re: How much do you think Jerry’s jacket cost?

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.

Bought a Wilson leather jacket in 1995 (Donnie Brasco-esque) for just around that price.
Now they're half that at least.
But mine's still going strong despite being worn regularly in snow and cold in the past...just ages like an old comfortable baseball Mitt. Heavy, quality...which has gone down obviously, with cheaper Chinese production. You get what you pay for and nobody makes anything to last anymore.
