Another motorcycle-type jacket.
This one is from sameunderneath and is made of organic cotton. I like the ribbed knit panels, which add a little more stretch to the jacket.

Motorcycle Jacket: Monrow Jacket
OK, so this isn’t fake leather, which actually makes me a little happy. It’s the same look I’ve been shopping for, by Monrow, in cotton.
It’s not organic cotton, but it’s not a animal product. Baby steps, right?

This is a faux jacket from Ann Taylor. Besides the fact that it’s faux, i have no idea what it’s made out of.
It is lined, and it’s got that great off-center zipper that I’m fond of.
