Lets be honest, finding a plus-size moto jacket that actually fits and looks good is like searching for a unicorn riding a bicycle – mythical. Ive spent years trawling through online shops, enduring ill-fitting, cheap-looking imitations that left me feeling more frumpy than fierce. So, when I stumbled upon the Levis Womens Belted Faux Leather Moto Jacket in plus size (2024) – a glimmer of hope, you might say – I approached it with a healthy dose of skepticism tempered by desperate need. My usual size was a 2X, but after reading some reviews, I ordered a 3X just to be safe.
The first thing that struck me was the packaging. It wasnt some flimsy plastic bag; this jacket arrived in a sturdy box, hinting at the quality to come. Pulling it out, I was immediately impressed. The faux leather wasnt that stiff, plasticky material you find on so many budget jackets. This felt…substantial. It had a lovely, supple texture, almost buttery-soft, which surprised me. The color was a rich, deep black, exactly as advertised. No weird discoloration or cheap sheen.
Next came the moment of truth – the fitting. I’ve had jackets that felt like a straight jacket, others that hung like a tent. This one? Perfect. The 3X was the right call. It wasnt too tight across the chest or shoulders, which is a constant battle for me. The arms were long enough, hitting just at my wrist, and the length fell perfectly at my hips, covering my bum without making me look swallowed whole. The belted waist cinched me in just enough to create a flattering silhouette, accentuating my curves without feeling restrictive. I felt… confident. Powerful. Like a badass biker chick (minus the actual bike, for now).
I wore it everywhere. First, a casual coffee date with my best friend. She was seriously impressed. Then, to a slightly dressier dinner with my partner. Paired with a simple black dress, it added an unexpected edgy touch. It even survived a slightly rainy evening stroll – proving its surprisingly resilient nature. I’ve washed it once (following the care instructions diligently, naturally) and it came out looking as good as new, no shrinkage or damage. The zipper runs smoothly, the buttons are securely fastened, and the stitching is impeccable. No loose threads, no pulling, just quality craftsmanship.
The pockets are a welcome addition, big enough to hold my phone, wallet, and keys without feeling bulky. This is a detail often overlooked in womens jackets, especially plus-size ones. But Levis nailed it. Its the little things, you know? And the belt? Its not some flimsy, cheap-looking accessory. It’s a substantial, well-made piece that adds to the overall quality of the jacket.
Lets address the elephant in the room – the price. Its not cheap. But considering the quality, the fit, and the durability, its an investment I dont regret. Its a jacket that will last, a piece I’ll reach for time and time again, knowing itll make me feel fantastic. If youre a plus-size woman looking for a stylish, well-made moto jacket that fits beautifully, look no further. This Levis jacket exceeded all my expectations and transformed my wardrobe. Finally, a moto jacket that makes me feel like a million bucks – without the million-dollar price tag (well, almost!). I wholeheartedly recommend it. Seriously, buy it. You wont regret it. Trust me. My unicorn-riding-bicycle search is officially over. And it all started with a Levis jacket. (Plus Size Review 2024)
