Exclamation Himalaya Leather, Anyone bought from this website?

I found this biker leather website called Himalaya Leather.

http://himalayaleather.com/index.php

Their prices are below wholesale?

Has anyone had a good or bad experience with them?

They say they're from Washington state, and they answered their phone.

You know the saying: "If it looks too good to be true..."

I don't expect Italian leather works quality and for the cheap price would easily replace every year, I just want to know if anyone has gotten ripped-off.

Thanks Brothers.

Never heard of them either.

For the price I'd give them a try. As a matter of act my birthday is a couple months away and I just might for the hell of it.

Their sizes look strange. XL is a 44.

Update:
1. I did a reverse address search, found their neighbors, found the property manager, and she says they have been in business for years.
2. Did a Spokane BBB search (Susanna International) and they are not a BBB member and there was 1 complaint in 36 months regarding Shipping delay.

So, make sure your CC or bank is behind your purchases and take a chance.

I may call and ask questions about size to see how they deal with it or ask where my order is and see if they are helpful.

Ironically, someone charges REAL product value and we suspect them, yet we pay inflated prices on other items probably made in China anyway, and trust them because of branding.

I'm not bitter, just thinking out loud.

I have a Himalaya jacket. It's pretty decent quality - not Fox Creek Leather quality, but as good as the jackets I've looked at in Harley dealerships. It has thick leather and is heavy. I believe the model number is HL-204. I didn't buy mine directly from this shop and I paid $99 for it. I think it's definitely worth their asking price. Yes, it is made in Pakistan.

Heck, for those prices, it's almost worth taking a chance to see what their stuff is like.
