This is my first post -- hi everybody. I've been lurking for some time.
So, I was at Filene's and was looking at their heavily discounted rack when I ran across this Brioni blue suede jacket. I was not in the market for such a thing, but the fit was damn near perfect (50 European), and they honored a 20% off coupon on top of its already discounted 50% off, bringing the total price to $400. As you can see, the suggested retail of the jacket was $3500.
Still, $400 is a lot of cash (to me anyway). I kind of want to keep it (given the good deal I got on it), but I'm trying to justify the expense. Do you think this thing can be worn in a lot of situations, or is it one of those things that is not really practical? Honestly, I'm not sure I've ever seen anybody wear a blue suede jacket, which gives me some pause. I'd appreciate your opinions.
FYI, the third pic is probably the best in terms of giving you an idea of the color.
