John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather.
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks.
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style. I have this in burnt sienna and love it. For the price point I am pleased. Now I'm debating on ordering it in black or vanguard. Theyll also customize for you. Sizing, liner, add pockets etc.Hi. I posted some time ago asking about Aero/Simmons Bilt, since I am currently on a weight loss journey, and was looking for a quality jacket to reward myself with. I've finally started to pick up momentum in that area again, but looking at the prices of Aero/SB, I'm not sure I can afford to get a jacket that I'm not 100% certain will fit properly on my body. Plus at a single glance, not many people can tell the quality, so... I think I might end up going for something a little more "mid range."
After some research, so far it seems like Master Supply might be my best option. It's a Canadian company, though the jackets are assembled in Pakistan, and I think this might be the most attractive/cost-effective option for me. I like The "Bonneville" because it LEANS heavily towards the rock/biker aesthetic without fully committing to it and making me look silly without a motorcycle. Plus tea core leather supposedly patinas faster, so... yeah.

As far as mid-range jackets go, is Master Supply a decent quality brand? Can I expect this jacket to last for much of, if not all the rest of my life? Or is this a brand that is actually significantly less quality than the ads imply? Feel free to correct me if I've made any incorrect assumptions.
Anyway I still have 32 pounds to lose before I reach my 200 lbs milestone. (Currently 232, down from 285!) So this isn't something I need to decide on immediately.
