I needed a second black leather jacket for the summer but couldn't afford the full price.
I came across this website and was initially hesitant because I'd never heard of it before, but after reading the reviews, I decided to give it a try.
I'm so glad I did! I ordered a Maclean Classic Jacket, the ordering process was easy and fast, the jacket was wrapped in a professional manner and it was very easy to carry in my handbag.
The jacket was just what I was looking for and looked exactly like the photo.
It's also made of high-quality leather (much superior to my other jacket) and fits wonderfully.
overall I've had a wonderful experience.
I ordered on a Thursday and received my package on Monday.
I wholeheartedly endorse
