I found this beautiful Cut25 leather jacket second-hand, and was delighted to see that it was also made in the USA. The colors are perfect for spring, along with the fact that it doesn't zip or button. This is another piece I've been waiting and waiting to wear, and I was so happy to have nice weather the other weekend so I could finally sport it!

My favorite part is for sure the cut-out material sections in the back and under the arms, which look very sci-fi to me. Tune in later this week for a collection of fairly made spring jackets for your thoughtful consideration.

Below are the rest of the pack, from $48 on up to $500, and every single one is made in the USA.
