Playboy leather is a leather shop like none other. Mr.Joe has everything and if he doesn't have it in your size give him 2 weeks and he will custom make it for you.....i've had a cropped riding duster made and an authencity harley davidson motorcycle jacket made.....so has my husband....he can even make intimates like leather panties and bras and S&M wear.....anything your heart desires Mr. Joe can make. i also have a leather snap up shirt

What to buy: I especially like his jackets.....you can have it custom made in any color that he has and he has a number of colors

What to pay: for my duster i paid $180 and for my harley jacket $240 plus another $80 for my shirt.....
