Ok, we're a little worried that the Ace Hotel may just be getting a little too cool for school. Wait, what are we talking about? They've always been that way. The only difference now is that you can show off your allegiance to the hip brand by wearing one of their new "Letterman jackets".

Retailing at around $300, the jackets are (surprise!) handcrafted in Washington, by a 73-year-old family-run company, using pure Melton wool from Oregon. Got all that? Oh, and they look pretty good, too.

There are exceptions of course, usually on the higher end of the spectrum (see: offerings from <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/ritz-carlton%20hotels">Ritz-Carlton</a> properties and <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Beverly+Hills+Hotel/local/1713">The Beverly Hills Hotel</a>, for instance). <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Ace%20Hotels">Ace</a> properties, however, have done a stand up job in reversing the middling retail reputation of hotels.
