But yeah, otherwise, I can't see why these stuck up name brands charge what they do other than morons like to pretend they're better, or cooler than the people who can't afford them, and continue forking over the cash. Honestly, like I said, look at the labels on all those super, high-end brands. They're all made in China, just like the "poor people" brands. It would be different if they were made in Italy, or something, but that's not the case, so I don't care WHO'S name is on it. It ain't worth anywhere near the retail prices in my eyes.

There is a huge difference in the quality of leather, if there was such a thing anymore... unfortunately most are made with the same xxxxty leather, from the same xxxxty countries. Past generations used to buy a pair of leather shoes or jacket and wear them for 20 years. Nowadays you buy them cheap, and they last a year or two until they start to fall apart.

Quality clothing like that still exists, though I think it's a waste of money ($300+ for shirts, $500+ for shoes...etc) but every man who considers himself a professional should own at least 1 high quality tailored suit, shirt, and the classic high quality shoes you speak of. I wouldn't spend the money on those quality leather jackets though (well into the $1000s).

Not really, back in the days all the "rabiz" people used to wear it.
Now almost everyone has it.

If you need special conditions to wear a leather jacket get rid of it. If the leather is of good quality and properly cared for the use should be minimal and take years to take effect. Most leather jackets do gain character for being worn though so that's not even a bad thing.
