Hey everyone, I'm in the market for a leather jacket but I don't want to break the bank. I'm wondering what the cheapest type of leather is that I can get a jacket made out of. I'm not too worried about the quality or durability as I just need it for casual wear and don't plan on wearing it every day. Any recommendations on where to find cheap leather jackets would also be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey there, I recently purchased a leather jacket that was advertised as "genuine leather" and it was the cheapest option I could find. However, I later discovered that "genuine leather" isn't necessarily a high-quality leather and it's actually one of the cheapest types available. It's made from the leftovers of more expensive leathers and undergoes a lot of processing to make it usable. I've noticed that the leather on my jacket feels a bit stiff and doesn't have the same softness and sheen as more expensive leathers. So, if you really want a good quality leather jacket, I would recommend spending a bit more money to get a higher quality leather such as full-grain or top-grain leather. That being said, if you're really on a tight budget, genuine leather jackets can still be a decent option for a casual jacket. Just be aware that you may sacrifice some quality for the lower price. As for where to find cheap leather jackets, I've had luck checking out secondhand stores or online marketplaces such as eBay or Depop. You never know what gems you may find for a fraction of the original price!
