My very first big purchase as an “adult” was a nice real leather jacket which I too got on sale. I still have it well over two decades later. I would say though I got an LL Bean coat for an Xmas gift one year and it is by far my favorite coat ever. It’s rated for -40 degree weather and built to last. I would have never spent the money on such a thing for myself but having it makes a world of difference to me (I’m very cold sensitive). I will most definitely shell out the money for a replacement when the time comes.
I used to have a leather trench coat. I loved that thing. I wish I knew what happened to it. This was like 30 years ago, so who knows? But my daughter is very punk rock, so she needed the right kind of jacket for that.
