A BUNCH OF steep after-Christmas markdowns on men’s and women’s clothes. Nothing says “recession” like $80 leather jackets.

UPDATE: Reader Darren Miller emails:

There’s a chain of stores called Leatherworks–I’ve seen them in Virginia City and Reno, Nevada, and Old Sacramento, CA–in which *everything* in the store is $20 or under. Leather jackets, “chaps”, laptop cases, briefcases, you name it.

Don’t trust those discounted chaps. They don’t hold up under hard use.
