And it is apparently made by a Pakistani company and being shipped from Karachi. Should I be worried? Its a online website store and has great marks on etsy.

A couple of guys I know bought Prince Charlie jackets from a shop on Amazon.  Same type of thing.  Jackets seemed to work out ok, no crazy fraud to date.

Lol no. Its supposedly real leather as well, cost $500 so hopefully it's not a fake.

No idea. They had the address listed as California and apparently have some form of something there, but my tracking said it picked the package up for Karachi, Pakistan.

Didn't specify the animal the leather came from.

Check the Waco area on Craigslist. Great place to find leather jackets for sale.

What is this jacket supposedly going to be used for?  Motorcycle riding/safety aid to help prevent some road rash?  If so, I would look into the feedback of such company.  Nothing worse than riding around with a false sense of security especially when it comes to road rash.

You bought a $500 jacket and have no idea what hide it is made from?

Just for wear. I buy my winter clothes early and SE Texas winter's are 35F so a leather jacket is all you need.

The vendor has really good feedback on etsy which is why I bought from them. Most stuff on there is handmade custom things fyi.

$335 actually. Forgot it was a special price when I ordered it. Still a lot though, guess I'll have to see how it looks when it comes in.

Not uncommon.
Lots of leather apparel is made in Pakistan.
Yes it's real leather (and good quality for the price in my experience).

I've never had a problem with anything I've ordered.

So to update this, got the jacket in and the quality is superb. Stitching is on point and it is for sure leather. I'll get a picture up tonight. Money well spent IMO. They even had a small square of the leather included with the tag to show the leather quality.

Some times things are made other places because they have a good infrastructure for it.



Take Mexico for example.  Many high quality leather items are made there, and it's not because they are cheaper. It's because the country has a long history of good leather manufacturers. Especially with thick leather items.

Company not far from where I live called Hudson Leather. All the leather stuff they sell is Pakistani. I could buy a complete leather suit with pants dinner jacket and underwear socks for less than $500. Stuff is good quality too.
