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.

There's also a $9,500 ostrich vest from Alan Couture,
from the invoices, but sadly no photo.

Also an $18,500
python jacket, guessing it's this:
