Rack To Reality: Target “Leather” Jackets

Mossimo/Xhilaration Motorcycle Jackets at Target: $30-$34.99

I love a great motorcycle jacket anytime of the year, but especially at this time of year! They can transition from day to night and they work no matter what your style!

I just checked out Target’s large selection of moto jackets and I was not disappointed…and you won’t be either.  This is the one that lured me in–simply because this color is so hard to find at a budget friendly pricepoint and when I saw it, it just looked so expensive!

Fit: All of the jackets fit very true to size. Motorcycle jackets do tend to come cropped and that might be the only thing I didn’t love about this jacket.  I’m taller, so it hit a little shorter than I would have liked –right above my waist–but that shrunken look is very in so I’m going to go with it!

Shopper’s Notes: pLeather can look really cheap, but the faux leather used for these jackets loos and feels really expensive!

The one thing I do want to advise is that you skip the “crinkled” options. These are meant to look worn in and vintage-y but IMO they just look rather cheap (in the bad way!).  Stick with the cleaner options like the one pictured above for a more luxurious look!

BTW: If I had a budget for two, this one would be my 2nd choice! Very Rick Owens, minus the $3000 price tag!

I want one! What size did you get? I am pretty small, but worried about waht size to get since my chest is big(er).

These are so cute. I’m always leery about cheap looking pleather jackets, but this one’s clearly a winner. I need to head to Target right…now!

Got mine! I bought a black moto jacket – also pleather – at Target about three or four years ago and everyone thinks it is real. It has worn very well and I’ve always wanted a brown one too – now I have one. Thanks so much for alerting me to this deal!

I just knew I saw this on your site. I had to search and go back a few pages! This exact jacket was $2.50 at a local discount store. Needless to say, I picked one up for my daughter, my four nieces, a cousin, and a blogger who e-mailed me that she desperately wanted to take advantage of the deal. She was on the west coast (I’m east), so with shipping, I got it to her for $13.00 total- still a great deal!
Thanks for your great style advice!!
