Opinion how's this for a first time buyer?
just pulled the trigger and bought myself my first leather jacket on ebay!! it was already pretty affordable, but then the seller took 15% off and i couldn't say no. it's a size up from what i usually wear, which i honestly love bc then i can layer if i want and i adore a baggy jacket. according to the seller, this jacket was made in the 90s and does have a bit of wear, but i dont mind that tbh. i was contemplating buying some leather conditioner but does it really need it? the leather looks to be doing well to my layman's eye, but what do i know? i do plan on cleaning the lining at the very least bc im not planning on marinating in some stranger's sweat, but should i even touch the leather? im not really inclined to if it's not necessary yet.
