My wife (the frugal one in our marriage) has wanted a good leather jacket for a long time. I have been buying a lot of stuff for myself since my income went up recently. (We have zero debt and are on track with our finanacial goals!). So, I think it is her turn to get an expensive indulgence she wants. Personally, I could not care less about wearing/owning one myself, and think black ones look pretty kitchy and tacky. Also, we live in the HELL A area where it is basically never cold enough to wear one--at least for me.
Anyway, what brands would you suggest? If this is a "buy-it-for-life" purchase, I'm thinking it might not be too much of a waste of money. I bought her a leather Coach purse (a low-key one that does not scream: "COACH!!!" all over it) nearly ten years ago, and it is nearly as good as new. In that time, she would have probably gone through 8 or 10 cheap throw-away purses.
Suggestions for brands to look for, and where to buy them would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
