Gift for Husband - Need Advice
|
|
My husband\'s birthday is coming up and he\'s been dropping hints about wanting a leather jacket for months. Problem is, I know nothing about men\'s leather jackets and don\'t want to mess this up! He keeps looking at tailored leather jacket options online but never pulls the trigger. I think he\'s worried about spending the money on himself, so I want to surprise him. He\'s 42, 5\'9\", has filled out a bit since we got married (in a good way!). Works in finance but dresses pretty casually on weekends. Loves classic rock and motorcycles, though he doesn\'t actually ride anymore. Style-wise, he gravitates toward timeless pieces over trendy items. His favorite colors are navy, brown, and black. He takes good care of his clothes and still has dress shirts from ten years ago that look new. Budget is around $400-600 for something really special. Should I go custom to ensure perfect fit, or is that too risky without his input? The timing might not work anyway since custom pieces take weeks. My biggest fear is getting the wrong size or style. He\'s particular about fit - not picky, just knows what works on his body. Should I recruit his brother to help with sizing, or would that ruin the surprise? Also wondering about shopping timing. Should I buy now for his birthday, or wait for potential holiday sales? Really want to get this right - any wives here with successful leather jacket gift experiences? |
