Mackage Leather Jacket Review

My birthday is coming up and I splurged on a Mackage Leather jacket. I thought it would be worthwhile to share my experience and help you determine if a Mackage Leather Jacket is worth the money.

Mackage Leather Jacket Review:

I picked up this particular Mackage Leather jacket from Aritzia. I was in there looking to try on some camel wrap coats which were not in stock yet. The colour of the Mackage Rumer jacket caught my eye as did the quality of the leather.

I didn’t try the jacket on then and there. I was shopping with my kids and we were past the time of agreeable shopping. But I couldn’t stop thinking about the jacket when I got home. I tracked down the jacket online but they were out of my size. Aritiza customer service came to my rescue and tracked down the jacket in one of their stores out west in my size and shipped it out.

First of all the merlot colour is so unique. The leather is so soft. When I first put the jacket on I felt like it was a bit snug and constricting. I was almost considering returning it but the more I wore the jacket the more it gave and relaxed. This is the thing to remember about leather jackets they do stretch.

The other major thing I noticed when I first tried the jacket it on that it was heavier than other leather jackets I owned. It felt more substantial. I instantly compared it to my grey suede jacket from Mango and the Mackage jacket is definitely thicker.

There is also more detail. More snaps and the leather belt. I will admit that the leather belt is a bit awkward. The belt buckle is heavy and pulls the belt down so you have to be careful you don’t lose the belt.

Outfit details: Mackage Leather jacket Aritzia (other options here and here), blouse Banana Republic (old this is similar), forest green pants JCREW (old similar style), Alexander Wang Rocco bag.

I have already gotten compliments on this Mackage Leather jacket and it is so soft. Yes this is an investment jacket but oooooooh she is worth it.

I too have this jacket in Merlot and I love it! The color is indeed unique and it's a high quality jacket :) Glad to see you're enjoying your jacket too! This color sold out really quick at Aritzia. If there's anything I've learned from shopping, its 'don't wait if you see something you like!'

I totally agree Jen, snap it up while you can. If it is something you love your cost per wear will be worth it :)

mindy!

Hi Mindy,

I just did it last weekend. I am planning a post about it but just haven't there yet as the move to the new URL is still a bit of a work in process! Everytime I think I am done I find more things to update. I will explain the name change in an upcoming post for sure. Thanks for following along Mindy :)
