"How much should a leather jacket cost in Istanbul?" comes up constantly, and prices move with the lira. Let's build a list of real purchases.
If you bought a leather jacket (or bag, or shoes) in Turkey, please reply with:
When (month and year) and where (Grand Bazaar, a shop in town, a tour stop, a shopping centre)
What: lambskin, cowhide, goatskin, suede; style
Off the rack or made-to-measure — and how many days it took
Price paid (and the first price you were quoted, if you remember)
How it has held up since you got home
If you were taken to a leather "factory" or fashion show on a tour, tell us about that too — what you saw, and whether the price compared with shops in town.
