Bally Cervo Deerskin Leather Jacket-Thoughts?

[TheRolls321]

Hello to all, this is my first time posting to the forum, but have been a long time reader.

Well, the other day I was going through flipboard on my iphone and came across a particular leather jacket in 3 colors (Blue my favorite) :

Upon further research, I found it was made by Bally and is part of there 2013 AW lineup. My questions are; Is Bally a known leather jacket maker? And, what are your thoughts on this jacket? (Being made out of deerskin and having a detachable beaver fur collar and lining)

Thanks

Not sure exactly what you want to know. Bally has been traditionally known for its footwear and leather goods, so it's DNA is definitely there. I haven't really used a lot of their products recently - and changes in ownership often mean some restructuring throughout an organization, so my previous experience with their products may have no bearing on their offerings today.

In terms of material, deerskin is quite unique - very supple, but still reasonably durable, with highly textured surface. Those jackets are probably pretty nice. Designwise, they look like pretty regular bombers, but the colors do look interesting.
