Shoppers rush to buy River Island’s ‘jacket of the season’ that’s finally back in stock

A River Island chocolate leather biker jacket which sold out in four days is back just in time for Christmas and Black Friday.

The brown leather oversized biker jacket was tipped to be the must-have wardrobe essential heading into Autumn, dubbed as the ‘chocolate biker jacket of the season’ by the high street retailer.

Social media users went wild over the dreamy chocolate accessory, commenting on Instagram: “Omgggg need in my life,” while others said they were "obsessed" with the “gorgeous” piece. So it was no surprise when, less than a week later, customers were complaining that it was out of stock.

Posting about its hotly-anticipated return, River Island once again took to the platform where the piece first went viral, commenting: “Our viral leather jacket is back in stock. Run, don’t walk.” Followers responded with a string of heart and heart-eye emojis, adding: “Love the jacket and the bag too.”

The coat is 100 per cent leather in an oversized fit with a distressed finish, perfect for wearing over knits or loungewear. Complete with silver hardware and edgy belt, it’s the ultimate cool girl aesthetic for those of us desperate to look as effortlessly chic as Hailey Bieber or Molly Mae Hague.

That said, it would look just as cool over an evening outfit - we’re thinking a stone satin midi skirt, heels and tee, or even dressier with a black jumpsuit and slick back bun. The outfit combinations are seemingly endless.
