Abercrombie Vegan Leather Jacket | Petite Review

Abercrombie Petite Leather Jacket in Burgundy Review

A fitted leather jacket is so chic, and a closet staple in my opinion, and I’ve never had one. Being petite and slim, and having short arms, finding a leather jacket that fits off the rack is quite a feat. Then I found this petite leather jacket from Abercrombie, and reviews said it ran small, so I decided to give it a try and give you my own review.

I ordered size XXS in the burgundy color. The description on Abercrombie’s site lists size small as 20.5″ in length with 32.25″ sleeves. Hip-length shirts on me are typically between 21″-23″, and a good sleeve length for me is between 29″-30″. Therefore on me, this jacket was definitely more of a cropped fit, but the sleeves were a couple inches too long.

Since I’m top-heavy, this jacket was also quite snug on my chest when I zipped it up. In my usual size XXS, I would say there was zero room for any layering underneath. Unless you can afford to go up a size, if you buy your normal size, this jacket will be more for wearing over t-shirts or dresses in warmer weather. Since the sleeves in my usual size were already two inches too long, this wasn’t an option for me.

Ultimately, I decided to keep the jacket. Despite it being a more of a cropped, snug fit than I expected and the sleeves being a bit too long, it’s still the best fitting leather jacket I’ve ever had. It’s been incredibly hard to find a leather jacket that hugs my body this well, that isn’t too big in the shoulders, and that isn’t super long in the body and the sleeves. I also found that unzipping the sleeves makes them look less long.

I purchased my jacket in the Black Friday sale, so unfortunately the color I bought is no longer available. However, it is still available in a range of sizes in great staple colors like black, beige, and brown; and in different fabrics like faux leather and faux suede. I hope you enjoyed my review of this petite-friendly leather jacket!

  1. I am obsessed with Abercrombie’s vegan leather jackets. I have a puffer and the quality just blows me away! So happy they’ve had a revamp from years ago!

    1. They’ve definitely upped their game! I remember everyone being obsessed with Abercrombie when I was in high school, but the styles are very different then vs. now. There are actually pieces that work for adults now too!
