Does Men's Wearhouse carry ostrich jackets?

Birds of a feather: The trial of Paul Manafort, President’s Trump’s former campaign manager, on bank and tax fraud charges began. Among the initial revelations were descriptions of some the things Manafort spent with his largess, including a $15,000 ostrich leather bomber jacket.

If you’re wondering why ostrich, it’s all the rage among those Trump supporters who spend so much time with their heads in the sand.

rare... I have seen ostrich leather cowboy boots.

For a while in the late 1980s it was the rage to buy a mating pair of ostriches and try to grow a flock (at least in part of the west).

Sort of like llamas or alpaca (grown for their wool).
