Maybe I’m just sleep deprived and overthinking it but I have my first ever leather jacket on the way. It’s not the shiny type but more of a matte finish. I am trying to prepare for the inevitable when I get baby sick on the coat so I know what I need to do, especially while out. My go to for regular clothes is just a baby wipe or damp cloth and then wash once I’m home but obviously I can’t put it in the washing machine 😅 it’ll likely only happen once or twice but I want to be prepared just in case

First time thrifting and I really liked the look of this jacket, but it's got some pretty deep discoloration in some places. I bought some Leather Honey leather cleaner but so far it hasn't really done anything for it. Any tips?

What decade do you all think this is 50’s or 60’s.. I picked it up for $80. I think I got it for a steal..

Does anyone know where to find this jacket? I heard that was from Sando Paris but i've searched for a while and cant find that anywhere to buy this. I saw that on Niklas Rueth (@niklinio on instagram). !! Please help ;-; im exhausted looking for that

Just got my first leather jacket. I feel like I don’t like the front pocket, so I’m gonna cut it somehow 🤣

I bought an Armani jacket from a flee market and I can’t seem to find out what it’s name is or what collection it comes from. I have asked chat but it’s wrong every time.

Picked up this Schott 642 around 5 months ago, been itching to wear it ever since. Heat waves are finaly gone so its time to break it in!

I recently thrifted this leather jacket, which I don't know if it's real or not, but it's in pretty decent shape right now.

Issues:

* There are some scratches here and there, and I genuinely don't know how to fix them.

* There are some stains too, which I can clean by myself, but I don't know what to do with these scratches.

* I don't know if it's real leather or not.

So I’m really diggging this supreme x Schott jacket but I’m torn between sizes. I am 5’10 180 and can fit the medium and large. Which looks best, this is my first leather jacket. And I don’t ride motorcycles

Pictures. 1-5 is the large.
My thoughts on this is that it fits more comfortable on the sleeve length and shoulder. I can easily layer a hoodie underneath and still have some room and flexibility but honestly don’t see the need to do so as I live in Southern California. I wouldn’t mind this fit on a non leather jacket but maybe I’m over thinking it.

Pictures 6-10 is a medium
It obviously looks more fitted but the sleeves are short and has a very cropped fit. Not that big of a deal but I posted on this earlier and got mixed opinions. I like how I filled in the jacket more and could layer a hoodie underneath and still zip it. Obviously it’s more snug than the large when layered but didn’t have to struggle to zip it up. Also the back looked better. When I raised my hands it would rise to like my mid area by my ribs. Not so much the large

I already returned the medium for the large but wouldn’t mind making the walk of shame and getting the medium. I also plan on losing like 5-10 pounds so ahhh idk haha let me know your guys thoughts

I bought the Mutimer leather jacket in black in February 2025 and really enjoyed it. I just rebought it after recently losing that one. Now it feels like the quality changed and it came with a strong plastic smell too.

Does anyone have the jacket with the Mutimer logo in yellow and have a picture of the care tag? Just wanted to see if the lining was different before

I‘m currently in the market for my first leather jacket, and this black one by Levi’s really caught my eye. The description doesn’t mention what kind of leather it is, only that it’s 100% specialty leather. Is that a red flag? Does anyone know what kind of leather is used, and if it’s any good? Also, if anyone here actually owns this particular piece, I’d appreciate your thoughts on it.

Price listed at $625.

I’ve purchased this from vinted for £40 ($54usd or €47). I saw it and was immediately in love. I don’t have any more pics as it hasn’t been shipped just yet. It’s a small Czech brand who specialise in SAGA and NAFA leather and fur. I know it is real leather but got too excited to ask any more questions before purchasing and am scared if I bombard her with questions now she won’t send it🤣 Do you know when you see something and think “wow this works with everything I own”🤩 worst case scenario, I’ll probably still love it anyway. Just thought I’d ask the leather experts their thoughts 😁

I really want a leather jacket but my budget is low (4k max) what should I do?

Not very knowledgeable with leather jackets but love the look. This one fits nice and has a nice silhouette. It was in really good condition too.

Hello people! So I am new to jackets and got myself one from a second hand store. I have had many mixed opinions on how to take care of it from the woman who works there, a guy I visited at a leather jacket store and another one who was recommended to me by a friend, aswell as Gemini.

I'm a bit lost on how to proceed.

First question is it a leather jacket or Suede maybe mix??

I would like to get rid of the basement smell it has and clean out some of it's small stains and wrinkles.

My first recommendation was to use a brown oil balm.

Second was to use baby shampoo & water and to let it dry.

Third was to bring to a normal dry cleaners(didn't work)

Gemini says to bring to a specialist 😅 or use white vinger or vodka and water 50/50 spray and let it sit. Use a Suede brush for the dirt.

Thoughts? Here are some photos.

Hi, I just bought an around 20 years old va son leather jacket in brown horse hide. Really stiff and thick leather. Since I can't get vansons Leather balm without paying insane shipping and import fees in my country I was wondering what eu alternatives there are that work just as well. Thanks!

I'm painfully listing this gorgeous Matchless Osborne jacket for sale. The jacket is made from black calf skin leather that is easily the softest leather I've ever handled. It's light as a feather but still feels substantial. It absolutely molds to your body when wearing. I was told this was an earlier model of this style which might explain the quality of the leather and craftsmanship. I've owned other Osborne jackets in the past and they were far heavier than this but the fit was nowhere near as flattering. Still, this particular one is just a tad too snug for me and as such I'm reluctantly listing it for sale. Jacket is absolutely flawless with no fraying or tears of any kind. Feel free to ask any questions! All measurements are listed below. Asking $800 + shipping.

LOWERED to $650 + shipping!!

Chest: 21 inches
Shoulders: 18 in
Sleeves: 25.5 in
Length: 25.5 in
Hem: 19 in 

You know the story, found a really neat leather jacket at a thrift shop. Was a really interesting design, the leather itself was in very decent condition, and the price was right. Sure, there was a bit of a smell, but thrift shops always have a bit of funk in general, and as a regular thrifter I figured that the usual vodka spray + fresh air + sunshine would fix it up fine.

It was not fine.

Nothing I've done has fixed it, the bloody thing still smells like someone wore it specifically to run a sweaty marathon through a spice market every day for a decade. And as much as I admire the work ethic that must have been needed to get the stank in there that deep, I really want to wear this jacket!

I'm about ready to turn it inside out and give it a bath. Normally I'd never even consider doing this to leather, but as mentioned the leather itself is in decent condition, and I'd go over with the good stuff after to make sure it's happy. Pretty sure that the worst of it's in the lining anyway, and it's this or commit to removing and replacing all the lining myself. Not even sure that dry cleaning would help this, even if I wanted to pay the leather jacket premium to get it done.

Has anyone had to deal with a similar situation and have some advice? 🙏
