I’m pretty sure that Y2 Leather does as well, but I must agree with everyone above who has urged you to pass on this style. In addition to the functional issues I just don’t think they look good, and for the price of that RMC you could have almost any leather jacket you heart desires.

I found those too. Unfortunately, the colors and models aren't my style.
But do you know where they make their jackets? (I'm assuming not in the USA, the price of the jackets seems too cheap for that)

If you are looking for a down jacket 80% of the down in all down jackets (or any other down product) comes from China. Most of it is duck down and may have a little goose mixed in. Products are generally assembled in China, India, and Mexico. The feathers may be stitched into a packet in China. The packet is shipped to another country where the outer shell is sewn over the packet to produce the item.

Here are a couple of Schott leather/down jackets that I picked up several years ago on their sale page.

The tan one is waxed pebbled cowhide w/cotton lining and down filling (not sure of the percentage). I bought this about 7 years ago for around $500.00 and wear this more frequently than the black one. It's very comfortable and I like the shawl collar since it can be rolled back and not rub against my neck although the leather on the collar area has darkened somewhat compared to the rest of the jacket.

The black one is lambskin w/real mouton collar - the leather looks somewhat fake but it's real. I think I paid $600.00 or so 6 years ago. I haven't worn this much and find the collar rubs against my neck no matter how the jacket sits.

Both are quite warm and fit me well enough. I prefer the tan one over the black as it's overly puffy appearance looks a bit goofy to me.

I've seen some of these on Steal-Bay but most are high in price and in questionable condition.

I do have some regular down jackets that are just as warm but when I want to feel a bit special (and warm) I employ on of these.

That black one is like an 80s bad dream!
The Vs + pointy tail + side elastic bands is quite a design mix...

To quote a great man: "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

I've got a Rainbow Country down vest. It's made really well, very warm. But I would advise against spending money on down vest, leather ones. I rarely wear mine. You're better off with a nice leather jacket or a wool jacket, and leave the down to the synthetics. Puffy and leather don't quite go hand in hand imo for aesthetics.
