Turns out I wasn't the only one who dug Scarlett's leather jacket in the movie. I've had a couple hits by people shopping for it. So here's what I could dig up:
Bagatelle Scuba Jacket, $268 at Nordstrom's. (Scuba jacket? Who goes scuba diving in a leather jacket?)
Hinge leather biker Jacket, $298 at Nordie's.
Tan leather motorbike Jacket, also by Hinge: $298. Based on my fuzzy memory, this is probably the closest of those I found to what Rachel Nichols wore in the movie.
For something more upscale: Forzieri Brown Italian Leather Motorcycle Jacket, $648 at Amazon.
I'm feeling rather smug, because I already have a tan jacket very much along these lines, which the SP bought me at Gap about two years ago. I think we paid $80 for it on clearance. But then I've often been ahead of the curve.
What if you'd rather dress as a bad girl? Depends on how bad you wanna be (and I'd rather not know, thanks):
El cheapo jumpsuit from questionable source: $149. (Privately? Ick.)
Custom-sized fetish gear from a slightly-less questionable source: $189. (Now with Triple-zipper Action!)
Nicer construction but still fetish-oriented, also via Ebay: $255.
Bespoke leather jumpsuit suitable for a Baroness: about $1600 U.S. Which is plumb reasonable for custom-fit leather, if you ask me.
Someday when I'm bored and rich enough I may make myself a leather jumpsuit (or more likely, a two-piece suit, which is more comfortable) just to say I've done it. Don't know where I'd wear it, though. My international spy career has been less appealing since I married the SP.
