So, you’ve made the decision to buy a new leather jacket, but now you’re faced with the task of trying to choose the right one. There’s no denying the fact that leather jackets are stylish. Ever since they were first invented more than a century ago, they’ve been the go-to choice of outerwear among countless men and women alike. Leather jackets are soft, supple, comfortable, durable and stylish — a unique combination that’s not found in other coats or jackets. But with so many different types of leather jackets, you may struggle to choose one. Thankfully, there are a few things you can look for to identify a high-quality leather jacket, some of which we’re going to explore in this blog post.

Instead, it’s made of synthetic materials in an attempt to mimic the characteristics of its genuine counterpart. Unfortunately, faux leather jackets lack the style, comfort and durability of genuine leather jackets. For these reasons, it’s recommended that you stick with genuine leather when buying a new jacket.

If a leather jacket has a zipper on the front, for instance, take a moment to ensure...
