I noticed this week that US Wings has put up a well-populated clearance page:
http://www.uswings.com/clearance.asp
Now, I'm not claiming that these jackets are in the same league as the premium repros! (In fact, I've never even handled one of their self-labeled leather jackets, but I gather that they're essentially comparable to Coopers.) Besides their own label, there are also some Avirex and Schott (etc.) jackets on the list at attractive prices.
Anyway, there are some jackets there that seem like they might be damn good buys for knockaround use, or for experimenting with painting on or distressing, or as gifts for less-critical spouses, kids (there are lots of small sizes), or friends. I figured it was worth pointing out, for what it's worth!
