I by nature am a leather person. This jacket arrived which I bought for my son. I asked him first if he liked it and he looked and he said it's got to be cheap it is only $$, I said price is not a factor all the time. Well when the jacket was received......Wow! Wow! Wow! it is soft beautiful leather, stylish pockets and zippers and You could not get a better bargain than this. the original cost was $$$ and it is marked down, which is usually a sale of when they first came in or a clearence. Yet it didn't say clearence. If you are thinking about this, Think no more and buy right now before they are gone.
