I wanted a faux leather jacket that looked more thrifted or like real leather, not the shiny fake plastic look. This jacket is so chic and stylish, it doesn't look fake to me. Really good quality. It's kind of heavy, but I definitely still have to layer for cold weather. I'm 5'9, 147lbs, and got an XL for an oversized look, it looks slightly larger than the one the model is wearing. The L on me would have fit probably identical to the model's look.
