Chapter 78: Leather Clothes
Indeed, before coming, Jiang Hai did consider choosing this kind of clothes because it was really warm. Yesterday, he really envied him when he saw the clothes that Bell wore. However, after coming here, he found that this kind of clothes was actually the cheapest, and Jiang Hai didn't want to buy them very much, although he didn't like to compare. ↗
But now he is a rich man. If the clothes sold here are like this, then he will buy them. But he clearly saw something better, which made him unwilling to buy such a thing again.
"I want something better." Jiang Hai continued to say to him after waving his hand and interrupting the young man.
"Better? Let's look here..." After hearing what Jiang Hai said, the young man was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on his face became even stronger. He took Jiang Hai to a counter next to him and began to introduce the clothes here.
Basically, there are only three types of cold-proof clothes. The polyester mentioned above are of the same level as cotton. The better ones are down. Each type of down jacket is different, so the prices are also different.
In fact, people who don’t know down feel that this is the hair of ducks and big gooses? In fact, there are many kinds of downs. Generally speaking, goose down is better than duck downs. The goose downs that can be bought on the market are basically all on goose feathers, that is, cut off the feathers of goose and remove the stems in the middle. The fine hairs formed in this way are the down jackets sold outside.
However, this kind of velvet is not very good. The real good velvet is the thin layer of hair that is close to the body of the goose.
When Jiang Hai was in China, he heard Xu Wei say that a relative of Xu Wei’s family is from the countryside and specializes in raising geese. In late autumn, foreign merchants will go to the village to collect them.
It is sold by two. One or two liang of goose velvet, two or three hundred yuan, so don’t think it’s expensive. You should know that this kind of velvet may not be collected by ten big gooses. However, this kind of goose velvet-filled down jacket will only cost a few liang, which will be very warm.
If such down jackets are sold out, if they don’t sell them for six or seven thousand, they will be ruthless.
Even good ones will be sold for tens of thousands or tens of thousands, which is comparable to mink fur.
Of course, the Americans don’t pay attention to these things. The down jackets here are the ones that have been removed from the hair, and the ones sold are not cheap. A down jacket, which is more beautiful, has to be sold for about 300 US dollars. This is equivalent to two thousand soft girls coins.
Jiang Hai looked at the down jacket and couldn't help but curl his lips. To be honest, he felt that buying a down jacket at this price was not worth it.
Perhaps seeing that Jiang Hai was not very satisfied with this, the young man here couldn't help but smile.
"If it's better than down jackets, there are only leather jackets! But this thing is cheap and expensive." Looking at Jiang Hai, the people here couldn't help but speak, but Jiang Hai became interested after hearing what he said.
"Where is it?" I looked around and found that although the store is not small, there is no place for leather jackets.
"I'll take it out for you later. You don't know that the people from the Animal Protection Association are the most annoying. The country allows us to sell it, but these guys come to find trouble every few days and have to put these things in it." When the young man walked in, he said helplessly. When he heard his words, Jiang Hai suddenly remembered the dog lover.
"Didn't you say that you won't be allowed to sell leather clothes now?" Jiang Hai couldn't help but ask curiously as he followed him.
"I'm not allowed to sell wolves, bears, other deer skins, mink skins, rabbit skins, and fox skins. I don't have mink skins here. You and I go to a big shopping mall, but the ones sold there are also more expensive. Now, it's impossible to get a whole mink skins without a 3,000-meter knife." Seeing Jiang Hai very interested, the young people here also introduced them to Jiang Hai.
Although the U.S. had 300 million people, it was considered to be vast and sparsely populated. In addition, the protection of wild animals was strong, so many animals in the U.S. were all disasters. For example, the most famous deer was not only caused by disasters in Canada, but was allowed to be hunted. The same was true in the U.S., because people in European and American countries almost do not eat wild animals. Unlike in China, wild game is a rare treasure. However, in Europe and the United States, people here believe that the meat on wild animals is too dry, that is, it is too thin. While the taste is not good, the wild smell is still not as good as that of domestic animals.
And the most important thing is that there are parasites on these wild animals. If they cannot be killed, it will be troublesome if they eat them. However, it is fatal. Therefore, in the United States, more than 98% of people do not eat wild animals.
Except for some wild enthusiasts who sometimes offer to slap teeth, they rarely eat these. They would rather kill rabbits and deer than eat them, but they would not eat meat and internal organs, but the skin can be peeled off to make a leather jacket.
However, this thing cannot be sold openly, because the people of the Animal Protection Association will scold the government to death.
It is precisely because of the domineering nature of this association that, except for some foreign luxury stores that sell fur, no domestic store will place fur on the surface. Even if it is sold, it is all artificial fur, which is much cheaper than the real ones.
If it weren't for Jiang Hai's appearance as an oriental person, the clerk might not have brought him these leather jackets.
Shortly after the clerk entered the warehouse, he carried out a lot of leather jackets.
The styles of these leather jackets are very simple, unlike the many types in China, without so many styles, and there are not so many styles. The only thing that surprised Jiang Hai was that these leathers were really thick. In China, they would stretch some of them. The original ten-centimeter leather was pulled to twenty centimeters or even thirty centimeters. The leather jacket here was one centimeter, and Jiang Hai picked up one casually and blew it. This was the way to tell whether the leather jacket was good when his mother was still alive. If the bottom was exposed, it would not be a good leather jacket. It was stretched too much. If the bottom was not exposed, it would be good.
As a result, this blow, let alone the bottom of the situation, Jiang Hai looked at it at a glance and was full of hair, which was really real.
"The leather jackets in our store are not fancy. The only advantage is that they are thick and cheap. These are deer-skinned. The numbers are different and the prices are different. The small ones are $400, and the extra-large ones are $600. I think you can wear medium sizes... These ones are fox leather, which is cheaper, $200 per piece, and rabbit ones are cheaper, and about $100 per piece..." Hearing the introduction of the person beside him, Jiang Hai couldn't help but curl his lips. One hundred a piece, and two hundred a piece, he might as well buy a down jacket. The only deer-skinned coat that looks similar to a woolen coat, not what Jiang Hai likes.
So he kept choosing the leather jackets that this man took out, but after picking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up. In his sight, a coat appeared in front of him. The coat looked a bit like the deer-skin, and it was also yellow, but the hair was longer than the deer-skin, which gave Jiang Hai a very rough feeling.
Seeing this coat, Jiang Hai couldn't help but take up the clothes. Seeing Jiang Hai's actions, the young man who was still talking here also opened his mouth in surprise. He didn't pay attention to how to take out the clothes just now.
"What kind of skin is this?" Looking at the young man, Jiang Hai said curiously. Through the touch on his hands, Jiang Hai could feel that this skin was much heavier than deer skin. Although it was still almost none of its style, it gave people an extremely heavy feeling.
"This is, the mountain lion skin. To be honest, this is really not allowed to be sold." Looking at Jiang Hai's words, his eyes lit up. The young clerk shrugged helplessly. The mountain lion appeared in Winthrop at the beginning of this year. He injured two people and was shot and killed by the town police station. The town government wanted to sell the skin and subsidize the government subsidy. Such things are not uncommon in the small town of the United States. They were originally looking for a good buyer, but this matter was stabbed into the Animal Protection Association by a female policeman in the town. As soon as the association interfered, the town could not sell it.
In the end, I had to ban it from this store. Before I knew it, I had been banned for a year, so naturally the store was not sold.
"Since I'm going to sell it, I'm very interested in this leather." Jiang Hai tried it with the leather jacket, not to mention it, it's a little bigger, but overall it's pretty good. The most important thing is that Jiang Hai likes this thing.
"It's okay to sell you. After all, this thing was originally meant to be sold, but first of all, this thing is not cheap. Secondly, if you are found by the Animal Protection Association because of this thing, it has nothing to do with us." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, ordinary clerks on the US side did not have the intention of playing hard to get, and it would be quite troublesome to put this thing here.
Since Jiang Hai is not short of money and wants to buy it, he should sell it to him directly.
"No problem, I have to ask clearly first. If I wear this thing, the police won't arrest me." After thinking about it, if I wear tiger skin or lion skin clothes in China, I will really be invited to have coffee. I won't be the same in the United States, so he has to consider whether to buy it or not.
"Don't worry about this. The trademark sewn in your clothes is numbered on it. It is a number allowed by the government. The police will not care about you. The only thing you need to worry about is the Animal Protection Association, that's all." After shrugging, the young clerk said. When he heard his words, Jiang Hai was relieved. This mountain lion leather coat costs Jiang Hai two thousand US dollars, but Jiang Hai was still very happy to buy it. In addition, he bought a large deer leather, a down jacket, a military polyester fiber clothing, pants and shoes, which combined together.
"How do you sell this thing?" After confirming the clothes, Jiang Hai pointed his hand at the bow hanging on the wall.
