I’ve been wanting a leather jacket for quite some time now but have been turned off by synthetic materials or ridiculous price tags. $200 is pretty average for non-brand names from Wilson’s Leather or Urban Outfitters or even Express and Abercrombie. More if you’re going for brands (which I’m not).

Being New Year’s (with major sales), I decided to walk around downtown SF before meeting up with some people for dinner. To my amazement, I found these gorgeous genuine leather jackets at Mango (originally priced at $179.99) for $89… but I couldn’t justify buying something without having much of an income right now… so I didn’t. Now I regret it, and SF is the only place with a Mango store in NorCal… so all I can do is blog about it then get over it.
