I wish I could see "quality" over the Internet like the 50,000 14-year-olds on Niketalk...
Anyone that has seen/felt this jacket in person knows that it is, in fact, worth the $400...whether you like the styling or not...that is for you to decide,but the quality is there for $400...

Thank you, that's what i was trying to convey. For the most part, JB makes pretty good quality clothes and I've owned 2 Jordan leatherjackets and the quality is pretty top notch. Seriously, a $400 leather jacket is a decent price at most.

I don't think it will get damaged. Usually, cheap leather and suede leather gets ruined by rain/snow. This one is made of smooth lambskin so it shouldhold up pretty well.

Actually, price point is just about right for a lambskin jacket. I think the Nautica ones retail for the same price, although they certainly look alot classier
JB seems to be all about inspiration and not function these days. This jacket is in the style of a classic motorcycle "cafe racer" however the cutis ridiculous (did they need something MJ could fit his gut into?) and the premium materials negate it's use as a biker's jacket. Real motorcycleleathers are made from horsehide.
Although I like the idea, the end product is a joke. Coming soon to a outlet near you

I have had a lambskin jacket before and that stuff is like butter. I had it on as I was leaving my desk once and brushed my wrist past a stack of somepapers/folders. It actually left a couple papercuts near the cuff! I can't speak for how water would affect it as I was rather anal about the weather inwhich I wore it, however I don't think the results would be pretty!

The key for this jacket is the length and width. Because this jacket doesnt have an elastic waistband, like a bomber, it can, if too long, look very silly. Bythe same token, if it is too wide at the center, combined with the fact that their is no elastic waistband, can look even worse.
Now I am very familiar with JBs clothing sizing, but with this type of jacket, with its premium materials, workmanship, and of course pricing, needs to fitlike the jackets in its category.

^It does seem to fit quite a bit slimmer and shorter than all of the JB hoodys (even though it's not the same type of merch).

I was thinking of buying this jacket with a friends discount.
But I got a polo butter soft leather and passed on this.

I was going to say the following:
"Late"
"Posted"
Also I was going to add that the jacket has been out and has actually sold well, gradually.
Then I looked at the date the thread was created and I must say:
"Stop diggin' up old topics".

I'm a bit biased because I got one already and it looks FIRE with my stealth 23s but let me plead my case... $400 is not a bad price at all for a leatherjacket. Average prices for Leather Jackets are $300-$400. For once I can say you're paying for quality instead of just the logo on the Jacket.
