... I love you Whistles but this is £350 too far.
Watch this space for future pics of anyone i see wearing this and proving me wrong...:)

Thanks for the sweet commwent. W is sooooo worth buying, it's my favourite magazine, such great styling and the articles are written so well, but I wouldn't bother with a subscription ($100 is a lot for a year) you can buy W from good WH Smith stores, Borders, and really good newsagents and the UK price for each issue is £4.50 which isn't too bad.
And if you still can't find it you could ask your local newsagent to order it in for you - mine gets loads of stuff in for me.
Also I agree, this jacket is really fugly.
I do not like it either :S
ew I hate that picture - but I saw it live, or whatever, it in the store the other day, I really liked it.
