Has anyone here ever had one of these. I was in the market today for a leather jacket and was planning on spending anywhere from 500 to 1000 for one when I came across zara.

They had these fake leather and leather jackets (sheepskin) for anywhere from 100 to 160.

I ended up buying 3 for the price of 424.

Are these jackets for real? Or will they fall apart after a month?

The fit and cut is perfect which is the real reason I bought 3. They look great.

The only thing is that the leather on the sheepskin one is a little wrinkly, is there a way to iron or remove wrinkles from sheepskin/leather?

My mind is just blown away by **** like this. I mean, people don't go to buy a mercedes and then decide to buy 3 honda civics.

Well thanks for contributing jack **** to the conversation.

These jackets fit better than all the 500-1000 jackets I tried on today. Only nicer jackets fit wise are in the 1500-3000 range

^Pretty much what I was thinking. The sheepskin Zara uses is pretty crappy. It's actually not that hard to mistake it for Zara pleather because of the plasticky texture and how insubstantial it is. Why didn't you just buy a TOJ leather jacket?

It's better to have one nice jacket than 3 mediocre ones. The wrinkles are usually a part of the dying process or wash the leather went through. Don't do anything to them.

The quality of leather on those 500-1000 jackets were pretty ******.

They were cole haan, marc jacobs, diesel, and some others I can't remember.

The leather was second grade and the fits were for fat people.

http://graphr.net/toj/2.2/ It's made to order. Send Drew your measurements and money, then you'll get a fantastic leather jacket in 3 weeks or so that will ensure that your 3 zara ones will be collecting dust in your closet. And I don't want to sound like a dick, but this thread is one of the reasons why I second robbie's suggestion of a cred check.

Also, you could ask the mods to retake the test if your tastes changed, but you'd have to submit a fit along with re-taking the test to ensure that we all were separate but equal. robbie

Chill out you dork. The search function on this website is broken, I did a several searches and it takes me to main forum, as if you clicked on the front page.

I'm on android os using the mobile browser, maybe you could get them to work on it. You seem to have a lot of clout on this message board.

http://www.styleforum.net/forumdispl...c&daysprune=-1 TOJ thread i belive if you really like the jacket then you should have bought one dont' see anythign wrong in buying something you like.. but 3 is a bit excessive i doubt you like it that much to go through 3 of them. If you like it as much as you do refund the 2 other and get another one from somewhere else aka TOJ
