I've been looking for a leather or leather-like jacket in a simple style (not too motorcyle). Express has this jacket available in eight colors and sizes from XS to Large (possibly XL). http://www.express.com/minus-the-leathe ... pro#jsLink

I haven't found anything else in a color I liked (I chose "cognac"), so I ordered the jacket in size XS even though they don't carry petite sizes. Jacket retails for $98 but I purchased during one of Express' frequent sales. I love the color and the style is pretty much what I wanted; however, the arms are too long.

What do people think? Should I look for something more fitted, or does this look ok? Any suggestions?

For reference, I am just under 5' tall and about 100 pounds. I usually wear size XXSP/00P.

I don't think I can revise my review submission, but here are some more details:

The jacket is listed on the Express website as "cropped," which is probably why it isn't super long on me. As you can see from the back, it does have those ribbed panels. I'm not really into those. The jacket material itself is very soft and pliable.

If you have suggestions about an alternate jacket, one that would be more fitted and shorter in length, I would love to hear them. Also would like to hear from people about how they think the jacket looks (honestly!)--in my opinion it's okay from the front but I'm not really into the back view.

I really like the fit of that on you! I wouldn't go more fitted or shorter.

I really liked the fit of the jacket on you. I say a keeper!
