Cheap Leather

[chiphead]

I was looking for a cheap leather jacket to replace my 30+ year one that I had. Keep in mind I wasn't looking to make a fashion statement but was just searching for a replacement to replace the disintegrating one I had. Stumbled across these folks: http://www.carolinaleatherworks.com/index.html

The jacket I was looking at didn't have a pic on their web page of the back so I emailed them. Within an hour I received an email back and they had posted two pics of the back of the jacket on their web page. So I figure, OK, cheap jacket let's figure out what size I need. On this particular jacket they stated on their web page it was cut small so order at least one size up. Well, I measured according to the info on their site and it seemed I was some sort of a mutant gorilla. So I emailed them again. On a Saturday. And received a response back within an hour again from their "weekend help desk"! He recommended a 3XL for me based on this particular jacket and the sizes I gave him. Keep in mind I'm usually an XL or XL tall. So I bit and ordered it last Saturday and it showed up at my door today. And it fits. $5.95 shipping. I'd do it again.

Thanks for the link. I just ordered the brown travel bag and the brown buffalo jacket in Big boy size(4X). (I will not wear black riding gear) they had nothing in pink

Update: the travel bag is great. Super heavy leather. Solid zippers and straps.
The jacket is another story. Thin dress leather. Questionable sewing on the seams. Generally poor quality. I won't wear it so it's heading for ebay tomorrow

Sorry it didn't work out for you madjack. In my dealings with them they stated you can exchange anything you want and their email responses were very quick.
Is this what you bought?

Yes, The 4xl description is not real accurate (as suspected). I usually wear a 2xl. This coat was tight across the shoulders. I must say the arms are very long which is a plus. I guess the biggest deal to me is that it's just not what I would consider to be a riding weight coat but more of a fashion weight for the profilers. All in all the jacket was a gamble like anything else you buy via the internet. I will remember the site because of the quality of the travel bag and the ease of the transaction

I wear a leather when I ride to help keep bones from flying out of me if I wreck, so to me a cheap leather is like a cheap helmet.
