GQ Recommends Leather Jackets For Every Budget | GQ
“Leather is evergreen.” GQ editors Avidan, Yang-Yi and Gerald are here to recommend leather jackets at every price point and suit every budget. From the below $500 range to the Celine splurge buys, the GQ Recommends team explores a wide range of leather (and faux-leather). Plus each editor takes the same leather jacket and styles it all their own.

No, you don't spend $500 on faux leather. Buy a used Schott.

NEVER buy fake leather if you actually want to wear it. Only get faux leather if you’re trying out a new style. Real leather will last longer, feel better, and fit better every single time
