I’ve been thinking about what actually makes a leather jacket worth keeping long-term.

For me, it’s mostly the fit and how the leather develops over time. I’d rather have a simple jacket that still looks good after years of wear than something heavily designed that might feel outdated quickly.

I’ve been comparing a few different styles lately, including some from Salt & Co Leather https://saltcoleather.com/collections/mens-leather-jackets, and it got me wondering:

What matters most to you when choosing a leather jacket, the leather itself, fit, stitching, hardware, lining, or the overall design?

Would be interested to hear what experienced leather jacket owners look for.
