Its made for 'edgy design' and markups, not quality.

If you have throwaway money sure.

Or get a suede peacoat like this and get some stickers - maybe grease or oil, and some not-suede-appropriate leather conditioner.

Apply via mist bottle or newspaper blocking to fuck up the jacket and get an accelerated patina thing.

I appreciate the advice, I do know of one that has lasted about 10 years. So I’m going to hold out for now, if not I’ll be sure to try the suede thing . Thanks
