I had the Perrone leather jacket when I was at Skywest. I had it over seven years and the thing is bulletproof. It's expensive, but well worth the cost in my opinion. Another nice thing about the jacket is that it's very warm, and you won't have to pack an extra jacket on Winter layovers. Just take off the epaulettes and nametag. Perrone is also very good about supporting their product and will take care of you if something does break on the jacket. Hope this helps!
