+100! The season for them is woefully short around here. Like a week or two in early October, and then it's back in the closet you go, cute leather moto jacket!

This! Too cold in the winter. And they don't seem all that spring-like, so I mostly wear it in the autumn.

Huh. I wear mine a LOT. If it's lower than 60 but higher than freezing, it's just the right amount of jacket. When it gets on the chilly side, I layer a warm sweater underneath.

This is bizarre. I grew up in Missouri and I can only remember my father ever wearing a leather jacket in sub 0 temperatures. As an adult, I do the same. I have multiple leather jackets with various liners and weights that make that possible. I dislike all the synthetic material-coats that have been popular the past 10 years.

Thank you. 25 year olds in DC dress like 40 year olds anywhere else. Dull, dull, dull.
