assymmetrical-zip style Explanation: an alternative. never heard of Perfecto though Lisa's links show they exist if this was in leather I'd just say it's "motorcycle style" but, since it isn't, I'd use "assymmetrical-zip(per) style" |

Perfecto-style Explanation: Perfecto motorcycle jacket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfecto_motorcycle_jacket Perfecto is a brand of "lancer fronted" leather motorcycle jackets designed by Irving Schott and manufactured by American clothing company Schott NYC. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 minutos (2013-10-08 10:23:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "Perfecto-Style" Jacket Borchiato - Verapellestore.com www.verapellestore.com/ai_en/perfecto-style-jacket-borchiat... Real lambskin leather jacket for women. A never-ending classic, this kind of jacket has been in fashion for more than 50 years: Runner is the 21st century ... A Brief History of the Leather Jacket - Ssense www.ssense.com/news/history-of-the-leather-jacket 28 Feb 2013 - It wasn't long before the leather jacket, and the Perfecto style in particular, was immortalized via Hollywood's influence. Marlon Brando's ... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 horas (2013-10-08 15:04:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- My argument here is that the original uses 'Perfecto', not just an explanation of what this means, supposedly to make it sound trendier. If we want to remain true to the original we should keep 'Perfecto' and add an explanation: "Perfecto-style coat with side zip fastening". And as it's 'tipo perfecto', yes there can be 'Perfecto-style' coats as well as jackets, and even skirts. It's where the zip is not in the centre but to one side. |

biker coat Explanation: I've seen the term 'biker coat' used for this. I agree with Lisa about 'perfecto' but I think this is easier to understand in the context of a store website. http://www.marksandspencer.com/Collection-Animal-Print-Biker... http://lovelybylucy.com/2012/08/outfit-in-with-the-new/ http://www.warehouse.co.uk/aw12-coat-of-arms/content/fcp-con... |
