The Eagle wears leather. No, leather wears The Eagle!

The Eagle may appear to be superhuman, but he is, in fact, human.  He's a mortal, with immortal qualities.  Because he's human, he cannot escape the frigid colds that New England has to offer.  He needed more than just his high quality, trademarked The Eagle shawl.  But what material was of high enough quality to protect The Eagles shawl, as well as insulate him through the harsh winter months ahead.  He searched high and low, walking into stores, IN PUBLIC, looking for a coat.  But none seemed to satisfy his need for warmth and protection from his elements.  His elements being, explosions, fire, blood, glass and women.  As he was shopping he thought to himself, which he does very often, "what would Fonzie do?"  He knew right then, what he needed. 

So The Eagle trecked 80 miles up to New Hampshire during a nor-easter.  When he arrived, his clothes were frozen to his body, and he lost feeling in both hands and was seen by the store owner, lighting his cigarettes, and drinking his coffee using only his feet and elbows.   The store owner burst through the door, and asked if he was ok.  The Eagle just smiled, and some of his, now frozen, facial hair fell right off.  "Let me get you inside." the store owner said.  The Eagle looked at his cigarette as if to say "I'm bringin this with me."  The store owner said "Whatever" and brought The Eagle inside.

Once inside, The Eagle looked around and saw that he was surrounded by leather.  Leather pants, leather hats, and most importantly, leather jackets.  The eagle searched throught the jackets, tryin on the occasional one.  He saw a leather jacket with an eagle embroidered on it, but decided it was a bit too egotistical for his own taste.  At that point, he turned around, and saw the most perfect leather jacket he could imagine.  He flung his Roddy Piper-esque hair back, took the jacket off of the rack, and just admired it.  The salesman came over and asked "Is that the coat you're looking for?"  The Eagle said nothing, and just put it on.  It felt like putting on your favorite hat for the first time.  He smiled, turned to the salesman, and said, "I'm gonna take this."  The salesman told him that the price for that coat was $145.73.  The Eagle checked his pockets, and only found cigarette pack wrappers, a few coffee stirrers, 129 women's phone numbers, and .73 cents in change.  As the Eagle looked up to tell the man, that he can't afford it, the roof caved in. 

Wood and glass shattering everywhere, the salesman and owner both were knocked unconscious by what can only be described as the roof.  The Eagle rose from beneath a pile of leather coats and dust, and noticed the two men on the ground.  He immediately sprung into action, as he always does, lifting the beams and such off of the men.  After carrying over each man to a seat, he re-attached the peoples missing limbs, which there were 3 off.  (You don't want to know which ones.)  After he was done, and wiping the blood from his hands, he stood tall casting a shadow over the two men.  They looked up at him, and began to weep, "Keep the jacket, it's meant for you" the owner cried out.  The Eagle smiles, lights a cigarette, puts them in the inside pocket of his new jacket, and makes his way out of the store, onto another adventure resulting in cigarettes and coffee.
