Shop Till You Drop! Yeah. I know you're not supposed to shop online using company resources. But, if you're going to do it, you may as well save some money.

Wilson's Leather 5-day Sale

It's scary how influential I am sometimes.

Every week my grandmother comments on my leather jackets. She loves them, but, has never owned one. This week I told her to get her shoes on. I got her a wheel chair (she can't walk far) and wheeled her to Wilson's to have her try some on.

She first went to the leather jacket that I own (which is on sale!)

Here's a link to it:

http://www.wilsonsleather.com/jump.j...ID=6734&cmCat=

While she was admiring herself in that jacket, I was looking at one for myself. A brown suede 3/4 length coat.

The XL was too big :dance: which made me very happy. But, the L was too small, which made me unhappy. As I was putting it back on the rack my grandmother says "wait! That's my coat!"

She tried it on, and sure enough, it was her coat.

I bought it for her for Christmas. !tree

Anyway, if you think you want one, or you are going to buy one for someone else GO THERE NOW!

Her coat retailed at $375, and was on sale for $99.99.

If the L fit over my boobs, or if the XL didn't fit me like a tent, I would have bought one for myself.

Margaret, who thinks its scary that her 84 year old grandma has on the shoes she picked out, the purse she picked out, and now, the coat she picked out!!!

So happy for grandma! She must love shopping with you!

I LOVE the styles but darn it, I won't wear leather. Why can't they make a good synthetic that is styled just like these! Some day they will and by then they'll all be out of style and there I'll be in my pleather.

Always behind the times...

Re: Wilson's Leather 5-day Sale

Hmm... I have some nice synthetic ones that I got years ago at Rave.

I bought them in like... '97. Shudder.

I have one blazer styled one, and one belted one. They're very similar to my real leather ones, but, they don't have ANY lining and provide no warmth. They're fine on 60 degree days, but, that's about it.

Most of their clothes are a bit trashy, but, it couldn't hurt to peak in some time to see if they have any pleather for you.

Huh, what a coincidence. I just bought a black faux leather jacket at Rave for my sister, who spied it while shopping. Fairly simple design, zip-up front and pockets, etc. $10, if you can believe it! It's her early birthday present.
