Last year in Spring this jacket was released, so 17ish months ago. It was $899AUD(605USD) at the time which I thought was a little to expensive for the coat. Well today at the last day of the Boxing Day sales I purchased one for $299AUD(200USD). Plus with my $100 Gift card I only really end up paying $199 out of my own pocket. I say almost as it is paid for and being posted from another store. Again, it pays to be a regular and preferred customer. I was thinking of you and your jacket the entire time @Oscar de la Guardia The pinnacle of M.J.
