00:00 Leather Jackets: Introduction

Leather jackets have long been a signature staple of classic casual menswear. And ever since the bomber jacket’s introduction as a military-issued garment during the early 1900s, few items have given off a casually cool aesthetic quite like they can.

We now see many brands marketing “cheap” leather jackets. And some of them might not even be made from leather! While it might be easier to spot a synthetic jacket when next to genuine leather, there are many leather jackets on offer at a fraction of the average price.

01:15 What is a “Cheap” or “Expensive” Jacket?

Based on our research, a “cheap” leather jacket is anything offered new below $300 and an “Expensive” leather jacket is anything over $800 new. Within this higher price point, you’re guaranteed to find leather jackets from high-end designer brands.

03:25 Defining Factors: 1. Leather Quality
07:00 2. Construction
08:48 3. Functionality
10:32 4. Styling

With all of these factors in mind, it’s clear that all leather jackets are not created equal. A company being able to claim that a jacket is “100% leather” simply doesn’t tell you enough about its actual quality. Instead, it takes a careful eye to truly understand what standards of quality go into an expensive leather jacket, and only then can you determine if it lives up to those qualities.
