How to choose a leather jacket

We are talking about leather jackets. When choosing this type of clothing is not counted for one or two seasons, and mostly for several years, so you always want to buy a really good quality product. To distinguish a fake from the original and to choose wisely, we recommend following a few rules.

1. The first thing to think about isplace of purchase. Factories that produce natural leather products, sell products primarily through branded salons or a network of well-known stores. In such places to buy a fake is almost impossible – the big sellers do not risk their reputation and sell only certified products, but you will have to pay a lot for them. Much cheaper to buy a leather jacket at retailers and markets. Here the buyer has to rely only on himself.
2. The second factor of choice isthe origin of the material. Buffalo leather is highly resistant to wear, it is hard and soft, not afraid of moisture, the structure is dense, preserves presentability at least 5 years. Cheaper will cost a jacket made of pigskin, but this quickly frayed and serves usually not more than 3-5 years with proper care and careful wear. Sheepskin leather is used to sew products of premium quality.

Sellers of large stores provide a warranty on leather products for at least 1 year. This is one of the fundamental factors in choosing a product made of natural material.

Now about how to identify genuine leather on your own:

1. Feel the material. Real leather quickly heats up and some time holds heat. Leather will be cold at hand for a long time – it has a high thermal conductivity, so products made of it are usually additionally insulated.
2. Find the edge– A jacket made of genuine leather is usually a place where the cut of the material can be seen – it is not tucked, because it does not wag, do not delaminate and does not lose its integrity.
3. Drop water on the material– After a few minutes, the natural leather will change color a little, but then return to the original. Leather doesn’t absorb moisture at all.
4. The previous drop test also helps to determine how well the jacket protects against getting wet in the rain. To do this, wet a light-colored cloth, run it over the jacket. The color of the fabric should not change – this indicates a quality impregnation.
5. Important!No scratches on real leather.
6. Sellers who sell jackets knowingly made of faux leather, none of the tests, other than tactile, do not give the buyer.

Other things to pay attention to:

1. Tailoring quality: the smoothness of the seams, the quality of the threads and the design of the hems;
2. Zippers in good working order;
3. In the presence of buttonsCheck the buttonholes – they should be well overstitched, and the hooks should also be firmly sewn;
4. Textile liningI would be suitable for warm seasons, fur (natural or artificial) – for cool. Better if it is sewn on rather than fixed with a zipper, which can break at the right moment;
5. Size of clothingShould be accurate, but no less, despite leather’s ability to stretch.
6. Model and style– matter of taste. It is better to wear short trousers for warm weather and below waist level for cold weather. Sleeve lengths from ½ to full, detachable collar, fitted or straight silhouette, classic zipper or leatherneck layout, colors – the jackets really can be chosen for any occasion and style.

Important:leather jacket to last a long time, it needs to be cared for – periodically remove stains, cleaned and impregnated with water-repellent compounds.
