    bothered joeniblick, it's funny, it seems one thing bothers some people, and others bother others myself, i was debating whether to put up with the wrinkles of the overly soft leather, and so i checked the whole jacket out...that inspection made me aware of the front pocket problems where...

    DEFECT OPiNiONS: Would U return this jacket???

    thanks for more response... i'd say that my 'obnoxious' remark about myself was more of a joke...actually, i was quite nice, but determined that this was not right thank you feraud for your input...as we all know, we can get these jackets for utilitarian purposes for $100 at the mall, when...

    Schott offering 20% off until 6/30

    SToRMy opinion i must concur with storm comparing aero and schott as i've had both, and many schotts schott is a decent standard-quality u.s. made jacket that, unfortunately, is sold at premium prices on their website...from my understanding schott uses the same 'unite' u.s. union factory to...
