The Arrivals Moya III is a permanent fixture on every Instagram influencer's grid for a reason. It's that elusive blend of trendy, timeless, and high quality.
It takes a lot to make an over-$1,000 price tag seem downright reasonable. Yet, here I am, trying to convince you that The Moya III by popular outerwear brand The Arrivals is a sensible purchase.
There are definitely less expensive leather jackets out there, but The Moya III just has that extra something. Our own Insider Picks reporter Mara Leighton called The Moya III "devastatingly worth the hype."
The Moya III has an oversized and shearling-trimmed silhouette that is at once of-the-moment and completely timeless. While plenty of leather jackets are fair-weather friends, The Arrivals designed this one for colder weather. The Marino trim is water-resistant and the jacket is lined with wool so that you can wear it when the temperatures dip below 30 degrees. The Coveteur's Hannah Baxter says, "It's incredibly warm and water-resistant, so I can finally get rid of my embarrassing puffer coat and brave the inevitable snow and freezing rain in style."
While you can find high-end leather motos for $5,000, it's the Moya III's added warmth and lifetime warranty that makes it the best luxury pick worth your money. As New York Magazine's The Strategist writer Margaret Rhodes puts it, The Arrivals sells "Helmut Lang– or Acne-caliber leather jackets, but sold for $700 to $1,100." When you think of it that way, it's kind of a bargain. The brand has several other styles if you're not into the Moya, and many buyers note that the Moya is oversized, so you may want to size down accordingly.
The price is definitely a con, and that the Moya III is understandably a bit heavier than your average leather jacket due to the shearling, length, and metal detailing. If you're looking for something cheaper and lighter with the same design aesthetic, The Arrivals' also makes a cropped version for $795.
Pros: Warm enough for winter wear, less expensive than other similar styles from luxury brands, lifetime warranty
Cons: slightly heavy, expensive
