Yea, I'm talking about A*s, I'm not sure what Kushitani has to do with this. If a Kushitani or Dainese or even A* jacket was "only" $200 more than the Icon (about 30%), I could see it but when it's $269 vs $1300, aw hell no!!!
I've owned 5 "high end" jackets in my life, 2 Dainese, 1 Vanson, 1 Spidi and 1 Kushitani. I hated the cut of the last three and they ended up returned. I still have the Dainese. I'm not saying that the premium jackets weren't better (notice I didn't count the 2 A* jackets I own) BUT they weren't worth $1300 to me and there's no way I would give more that $500 for an A* jacket period! If you believe that a Kushitani, Dainese, Rev It, RS Taichi, etc jacket is somehow worth $1300, well more power to you sister! As long as the jacket in question is made from cow leather, I don't see it. I don't care who makes it.
