What’s better than a two-in-one fall jacket? On one side, this style is a fluffy fleece coat in a slouchy silhouette. On the other, it’s an edgy leather jacket with extra warm insulation. It’s a smart choice for fall travel when you don’t have room in your luggage for lots of options, and it can easily transition to winter with a few more layers.

What testers say: “I love, love, love this jacket!! This faux leather jacket is very high quality, warm, and stylish. This is a reversible jacket but I normally wear it with the faux black leather facing outwards. The sherpa lining provides a lot of warmth and comfort. Keeps me warm without being bulky and heavy. I recently wore this jacket on a trip to New York City and received a lot of compliments.”
