Ok,

The Admiral is having a birthday...don't even bother asking which one.... nono

I would like to buy her a mid thigh length leather jacket. Lambskin or cowhide would be fine. Something classic that will last for years and stay in style. Think budget Burberry's (sp?).

Does anybody, especially those of the fairer sex, on this board have any suggestions?

Thanks...

Where to buy a quality jacket at a fair price. I do not want a budget one that in three years looks terrible.

My MC jacket is over 23 years old and still looks fine.
It was not a cheap one but was mid lined price.

Thanks.

No apology needed, I kind of got a kick out of the "Naugy" reference.

Wilson's looks good....

Didn't he star with Tom Hanks in "Castaway"?...

The Wilson's store in one of our local Malls recently closed. I don't know if that is a trend or just that particular Mall.

One of the few pleasures I got out of being dragged to the Mall was to stop into the Wilson's store and smell the ambiance.

But I see Wilson's has an on-line store. Think your admiral would like this jacket?

I agree with Burlington coat factory. I have seen a lot of leather coats there. We have gotten coats for both my wife and mother there. My mother has an imitation fur that she loves. We got it for her birthday a couple years agao.

I usually just pick something out knowing in all likelyhood, we'll be returning it later. But I've gotten pretty good at picking out the right stuff now.

How about this one from Wilson's?
