Where's That Jacket From??

I keep getting asked where this jacket is from, even though I know I Tweeted about it. Why isn't everyone on Twitter with me??!!






It's from Gap and it's called the "moto jacket.".

Funny story about this jacket- The hubs went shopping with us one day and I pointed at it and said how much I loved it, but that it was $298 and I would NEVER spend that on a jacket. My friends even make fun of me because I have major anxiety about spending money on myself, or anyone else but Mia really.

He told me to try it on anyways so I thought "what the hell...why not?" I put it on and immediately decided it was the most flattering and perfect jacket I had ever put on and decided I couldn't not buy it, but I was going to wait until Wednesday because Gap was doing those Wednesday 40% off things.

I forgot to go on Wednesday and then again the following Wednesday and by the time I remembered, it was sold out of my size at all Gaps in Las Vegas. BUMMER. On Black Friday they did 50% off the entire store, so I went at 6am to get one, thinking the one in SAn Francisco area would have it. NO! No stores had one!! I called every store and even the ones in NYC and LA (if another Gap in another state has what you're looking for they will ship it to you for $6) and it was gone.

So imagine how excited I was when I opened a big box on Christmas morning with the jacket inside! Hubs bought it the next day after I tried it on in the store. (love him!) I was thrilled, but I also felt guilty because it was so expensive. I knew it was probably on sale by now and that Gap was offering 40% off sale prices so I tried to find another one and return mine so I could get the discount. I know that makes me sound really cheap, but I am cheap, and so us the hubs which is why I couldn't believe he bought it for me.

I finally told him to just return it because I couldn't justify the price. After he did his best at trying to make me keep it and forget about how much it cost, and I wouldn't budge, he returned it. BOO!

But then on my birthday I opened another big box and there was the jacket again! He found another one in my size and bought it and returned the old one (I never wore it and the tags were on), and the final price was $107!!! I still felt guilty about a ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR jacket, but he told me to stop being crazy and to put on the jacket.

And I did and we went to Serendipity and had ice cream.

It's sold out online, but I saw them on eBay for $150 the other day. Just search "gap leather moto jacket."

Thanks, hubs, for being awesome.
