[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9772225, member: 79705"]Definitely leather and probably 1990s. Another seller had this to say: "These prototypes were used by Donna Karen, staff and marketing representatives and often taken to the heads of upscale department stores for potential exclusivity and order. Once approved, these models were made for worldwide distribution, sometimes solely issued under the exclusive label of a particular major department store, other times they may just make the Donna Karan runway and production for that season." That tracks with what I know about samples. You might need to move a bit further north to use this one :playful:, but it's a cool piece. Leather jackets are hit or miss to sell unless it's designer or brand new. Best to look at what other vintage men's DKNY are selling for, that kinda look like this one, to price it.[/QUOTE]
