Bartender Edit: For the attention of those who may have just alighted here, before you click on the link which Peter has asked about, do please read on. No one knows for certain, and we are not trying to suggest that this business is 'definitely' out to rip anyone off, but it does pay to be careful out there on the web. That is all.

Nothing to do with Lewis Leathers. Very likely a scam website as well.

In case anyone is looking at this, and FWIW...

I saw this advertised on Facebook. To be fair, when asked in the comments they have been very open that they are not affiliated with Lewis Leathers / Aviakit when questioned in comments, though I'd be very surprised if they came up with that name by pure coincidence....

The bigger stench from this one is the classic Facebook ad "going out of business" line. It's a common scam to claim they have these huge reductions for a super-limited time only and you'll never be able to buy them again to cajole people into buying them NOW rather than stop and think. If a jacket arrives, it will be a jacket that is worth what you paid for it. It may or may not resemble the one in the photo on the website. I suspect that there's also a risk that "gonig out of business" may be an excuse for the website to disappear after a short while / avoid any after sales issues. Caveat Emptor.

@Edward - Might be beneficial to delete the link in the original post of put a warning next to is so folks do not click it.

I have seen too many of these on FB. Be VERY careful on FB overall.

Easy done! I once got as far as putting a lot of stuff in the basket of what absolutely seemed to be a legitimate "outlet" storefront for a well known brand before I twigged!

Thank you Edward-I went in their store in 1976 and was smitten.
