LEATHER JACKET SEARCH

I have been searching long and hard for a leather jacket. Typically when I shop for something in particular I have already formed what it will look like it my mind. This makes it very difficult and time consuming and often I never find what I was looking for in the first place, because it does not exist. I suppose this is why I went to school to learn fashion design, to be able to create these styles. I have always wanted a leather jacket but have never taken the plunge due to the expense. Now that fall is here and I have to face once again the morning stumble of "it's not warm but not cold so none of my winter coats will do" factor, I have decided it is time. I have looked everywhere I could think of, starting with Lord & Taylor, Bloomingdales, Macy's, Jcrew, Ralph Lauren, Theory, Barneys, the list goes on. I knew i wanted a brown leather coat, that is not cropped, with a hood, and in the bomber style. I wanted to make sure it would be a classic addition to my wardrobe that i could wear year after year after year, it could not be trendy. Finally the search is over, in the place I least expected it. Abercrombie, and at a price point that is very reasonable compared to many of the other jackets I came across.
