I’ve been searching for a moto jacket for quite some time now. I was looking for a jacket that had detailing but wasn’t too over the top, and I didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg for my first moto as I wanted to try out the style before getting in over my head with a $500+ jacket. Trying to stay at a decent price point while still wanting a quality jacket was a bit of a challenge. But after a little research and scouring the internet, I finally found one that meets all of my requirements!
Let me introduce you to THE one! This Lookbook Store jacket is my new favorite. I wore it twice this weekend, and I don’t plan to stop wearing it anytime soon. The detailing is amazing. I love the half-zip sleeves and the padding on the arms and shoulders. The fit is great. Although it did take a bit of work to find the right size. I ordered a small but had to return it for a medium. The small didn’t fit very well over sweaters, which is the look I wanted. You’ll notice that the size medium fits perfectly over this thick(ish) sweater without looking bunched up or too small. And just as a reference, I wore it with a thin, white t-shirt on Friday and it wasn’t oversized at all. Basically it fits perfectly for layering over any top, and it’s still slim enough to layer under a heavier coat when the time comes.
One caveat – Orders from Lookbook Store tend to take around 7-10 business days to be delivered. But if there’s any consolation, their customer service is outstanding if you have any issues or questions along the way. When I had to return my jacket, I emailed them a copy of my shipping label, and they immediately shipped the correct size, which cut down on the wait time by a lot!
One other tip! I had my eye on this jacket for a while, and I saw it go on sale at random times quite frequently. When I finally decided to bite the bullet on it, I waited until it went on sale again to snatch it up. So if you’re thinking of purchasing it, put it in your cart and check on it every couple of days. If you have any questions, definitely let me know!
Your pictures are gorgeous! Who takes them??? Love the jacket! XO -Anna

Haha I’ll be sure to tell him!
Hello, I recently found your post on Instagram, anyway I purchased this exact jacket in both the small ( us 4 ) and medium ( us 6 ) at 5’8″ 135 lbs and found them both incredibly small. I had to pay $67 to ship them back which was a huge burn but lookbook store split shipping back and had excellent customer service so I wouldn’t mind re purchasing but I can’t seem to get the sizing right! Any advice?? Thanks so much!
Hi Michelle – Your experience is similar to mine. I was bummed about having to pay for shipping to return the item, but when I emailed customer service, they did recommend the cheapest possible way to ship the item back (mine cost about $20 to ship back). Their customer service was great on the back end. As for sizing, I usually wear a small in most things. For reference, I am 5’4″ and roughly 120lbs. I ordered the small and it was snug through the back and didn’t fit over even my thin sweaters. I have the medium now, and it fits great! It fits nicely over t-shirts as well as most of my sweaters. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!
And thanks so much for following along!

Thank you so much for getting back to me. Very helpful! I’m gonna go with a large, fingers crossed! Happy holidays!
No problem! I hope that one works out! Happy holidays to you as well!
Hey Ashlee, sorry to keep on the jacket subject but I am bound and determined to get it! Anyway what size US did you order? I ordered the US4 and US6 which say medium and large now that I’m looking. So I’m wondering if I actually need the US 8 which is XL according to their site. I basically know I need one up from you:) Thanks so much!!!
Hi Michelle! No worries! I have the US4. I definitely think it runs small!
