Hello everyone! I'm kinda new not only in this forum, but also in the leather jacket world so I could use some of your wisdom and knowledge on a topic that I'm really curious. The matter is this, what is all about the fashion brands leather jackets? The price tag it's so high that in many cases are out of discussion. But the thing is, does really worth the price? What do you think about this?
In my small knowledge and searching I found some great brands like himel bros., Real McCoys, Freewheelers, etc., they are also very expensive but when I do the research, I find like a very handcrafted even artisanal products and that is amazing. And then, we have the fashion brands, many of them actually look pretty good too but it make me think, does it worth it? I mean, the quality it's at least equal compare to those artisanal brands? Do they have any feature that I loosing?
And just for context, this idea came to me when I saw this jacket (photos attached) . It's from Amiri. Amiri is a brand very trendy right now wear by many celebrities and also a brand that I really like and admire. In fact I said that amiri is one of my favorite brands but to be honest, leather goods it's not an easy task, I mean you need a whole devoted life just to start to understand what the hell is happening there. And the thing is that when I saw it, I really love it, it just looks too cool and have some non common features like those mark on the arms or zippers in the back.
The price tag of this amiri jacket is $3000 and it's suposse to be calfskin leather.
I really sorry for this long post but I want to give some context and I love to know what do you think since you are the experts here. So the issue is this, Fashion brands, do they worth the price tag or not?
