these shyts ugly as fukk.... but lets not act like name brand leather jackets arent over $1000 anyways. Real genuine leather is crazy expensive even the ralph lauren leathers are double the price of these weak ass pelle's. You can always rock a pleather jacket tho if u dont feel like payin money for real leather:russ:
everybody didn’t have access to the Ralph Lauren stores back in the 90’s, if you was really getting to it back then you had some furs and some pelles.

Clothes or are you talking about leathers?

Leather ain’t cheap. And especially if it’s a name brand like Pelle Pelle.

The reason why it's high is due to the material. Any nice quality leather, especially lambskin, is usually going to be $600 the bare minimum. And that's before you even factor in the type of stitching or designs the coat may have. I remember when Pelle Pelle first got popular around 89 with the Soda Club jackets. Not too many people had em, only a select few. Then you had Michael Hoban with his leather jackets (the 8 ball being the most popular which I never really cared for). This era was from 89 to about 93ish. Then Avirex and Andrew Marc got big around 94/95. Then late 90's going into the early 00's (98-02) was the Iceberg and Jeff Hamilton era. I remember back in 98, having a white Iceberg leather jacket with Mickey Mouse on the back that cost me around $1200 and a canary yellow Jeff Hamilton NBA Team logo jacket back in 01. I rode the bench during the Pelle Pelle soda club 89/90 era because I was too young and didn't have any paper lol/
