Jacket feels and looks more expensive than it is.  The gold dusted black is rich and soft, size is just right (I got a medium and am a slender 5'5" ).  It looks like real leather, no one has been able to tell the difference.  The best part is that I can just toss it into the wash when it gets dirty!  It is more for looks than warmth, but in southern California we do not really need that much warmth anyway, so it works for me.  Great jacket and would recommend it!
