Hello everyone,
I am currently in the market for a new leather jacket and I came across a listing for a jacket labeled as "100 percent leather." I am not very familiar with the different types of leather and I was wondering if anyone could explain to me what exactly "100 percent leather" means?
I want to make sure that if I invest in a leather jacket, it is of high quality and made from genuine leather. Any insights or advice on what to look for when shopping for leather products would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Hey,
As someone who has owned a variety of leather products, ranging from jackets to wallets to boots, I know that "100 percent leather" is referring to a leather product that is not blended with synthetic materials. The term “100 percent leather” means that the product is made only with pure leather material, and with no other additives.
When shopping for leather products, don't just rely on the product label. You should always consider checking with the seller or the manufacturer to make sure that the leather is authentic and of high quality. Leather comes in various types with different properties, so it’s important to understand these properties to ensure that you are buying a product that meets your preference.
In addition, the quality of the leather and the craftsmanship will have an impact on the final product's durability and look. Full-grain leather will last a long time but requires more care, while top-grain leather is more durable and easier to maintain. Ensure that the stitching is done properly as this can be a sign of the product's durability.
Lastly, when it comes to maintaining your leather product, it's important to keep it clean and well-conditioned. Leather naturally loses its moisture over time, which degrades the material. Use a leather conditioner to keep it supple and protected from the elements.
In conclusion, when shopping for leather products, consider the type of leather that is used, the quality of the craftsmanship, and ensure it is properly styled. Take care of your leather products to make sure they continue to look and feel great for years to come.
