Signs of Grace

Palm Desert, Macy’s, 2000

I have a leather jacket that has a sentimental value. And have been wearing it ever since I bought it nine years ago. It has aged drastically, small rips not noticeable, faded in some parts but it has stood the tests of time. It is hard to come by such good work, which is durable as my brown leather Alfani Jacket. Guess where it was made? It would be your guess as mine — in China. Hey, but you have to give these Chinese the credit; they are very versatile in making profit. For once they have a produced something very durable.

I bought this jacket when I was employed at Macy’s. It was on sale and to top that off I had my employee discount which saved a few dollars. But in the end it was a good investment. Shell: Genuine Leather, Lining: 50% Nylon, 50% Acetate. Filler: 100% Polyester WPL 8046. So think of this as many parts coming together to make this genuine product for a Men’s clothing line. From Paris to Rome, Milan to New York the best product for the cheapest bling.
