new to leather jackets, is Faconable good quality?

[10nzin]

Hello, I was originally gonna work with Five Star Leather to get a custom jacket but they've been ghosting my emails. I started looking around and found this leather jacket for sale near me, meaning I could pick it up any time this week for $250.

It looks good, should fit me, and has a "puffy/oversized" look that I like.

However, I can't find any good information on Faconnable's leather bombers. The brand itself seems legit, so I wanted to get opinions here. It is Lambskin leather.

Faconnable is a mall brand. And the leather is lambskin. I’d avoid.

This leather-jacket game takes time. Waiting patiently for the right one would reward you.

Whats wrong with lambskin?

Too fragile and lack durability. I also noticed “made in Turkey” in the label. That’s all you need to know. You pay for what you get.

You should save up and buy a proper leather jacket. If you’re ok with the puffy/oversized look, you can grab anything in the Classifieds, like Aero or Vanson.

This is a **** mall jacket, don't spend $250 on it.
For that money you can find an old Schott or Vanson and end up with a much better quality jacket.
