Leather Jackets in Mpls/St.Paul ?
Since Wilson's Leather s pretty much nonexistant now, and I refuse to order a leather jacket online, do you guys have any good reccomendations about where I can get a decent leather jacket in/near the Twin Cities? I don't want to waste money and look like a tool, so the many Harley Davidson locations close by are no good to me. I looked at Macy's downtown to see if they had any winter stuff on clearance, but the only women's leather jackets I could find were like a millimeter thick and cost about $4592834752984357. So yeah...any suggestions?

I can't give you a specific location up there since I'm down here, but I'd recommend checking out the scooter dealerships first, then the non-Harley motorcycle dealerships. Is there a decent Honda, Suzuki, or Yamaha dealership in your area? Those three companies are pretty big into the sport bike, dual sport, and off-road markets. Probably good bets on having a good amount of gear available to check out. For me, Triumph and Ducati dealership has some jackets I'm convincing myself I don't need.
Yeah, you want to avoid non-motorcycle (soft) leather. It doesn't offer any crash protection, which is what you're after.
