I really like the coat for only 5 dollars! Sounds like an absolute steal if you ask me!

I've always wanted one of those like the black coat for 5 dollars, looks so stylish and a great mix between something serious but also can be worn anywhere. Sadly I can't seem to find them at a good price

I never really saw the difference between expensive jeans and cheap ones, I think it's crazy some stores charge over 80 euros just for the jeans..
