New Southwest Leather Jacket for Sale 380 OBO

Hey all,
I am a newhire selling my SWA leather jacket. It was shipped to me the first week of March so it is still practically brand new. I will not need it anymore.
It is Large
It has the removable interior liner and SWA logo on the interior.
I will include the epaulettes.
I paid about 420 for it, I would like to start at 380 but will entertain any reasonable offer.
I will pay for shipping.

Thanks!

You try Ebay?

No I thought I'd offer here first. I'd rather sell to a newhire for less than what they'll pay perrone before I sell to some dude off the street on eBay.

I never wore mine so I contacted Perone Leather and they agreed to give me a full refund so I fed exed it back to them. They were good to their word.

How much does Perrone sell them for?
I never bought mine because of the Karbon jacket

Extra "international muffin" pocket stitched into left breast area.

I own one...here's my quick review:
It's a nice jacket, good quality. It keeps you warm. You will never need the liner unless you decide to work on the ramp one day. I bought the liner and used it once.
The only thing I don't like about it is that it is HEAVY. Bringing it with you on a trip is like bringing a 20 pound dumbbell that you can wear. The 95 percent of the time I don't wear it, I am either carrying in on my bag clumsily or forgetting it hanging up in the cockpit.
$380 is an exceptional deal for a new one and you won't have to wait the four months it takes Perone to select the calf to slaughter, fatten it up, put the lotion on its skin and then make the thing. They take forever. If you are going to buy one and you are a large, get this one. You will be glad you didn't have to deal with Perone.
Personally, if I had to do it all over again, I would opt for the Karbon Star Trek jacket or just not buy one at all and pop a north face on once the parking brake is set which is what I do half the time now.
