I stopped in at a TJ Maxx tonight, trying to get some early holiday shopping done. Low and behold, what do I see staring at me in the men's dept, front and center? SchottNYC motorcycle jackets ! Red ones, Blue ones, in M, L, XL sizes. $99 bucks each. Vented, with all the elbow, shoulder, and back protection, plus the insulated liner. Well, I got a nice red one. Not a bad deal.
