I’ll admit, in sunny and warm Florida I don’t need thicker jackets very often. But when it gets cold here, believe it or not, it can get cold. Before you criticize my commentary, know that I am from New England, so I know real cold. I digress. The point is, I don’t get to stretch my stylish jacket chops often. But I do travel every year to spend time with family and so I still need warm, winter-friendly jackets for that, and for the month or two when it’s cold in my home state. That means I need a versatile jacket I can wear in many types of weather. Cue the leather jacket, or more specifically The Jacket Maker’s leather jackets. There’s a reason they landed a spot on our list of the best leather jackets for men.

Regardless, right now, they’re offering a flat 20% off all jackets with free shipping and extended exchange options — if you’re not happy. There are a few jackets available, and they all look snazzy, but the one I settled on is the . Normally $395, it’s down to $316 with the Black Friday sale saving you $79. To me, this jacket is worth the cost, and the presentation of the shipment was just incredible. Let’s discuss.

There are a ton of great jackets in this sale and they all have varying styles. For example, the is sleek, sexy and, well, biker-friendly. It’s also $239 for Black Friday, normally $299. But comparing that to the , you immediately see the differences, not just in color but overall design. That’s on sale, too, down to $308 instead of $385.

I find the interesting, which definitely has some high-fantasy vibes going on? Also on sale, by the way, for $236 instead of $295.

But, as you know, I settled on the Sheriff Brown Suede Jacket. It’s thick enough to keep me warm during cold weather, but light enough to wear in the interim weather. The outside is real leather made of goat skin, with a suede finish and faux fur liner that’s super comfortable and soft. The collar style is a high neck on this one but when folded down it doesn’t get in the way and I can wear it in any configuration. Sometimes I want that collar popped, sometimes I don’t so that’s great.

The real stunner was the presentation of the shipment. It came packed and organized so nice, with a companion sleeve to store the jacket in, a tasteful thank-you note, and a small leather-wrapped notebook. No, that doesn’t necessarily add a ton of extra value, but it’s nice to see some thought put into the experience. I mean, if you’re getting a jacket anyway it’s just a nice little gesture.

If you need a jacket, want to add to your collection, or just want to stay warm this winter, I suggest browsing the sale. I certainly benefited from it.

This Montblanc watch looks like a Patek Philippe, and it’s 20% off
The Montblanc Star Legacy Moonphase on a man's wrist.

If you've been browsing luxury watches, you'll likely familiar with Patek Philippe's gorgeous watches. We're particularly enthralled, for example, with the Patek Complications series, a series of watches that often feature gorgeous moon phase dials. Unfortunately, these watches can cost nearly as much as the typical American's annual wage, with the cheapest costing somewhere around $43k!

To give you the chance at owning a watch with a glorious 'complication' (a watchmaker's term for a mechanical extra not related to the time of day) that rivals those of Patek Philippe, we've found a great offering from Montblanc. Montblanc is a Swiss watch brand known for creating luxury watches, pens, and premium leather goods, meaning their watches are still premium (and pricey) but are actually affordable for mere mortals. Montblanc's Star Legacy Moonphase 42mm watch, which features a moon phase dial that we would swear was a Patek Complications dial, normally costs $5,700, but is down to $4,560 while this offer lasts. That's $1,140 off for you if you tap the button below.
