rather, a jacket like a motorcycle jacket. And it probably wasn't made from *an* ostrich but from skins from several birds. It's not all that different, except in cost, from a leather jacket made from a cow. I don't understand the surprise about this garment. Ostrich skin accessories are quite common--little things, like change purses and glasses cases because they don't cost $15,000.
