Default Great buy on leather jacket at Wilsons Leather

Stopped at a Wilsons Outlet store in Ocean City MD and found this jacket Wilsons Leather on the 70% discount rack. Really looks like a great buy on a good jacket....tempting.....very tempting!

I wouldn't call 70% off on a mark-up of 400% a very good deal personally . No disrespect , but i really dislike Wilsons as they have such an outrageous mark-up on alot of inferior jackets .

That jacket, I have seen in person when the actual stores were here at the local mall. It is an actual motorcycle jacket and not just the motorcycle style. It had padding in the arms, shoulders, and tail. It did not have the Back protector though like Joe rocket or similar makes. It is also not light and has a decent weight to it. It was also the only real motorcycle jacket they offered. The rest that they had in the $99 to $150 range were just casual wear jackets.

I really liked it. The sleeves were long enough that they didn't creep up when you extended your arms, the built-in neck warmer and liner with sleeves was nice too. If I hadn't just spent $1600 on a new transfer case in my truck I would have bought it in a heart beat! With the discount it was down to $119.00.

I know this is 5 days late. Those jackets they sell are motorcycle style jackets. If you go to a motorcycle store and look at the jackets you will find that the leather is heavier and the thread and zippers are stronger. If your are in the ocean city area you should go to chrome world. It is off of rt 113 just inside delaware. They have some good deals on motorcycle gear and you dont have to pay sales tax. Look them up on the internet. If you go there on a Saturday in the am you will find some older goldwing riders sitting about drinking free coffee and donuts. I beleive they are open until 1 on saturdays and will not answer any phones on Saturdays.
