Anyone have experience with Fs.leather?

I've seen several jackets from a company called Fs.leather on eBay. It says Pakistan on the site but also USA. So I was wondering if anyone bought any jackets from them? The jackets look nice, like this one:

No experience with Fs.

But you see this all the time on eBay. Very cheaply priced jackets made in Pakistan with some fly by night brand and questionable photos that look nice, but may be stolen images from a reputable manufacturer or dealer.

Best avoid. But if you do buy one, be sure to take a lot of photos and review it here.

It might be okay.... Caveat Emptor. Cost price to make in Pakistan is likely to be about a third of what they're charging, I believe. Most likely a US company having them made out there and drop-shipped from the factory to order. I'd say it's likely a lamb or other fairly flimsy hide, and obviously will be cheaper components. That said, this one seems to be priced at about what the Pakistani company would charge you - I've seen other Western companies selling jackets for three times what you can buy the same thing for direct from the Pakistani company who made it for them charge.

I might try it. I'm looking for a knock around jacket , so I don't care if its not super high quality.

if I was looking for a knock about jacket that I didn't want to worry about and wanted to spend much less than my Aeros cost, I'd look to Wested as a known quantity, though they are a tiny bit more than these. For me, worth it for them being a known quantity, but YMMV.

Yeah, wested has some nice looking jackets. I'm thinking the B-3 style is the one I would get. But I have a good 4 months before it starts to get cold in Kansas so plenty of time to decide.
