Hello all, current reader of these forums and want your advice!

I just visited my local Burberry outlet and they had this beautiful blue leather jacket from there Prorsum line.

Here is a pic I found off the internet:

Now, before I purchase this jacket, could the SF members educate me on a few things?

A) I know the Prorsum line is the highest that Burberry offers, but is the lambskin they use "quality"?

B) The jacket was on sale for $750, marked all the way down from $3795. Is the quality and build of the jacket worth $750? Or should I wait to see if the price drops even lower?

Thanks!

I did the math and it turned up to be just a little over 80% off retail.

Here's and interesting fact, I guess singer pop stars wore this jacket too. (Chris Brown and Usher) plus, everywhere I looked, if says the jacket is sold out.

If it's something that you can afford and you like it, then buy it. It looks nice and the quality is probably good as well.

When I tried it on, it fit like a normal jacket, wasn't too short. I think it was the model they used. I am 5'7 and I believe the models are taller than I am.
