I don't know if this has been discussed yet but this message was at the top of an email from USWings:
US Wings New & Sale Items...
First, Some Bad News: A large-scale buy up of leather and wool by Chinese manufacturers has caused a shortage of these materials which will affect domestic manufacturers of leather and wool garments. This shortage will lead to an increase in the price of leather jackets & wool coats. As a result, US Wings will have to increase the price of all leather jackets and wool peacoats by a minimum of 25% in early 2008 (this price increase is not limited to US Wings; all retailers of leather jackets and wool coats will have to similarly increase their prices). US Wings has not had a major price increase of our flight jackets in over a decade (for instance, the $229 retail price of our goatskin A-2 is the same as it was 10 years ago), but this price increase will be unavoidable. Now for some good news...
Might be time to by that Aero I "need".![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
