Yea, it was 49.99 at arden mall. They had 2 racks. One with it listed as 79.99 and another listed as 49.99 they were actually the same exact jacket and both will racks will ring up at 49.99.

hmmm.. I have that nylon one to return... i think i'll change it for this one....

 

[kurupt]

fyi: picked up a brown large at the union square BR last night - they had quite a few left in black, brown, and grey.

 

[TurtleMan]

umm got the jacket last yr ... it was 49.99 ....

 

[The_Dude8]

too bad this jacket require dry clean only. how often should this jacket be dry klean??

 

[Uclagamer_99]

depends on how often you wear the jacket dude and how much money you got...dry cleaning can get expensive if all your clothes are dry clean only

 

[SeiyaMan]

is it just me or is the jacket super short. It doesn't look like a bomber jacket. I saw at least 30 in my store with all colors and sizes, but didn't get one

 

[The_Dude8]

anyone try the dryers [sp] self cleaning kit that u can put it in the dryer for do it yourself dry cleanning?

 

[elfbomber]

How thick is this jacket, is this like a Winter jacket or can it be used during cold windy nights?

 

[jthsmak]

I think I saw this jacket in the store, looks nice.

 

[Lattiz]

Yeah the jacket is a bit short but BR's stuff is like that, really fitted. It's quite warm, I can go around the bay area at night with only it and a t-shirt and I'm just dandy. I've had a version of that jacket for 3 years and I've only dry cleaned it once and it cost me 9 bucks I believe.

Get it, its nice! : )

Just curious as to where someone saw the leather jacket for $100. I checked local BR (Cambridge, MA) with not luck. Jacket seems good for the price, but I don't think it's warm enough to withstand Boston weather. For all you people is nicer climates (e.g. Dallas, my hometown), I'd go for it!

AT Forums are the best!

Yeah I scored one of these jackets at the Denver Pavilions store (sorry no more at that store). Its a nice jacket except for the elastic band around the back and the shortness
of it. The new ones are out also, they look a lot better, but not for 155 bucks. They are longer, down to the thighs about and no elastic band stuff.

BTW they have lots of the $49 in all colors at the cherry creek store in Denver, I just got back from there.

I bought the black version of the jacket today for my dad... he liked it but my mom said it looked silly on him... so I guess i'll keep it.

As for the leather jacket... that was a while ago... I bought that jacket and i'll be returning it because, I want something thigh length...

BTW... they have these pretty sweet pants for $10.00... i got three pair

 

[The_Dude8]

xyyz, could u describe what the pant looks like that u got for $10?

 

[EliteForces]

correct me if i am wrong but isn't there a coupon out ther for b.r.?

I remember seeing something for b.r. or abercrom i forget.

<< xyyz, could u describe what the pant looks like that u got for $10? >>



they had 5 colors... this greyish-blue, brown, light-khaki, beigeish-khakhi and a greyish-green.... hmm how can I describe em.... they're like really loose army pants... the pockets are sewn on the outside... the pockets in the back have buttons... they were originally 59, then 39 then 24 and now 9.99.

later today, I'll get the receipt from the car and give you the exact name.

 

[Lattiz]

The pants are called Artillery Chinos, they're pretty thick material-wise. I grabbed a bunch myself for gifts and whatnot. They are wide leg so probably not for everyone.

Keep in mind they have button-flies tho! (What the heck is the point of a button-fly anyway?) But for 10 bucks, u cant really go wrong. : )

G'luck

 

[ieee]

ahh, thanks

 

[xyyz]

yeah artillery chinos... and they are pretty baggy...

you might need to have the store to a pricematch against another store to get the $9.99 pricetag. that's what I needed to do.
