I bought the new Karl Kani faux leather and absolutely love it

Excellent video…Thank you for all the information! Just bought a cute faux “leather” crop jacket and like it bc the sleeves are super short... But after just wearing one night towards the end of the night, noticed it smelled slightly fishy. 😵‍💫 what do they recommend as far as washing, I heard you can wash them once in a while… or use equal parts water to vinegar and wipe down. Then air dry. What do you think? Thanks again!! 🫶🏼

Thanks mate, great video! 👍 I did not want to buy a faux leather jacket at all because I thought I would come over as "fake" for wearing fake leather. But your video convinced me it's totally cool. I'm gonna buy a brown one now! 😎

TBH its easier to clean, condition, and color a real leather jacket. However, you must have extreme patience to actually take your time. Its good to know how faux leather works. Stitching is extremely tricky from what i saw you can stitch the broken one because its the inside of it the problem of it would be if it went through to the outside of the jacket.

I completely agree Leather if properly taken care of can & will last longer than faux leather

I own 2 real black leather jackets one being medium size, and kinda of big on me the other one fit me perfectly however it’s more of a leather blazer look but still masculine on me and. I got one faux leather biker jacket to me I wear my biker jacket the most because since I’m 18 it’s my fav jacket to wear didn’t get a single break since I bought it for $100 however I might buy one more small back real leather biker jacket if I go to any thrift stores if they have any I love both of them tbh and I find faux leather good for teens.

LOL! It's funny, cause I came here right after seeing my leather jacket disintegrated. And it was a H&M black one too, the one you're holding. My heart... cause it really looked good.

Nice video, informative and in depth along with the fact you dont say "Uhm" or erm. My only suggestion is to take deeper breathes so we don't hear the pauses. Although I ain't judging you too hard I have to take alot of breathes too

With the faux leather, does it breathe? Or does it get really hot and sweaty inside while wearing it? Like, I know they are water resistant on the outside, which is nice, but if you're sweating in them, then you're getting wet anyway.

When you hesr fake leather it kinda has a negative sound to it but honestly it can be better than genuine leather because the synthetic ingredients make it more Durable than genuinely which ofc is made of animals skin is able to damage easier. Its also great for vegans if you sre the type of vegan who stays away from any and all product's made from animals including clothing.

There are no pros to wearing plastic. Ask yourself this, if your fashion choices are a statement or a reflection of who you are or want to portray to the world, what does wearing a cheap knockoff, something meant to deceive others, say about you. To anyone who thinks no one can tell the difference, you do you. Not that long ago no one would’ve been caught dead sporting this. Maybe it’s just our vacuous throw away culture of the times. If cost for the real deal is prohibitive, buy used. Leather can be cleaned if that’s an issue for you. If you just won’t do used, then save up. Some things are worth waiting for. A quality leather jacket is an investment that can last a lifetime, even passed down as an heirloom. It will develop patina and character over the years. If that says something about myself, I’m good with that.

Leather have many varieties and its cost depend on that , such as 1. Which animal ? 2. Full grain leather or split leather ? 3. What type of tanning and dyeing done on it? . 4. Craftsmanship Avoid brands. For fashion sheep leather is best as it is very thin already and difficult to split so what you get is full grain and also it is light in weight so good for jackets
