Comments about Textured Suede Jacket

I've waited for this jacket to go on sale and it finally did! It's not your typical leather jacket, it is very stiff . I was on the fence but decided that it is unique yet classic and will last a lifetime.

I've had my eye on this jacket for months. I knew it was going to be an investment piece, but also knew it was going to be 1000% worth it. I stopped in the store any chance I could to try it on. The moment I entered the aisle where it was hanging I could smell the beautiful suede. This past week I stopped in and the phenomenal store manager (STL West County Mall$) asked if I was looking for anything in particular, and I mentioned the jacket. She was so excited to tell me it was on sale and she marched right to the rack and pulled my size. I pulled the trigger and purchased the jacket that day. I know it's a timeless piece that will last for decades. I cannot wait for fall to wear this amazing jacket. Thank you again to the store manager that day. I left with a new jacket and a new friend.

I LOVE this coat so much! My ONE issue is that there are no interior pockets. Hear me out: the exterior pockets are fine but inside it would take like, two lines of stitching to make them into interior pockets! For the price I don't think it's too much to ask, and one of the stitches holding the pocket to the interior came out day one :( I still love the jacket but expected that it would hold up day one and that the pockets were interior as well.

I fell in love with this jacket immediately upon seeing it online, but told myself there was no world where a jacket could ever be worth this much money. However, over several weeks I could not stop thinking about it and happened to be traveling to a city that had a banana republic with this jacket in stock. The second I picked it up I knew I would be taking it home. It is absolutely gorgeous. Each of these jackets will be unique due to the variations in the leather. It is definitely not your standard soft suede, it is very rough and rugged, but it gives it an almost vintage finish. The smell of the leather is amazing, I'm hoping it never fades. This jacket really has the original banana republic vibe, which is what I look for when I shop for anything banana republic. I did get a discount, luckily, as a new card holder, but probably would still have taken this home even if I didn't.

Terrible scratchy stiff material- definitely not worth the price

This is beyond a beautiful jacket, well made with raw suede which gives it a slightly grainy and textured fell and look. It's pretty rugged and looks like it will hold up over time and age well. I took a size down to an XS when trying it in the store and it fit very well on my 5"1 stature. Arm length looked good and it felt proportionate and just slightly oversized which is the look. The style is currently on trend with a very slight flare at the bottom of the jacket. Falls to my waist so not really cropped on me but I can live with that. However I won't be purchasing this jacket in the current Friends and Family promotion because it is NOT included. C'mon BR, these promotions are not really attractive to BR card holders even with the recent membership changes or upgrades. There used to be a time when card holders got to purchase items during promotion periods with very few limits. Please bring that back at least once a year and I won't be questioning my continued membership as a card holder. One star for the exorbitant price (over $700 - sure the jacket is nice but not at that price at BR!) and a lack of real benefits for BR card holders!
