: I'm a poor College student and big time Indy geek and this puppy actually fits my budget!! I'm really excited but want to know if anybody has ever seen this jacket in real-life?
: I'm willing to deal with inaccuraacies than to not have one!
: Here's the link to the jacket mentioned-

: search for:diesel leather jacket
: For $79 bucks I can only wish it's a decent jacket.

: Any help on this puppy would be great!

: Thanks

Yes, I've got one and its not a bad jacket for the money. The main design flaws are a seam right down the back panel and the storm flap is a little too wide. The leather is a very dark brown Diesel (I'm not sure why they call it that), sort of distressed suede. I put snaps under the collar to hold'em down and pulled out all the insulation (I live in Georgia)to lighten it up. You really can't beat that price. Oh, and it sizes rather large. I had to have a tailor take up the sleeves. Hope this helps.
Cheers!
