I have seven of them. I have bomber jackets, motorcycle jackets, car coats and trench coats. I usually have a zip up jacket and a zip up motorcycle jacket.
JC Penney discounts their leather jackets to almost half price after winter. There are always killer deals. But to top it off they sent me a coupon for 40% off anything in their catalogs. I bought five leather jackets for less than $500.00. I'm 6 foot 4 inches and all the coats I bought are extra tall. It was a great buy.
Put it off, wait until spring and snag yourself some deals. They do it every year, at least the last four. They seem to have some good deals now after I looked at the link. BTW this goes for jackets in general. I've bought cheap down jackets for $20.00 in the spring, courtesy of either Hot Deals or Fat Wallet.
Go with black leather, I've ordered some brown ones and always returned them, that's just my opinion. I've also had lambskin jackets, they are very supple and flexible, but they tear easily.
