It's suede, $800 even in 1991. Prices for suede were sky high back then, now they've gone way down like
Cashmere.

George: "How much did you pay for this jacket?"
George: "Tell me you didn't pay $300 for this jacket"
Jerry *silent smirk*
George: "$400? Did you pay $400 for this jacket"
George: "Five---Hund-dred. You paid $500 for this jacket didn't you"
Jerry: *silence*
George: "Wait a second, are you trying to tell me you spent $700 for this jacket?!"
George: "Your a sick sick man"

Jerry doesn't respond. So he spent over $700.

In Can't Buy Me Love (1987), Cindy Mancini pays $1000 to replace her Mom's suede skirt and jacket.

So, $800 for Jerry's jacket in 1991 is not unreasonable.

It's actually insane to think how much many items used to cost 30-40 yrs ago, before everything was made in China.

Big Screen TVs that took up half your living room were $3000.

Suede and leather jackets - easily $400+

VHS tapes were $30-$60.

Nintendo and SNES systems basically the same price as today.

It's crazy to think about how anyone even afforded any of that stuff when the average gross salary was probably $18K a year, if that.
