Under $100 G by GUESS Black Jackets

Dexie Wharton — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:05:42 +0000

Genuine leather jackets are nice to have and invest in but sometimes it’s also ok to go faux leather or what the fashion industry call, “pleather”. They are more affordable and you’re also helping the eco lifestyle. G by GUESS have a few pleather black jackets that are stylish, functional and under $100 each.

This is a Broadway Hooded Jacket that’s only $99.50. It’s a combination of a comfortable hoodie and a jacket. It also features rib knit waist and hem. There are enough lined pockets to keep the hands warm and cozy.

This one is called Epiphany Jacket. Details include knit collar that zips all the way up, distressed pleather texture, 2 front slip pockets, 2 front zip pockets, and the rib knit waist and hel as well. This is also prized at $99.50.

And last but not the least and definitely my favorite among the three is this Choco Jacket. This bomber pleather jacket looks gorgeous if I say so myself. Details include front zipper with brass hardwares, pockets on the chest as well as the hips, plaid lining and the faux fur collar to keep the neck warm and cozy. The cuffs and hem are stretched knit to complete the look. This is also priced at $99.50.

I think from those 3 faux leather jackets, you’re bound to find one that suits your personality and mood.
