Where to buy a good leather jacket?

[th3w01f]

Any advice on where to find a good, well made leather jacket? I've gotten some nice "designer" jackets as presents over the last few years but the leather is so "soft and supple" (flimsy) that they don't hold up to brushing against a display rack at a grocery store (King Soopers just put a nice dime size hole in my latest).

Somewhere between Denver and Co Springs would be good and any advice on brands would be appreciated.

Thanks

Joseph A Banks when they run the buy one get two or three free deal. That's assuming you need the other two or three.
Wilson's Leather has some heavy duty leather leather jackets as well (some ultra thin ones too)

I've had a couple jackets from Wilson Leather that were solid.

^^^this^^^ What style, purpose, etc,. may help refine the search.

If utility and durability are what you're after, and price and wait-time are not paramount: http://www.langlitz.com/

I picked up a nice one at Kohl's a few years back in an after-Christmas sale for $99. Very well made. Can't recall what brand it is. I also picked one up at a motorcycle swap meet. No way you could wear a hole in this thing rubbing up against anything. Of course, it is so stiff and thick you can barely move your arms.

If you are in the right place at the right time, Kohl's can be your friend. A few years back, I scored a really nice Docker's-branded casual leather jacket off the clearance rack, plus an add'l xx% off. Originally $365, final price was around $65. Classically styled, favorably priced, and even the right size. Couldn't pass it up.

Taylor's Leatherwear. I have one of theirs from many years ago, and it's still in great shape. Extremely well built.

Actually, what size do you wear?

2nd for foxcreekleather.com. But I've only bought riding leather gear through them. Don't know about any other type of jackets they may do.
