Several years ago I bought a leather coat for $29 and a bomber jacket for the same price. Both had minor damage (a small tear). I had the repairs done for $20 and took the coats to a dealer who said they would sell for $250 each. Warning: NEVER DRINK THE COFFEE!

They HAVE to say selected styles with an ad like that. If they don't, how many people are going to walk and and try to pick up a free T-shirt. Hey John, Just had a completely random thought.

Presumably you are being charged by the button or belt loop since larger sizes would have more of those items so it would be a way of scaling the prices based on size but ...
