Quince 100% leather motorcycle jacket

Why not gift your cool mom a new leather jacket?

“I really wanted a cool moto jacket for fall to look great with everything from dresses to leggings,” CBS Essentials writer Leah Groth says. “I am quite picky when it comes to leather, but Quince is famous for using high-quality materials, like leather, cashmere and linen, and selling expensive-looking pieces for a fraction of the price of their competitors. This moto jacket seemed too good to be true. A stylish 100% leather jacket for $150? However, as soon as I tried it on, I knew it was the one. The leather is buttery and soft and the cut is incredibly comfortable. I showed it to my husband and he couldn’t believe that it didn’t cost three times as much. I love it so much that I am ordering it in the cognac color as well.”
