Leather has the greater potential, but suede looks better on the average gent.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

[@PBA8]

In the end it's preference.

[@TheWildPrince]

I agree. As a woman, from my perspective, if you don’t have the right look, style or you’re not a biker sometimes a leather jacket can lose its “cool” and end up looking like a dad jacket. (Like trying a little too hard to be cool especially if the rest of your outfit isn’t keeping up.) I think a suede jacket comes off a bit more casual while still polished and would be easier for the average guy to pull off.

[@KingKhan20000]

@@TheWildPrince Whats the 'right look'? Think a leather jacket would suit me I just dont like jeans, maybe black jeans but thats it.

[@joshuasmith1877]

The only true path is to accept you've developed this new clothing addiction, save up, and buy both.

JUST TELL ME WHERE YOU GOT YOUR GREEN SUEDE JACKET

[@Manuel421]

I prefer a Harrington or Bomber but just personal preference. I enjoyed a Leather Jacket before but out here it gets extremely hot so I prefer the lighter options I mentioned. When it gets cold I can throw on a sweater. Thanks for the insight as always!

[@samuelfranco3744]

Suede may look better but we all know a leather jacket would last longer and is tougher

[@kamasuauto]

I have a suede jacket and every single time I wear it to a bar or club I have women coming up to me and literally caressing my shoulder and complimenting it 😂😂 I wear it a lot now

[@CeeT-wg3hz]

What is that brown suade zipper up that you have on ? I like that

[@true2life73]

I enjoyed this video! I own four leather jackets. A brown, black, brown black, and a peanut butter-style jacket. I wear them in rotation every winter. After saying this video, I'm going to purchase my first suede jacket for the winter coming up. I also have a few suede boots, so purchasing a suede jacket will complement the boots as well. By the way, thank you for posting the link to Thursday's boots and your other videos, I enjoy their products greatly.

[@fernandorodriguez876]

Have you decided on what suede jacket to get?

Love my leather field jacket. But, I did get it with insulation, so, it's a fall and winter jacket. It's only $475, but it's great for me. Oh, and $75 of the price was for goat leather upgrade. 😉

[@Joey21071]

I'll just stick with leather. Suede is nice if the weather is nice, but a leather jacket can be worn in just about anything without worrying about it. Leather is that Jeep you can drive in any weather and suede is that 65 Cobra you take out when the weather is nice.

[@gordonbrandt9739]

I have never owned suede clothing. My wife did some years ago purchase a leather coat/jacket for me as a gift. It's by Marc of NY. Thick leather with a quilted lining & can be used up to any point just short of business/formal due to its cut/style. At the time we lived in Florida, so it only was used a couple of times a year. However, since moving to Colorado it has seen regular use. I also have a couple of really casual leather jackets that lighter in construction that get regular use.

[@russellbogrett605]

I have a weakness for leather. I have 4. Two motorcycle and 2 regular and I have 1 suede. I wear them all.

[@RealMenRealStyle]

I feel the same!

[@jazzrockr]

Hope JL Rocha takes a made to measure order for my own sake. Style wise, absolutely nothing wrong with either. Especially if you can't wear longer length jackets due to disability reasons (if you use a wheelchair for mobility, anything longer than a bomber length just won't work.) That being said, places like The Jacket Maker do indeed make a lot of styles similar to the ones JL Rocha is offering, but to enough of your measurements to know that they'll nail the fit if you actually need to go custom.

75 yo. I wear both leather and suede. Received complements on suede, never on leather. I,love them both n

I vividly remember my experience of riding with my leather jacket, cutting the wind, it went so well Jacket comes with a zippable vest if it gets too cold. I do love my suede though.

[@LuvU2x]

I love my leather jacket, but I find myself wearing my wool overcoat much more frequently to be honest

[@TheSaneHatter]

Ah, I remember my suede bomber jacket, which I gave up over a dozen years ago. Suddenly, I find myself missing it. I got a great deal on one when I was a college student: the mesnwear store that sold it was closing, and i got it for 50% off at $99! That was more than enough excuse to hold on to it until well into the late 2000s, when i gave it up becasue the weather wasn't cold enough, and there were old cuff buttons that wouldn't stay sewn on. But I wonder how long it would have lasted now . . .

[@jeffreyfigueiredo1740]

[@tempestandacomputer6951]

Antonio, what is your personal take on the color of a chosen suede (or leather) jacket matching your physical attributes? I am planning on getting one of these because I think Alden Ehrenreich looks great in one during the Star Wars solo movie. Instead of buying the light brown right away, i wondered if a tobacco brown or so would look better on me given I have much darker brown hair. Any advice? Not exactly looking to immediately buy both lol

[@spencerbentley7039]

Hey yo I'm thinking contrast so I'd go for the light brown.

Pro Tip: Do NOT wear suede when it's snowing!!

Lack of a jacket is cheaper yet more practical here in Finland unless it's literally winter My nordic person skin keeps me warm enough in all other seasons But jackets would be cool if I could tolerate sweating in the slightest

[@tjroberts6041]

[@chrislaws4785]

I might be a bit old school, but I think there is just something about a 100% Cow Hide leather jacket that stands head and shoulders above the rest. A nice cow hide jacket that has been well worn in and treated just has that nice leather smell to it, it has that feel that nothing else can compare to. When I was a kid my dad had a genuine cow hide leather motorcycle jacket that he had actually put into a bag and had ran over it multiple times with a car, buried it in the ground for days and REALLY got that leather nice and soft and malleable. That jacket and the leather boots he had are two of the things that stand out in my memory from when I was like 6 or 7 years old. And when they are taken care of they can last FOREVER and even be handed down through the generations.

[@bryantgutierrez9191]

Man I love to know what kinda style the jacket was along with boots! It sounds cool and wish i could see them!

[@chrislaws4785]

@@bryantgutierrez9191 Of what I can remember, this was back in like 1989, But the jacket was an old heavy 80s style motorcycle jacket that had an giant eagle on the back. The damn thing felt like it weighed 5lbs, it was heavy as hell for a jacket. The boots were the same, older 80s style leather cowboy style riding boots. They don't make things like they used to back then.

[@wynonasbigbrowndragon6121]

I prefer the softer mature look of suede jackets. The shine of leather can be a little loud. Not usually my style

Is the exterior of shearling jackets considered LEATHER?

[@D_Jilla]

So what about my leather jacket that's half lambskin leather and and half goatskin suede? I guess I'm following Thanos' philosophy of balance 😆

[@schokoay7662]

Bad guy leather vs nice guy leather. In Germany we call slipperyleather and the other one is wildleather. I have 3 slippery 1 wild. 2 Sherpa leather black and brown. And 1 wildleather imitation (oliv). They all grab attention. But if I were the Sherpa jackets the attention is the highest and things wents in other direction without doing much for it.

Ok. So i always thought if you were dressing up for something like a wedding or a court date or job interview... That you should shave. But then i started hearing everyone calling it gay face .. Now i see this guy is shaved... Opinions?

[@javierdiazsantana]

If you read this, my recommendation is: Looking for a dapper, refined jacket whilst still mantaining the leather ruggedness to a certain extent, or overall a jacker that gives an image for masculinity: Get suede. It shoudl also be cheaper since it is a lower quality cut of leather in theory, i just got a piece of suede a few hours ago, costed less than 20 bucks an it is a half cowhide, it's gonna allow me to make a full jacket my size out of it. On the other side, if you want particularly functional jackets to wear in rain without the material getting damaged, more impact resistance ,and overall a heavier image, full grain leather is the best choice that you can make. However, if you can afford both as i can (And not because i earn much, it's because leather is cheap AF here in Mexico, lit my whole 4 jacket collection is valued in less than 300 dollars, and they are good quality ones, crafted from the highest standard leathers available) highly recommended to have both. By the way, a good leather fragrance above that would be a great shot on top. And by the way as well, business casual with a suede cafe racer jacket looks dope as hell Greetings

[@miralomasf7x7]

A question unrelated to leather -- what is the style/color of that (gray? black? white?) sweater that the model is wearing 3:12 and 3:48? I've been looking for a sweater like that!

Both Are Technically Leather so you can't really go wrong. Try both on then decide which looks better on you.

[@dham629]

For me this isn't a binary choice, I have several suede and lambskin jackets in various colors.

[@mr.anti-hero4398]

The leather of course. You can get a similar vibe of suede by wearing wool, without any negatives a suede would provide

[@stefanhnavetsea1588]

I would pick leather over suede/ roughout jacket, there are many other option for matte rough texture, you can easily substitute suede jacket with corduroy, or microfiber, or brushed cotton moleskin, they are all look in the same vibe yet much cheaper and easier to maintain/ washable, while there are very little option for giving some sheen and bling over your torso that doesn't look tacky , leather jacket is the only one that actually makes you look cool doing that, so very easy pick. leather is also going to look better as it collects character and patina over the years, while suede only collects grime, water stain, and oily deposit over the years as outerwear. I love my suede boots they look dirty and faded, and balding here and there as a footwear they works, but I doubt anyone can embrace beat up suede as outerwear

What I worry about with suede is your skins natural oils or if you wear cologne and it rubs on the cuffs of the sleeve or the collar and then the suede wears down to the nap and looks shiny. Any thoughts? This is what prevents me from purchasing a good quality suede jacket.
