Buffalo Jackson Trading Co. review

Buffalo Jackson Trading Co. is the value pick for a real leather jacket. Its men's collection page says every jacket is real leather and most are full-grain, designed in Matthews, North Carolina since 2009 and made with partner workshops in Mexico and India. Prices run from $399.95 to $1,195, so a full-grain jacket costs less than half the cheapest Schott Perfecto. The page also compares each style in a table: the Legacy in full-grain cowhide is $489.95, the Driggs trucker is $459.95 and the Maverick lambskin bomber is $429.95. The Maverick page lists full-grain lambskin with a distressed finish, a detachable sherpa collar and a quilted nylon lining. Every jacket comes with 30-day returns, free return shipping on exchanges and a one-year warranty. You give up US manufacturing and the long repair programs of Vanson and Schott.
