You're talking about the Alpinestars right? Because I thought Kushitani jackets were about $700 or so.

![]() I've owned 5 "high end" jackets in my life, 2 Dainese, 1 Vanson, 1 Spidi and 1 Kushitani. I hated the cut of the last three and they ended up returned. I still have the Dainese. I'm not saying that the premium jackets weren't better (notice I didn't count the 2 A* jackets I own) BUT they weren't worth $1300 to me and there's no way I would give more that $500 for an A* jacket period! If you believe that a Kushitani, Dainese, Rev It, RS Taichi, etc jacket is somehow worth $1300, well more power to you sister! As long as the jacket in question is made from cow leather, I don't see it. I don't care who makes it. |

See I don't believe there's any jacket costing 1300 except for that Gore-Tex Alpinestars you posted.

Well, I went looking for Kushitani and I'm wondering where she buys it? The Kushitani web site is from 2006 as is the last web-zine write up I could find. What is kool is that I found my old Kushitani jacket... I couldn't find my old two piece gloves though. I understand that Kush raises their own cows and makes nothing but super high quality gear, I get it. Yet still their jackets aren't over $600.

Horribly out of style as well. How long have they had that Dragon design, like 10 years at least? Lol....

Something I have found is dual sport gear is ridiculously expensive for something that isn't leather...
