Leather has the greater potential, but suede looks better on the average gent.

I prefer a Harrington or Bomber but just personal preference. I enjoyed a Leather Jacket before but out here it gets extremely hot so I prefer the lighter options I mentioned. When it gets cold I can throw on a sweater. Thanks for the insight as always!

I have never owned suede clothing. My wife did some years ago purchase a leather coat/jacket for me as a gift. It's by Marc of NY. Thick leather with a quilted lining & can be used up to any point just short of business/formal due to its cut/style. At the time we lived in Florida, so it only was used a couple of times a year. However, since moving to Colorado it has seen regular use. I also have a couple of really casual leather jackets that lighter in construction that get regular use.

I vividly remember my experience of riding with my leather jacket, cutting the wind, it went so well Jacket comes with a zippable vest if it gets too cold. I do love my suede though.

75 yo. I wear both leather and suede. Received complements on suede, never on leather. I,love them both n

Love leather jackets.. Got 3 and I bought all second hand. So happy for the brand you promote Antonio, one day I would like to support them.

I have a suede jacket and every single time I wear it to a bar or club I have women coming up to me and literally caressing my shoulder and complimenting it 😂😂 I wear it a lot now

I enjoyed this video! I own four leather jackets. A brown, black, brown black, and a peanut butter-style jacket. I wear them in rotation every winter. After saying this video, I'm going to purchase my first suede jacket for the winter coming up. I also have a few suede boots, so purchasing a suede jacket will complement the boots as well. By the way, thank you for posting the link to Thursday's boots and your other videos, I enjoy their products greatly.

Really love that green moss suede jacket you are wearing!!! Man that really sick! Very classy with that pop.👍

JUST TELL ME WHERE YOU GOT YOUR GREEN SUEDE JACKET

I'm not a fan of suede because of the maintenance, outside of that I love it

I have a weakness for leather. I have 4. Two motorcycle and 2 regular and I have 1 suede. I wear them all.

I’m older and just bought my first suede jacket. It’s blue but still looks conservative yet sharp.

thx for your advices, started using dress clothes and it feels awesome, i'll never get tired of the compliments.

Love my leather field jacket. But, I did get it with insulation, so, it's a fall and winter jacket. It's only $475, but it's great for me. Oh, and $75 of the price was for goat leather upgrade. 😉

I really like that olive suede jacket you have on in this video. What is the style of it?

I've got a black suede bomber jacket that I love. It fits great and I love the way I look in it. That being said if I ever have the opportunity and the right jacket comes along, I wouldn't say no to a leather jacket.

Why chose if you can get both? Both of them are great

I'll just stick with leather. Suede is nice if the weather is nice, but a leather jacket can be worn in just about anything without worrying about it. Leather is that Jeep you can drive in any weather and suede is that 65 Cobra you take out when the weather is nice.

Leather and suede look pretty good

Ah, I remember my suede bomber jacket, which I gave up over a dozen years ago. Suddenly, I find myself missing it. I got a great deal on one when I was a college student: the mesnwear store that sold it was closing, and i got it for 50% off at $99! That was more than enough excuse to hold on to it until well into the late 2000s, when i gave it up becasue the weather wasn't cold enough, and there were old cuff buttons that wouldn't stay sewn on. But I wonder how long it would have lasted now . . .

Suede may look better but we all know a leather jacket would last longer and is tougher

Leather always. It's one of the few materials that gets BETTER as it ages...like me

suede bomber cut

Hope JL Rocha takes a made to measure order for my own sake. Style wise, absolutely nothing wrong with either. Especially if you can't wear longer length jackets due to disability reasons (if you use a wheelchair for mobility, anything longer than a bomber length just won't work.) That being said, places like The Jacket Maker do indeed make a lot of styles similar to the ones JL Rocha is offering, but to enough of your measurements to know that they'll nail the fit if you actually need to go custom.

Just after I bought my first shearling jacket, but I love it very nice feel super warm

I like my black leather jacket, but I LOVE my mocha suede jacket. Crazy comfortable, warm but breathable, pairs well with more styles and I swear it programs women to touch your arms while chatting. Easily my single favorite piece.

i was just about to go get a suede bomber from mango then this vid pops up

I enjoy both leather and suede. Great content, as always!🙏🏼☺️

I have two suedes one dark gray and one brown and eight pairs of leather jackets long short biker bomber style and plan to buy more

The leather of course. You can get a similar vibe of suede by wearing wool, without any negatives a suede would provide

I just want a punk leather jacket with spikes on it

We are loving this suede option! Thank you for sharing these examples!

Lack of a jacket is cheaper yet more practical here in Finland unless it's literally winter My nordic person skin keeps me warm enough in all other seasons But jackets would be cool if I could tolerate sweating in the slightest

A great and very informative video. I really liked the green suede jacket you are wearing. What brand is it?

What is that brown suade zipper up that you have on ? I like that

What are your thoughts on Thursday boots jackets

I do not know why but that red suede jacket looks like a part of you 😍

I prefer the softer mature look of suede jackets. The shine of leather can be a little loud. Not usually my style

Prefer leather since I’m currently in a wet place. Rain is rougher on suede

I’m actually looking to get a tan suede Brando style motorcycle jacket with fringe on the back and down the arms for Christmas. Now if you really want to stand out, try wearing something like that. I really turned heads when I wore my old withered suede fringe vest😅

The only true path is to accept you've developed this new clothing addiction, save up, and buy both.

You have the gift of the gab. How to get dry glue off suede? Man that would be cool.

Both and switch it up

I might be a bit old school, but I think there is just something about a 100% Cow Hide leather jacket that stands head and shoulders above the rest. A nice cow hide jacket that has been well worn in and treated just has that nice leather smell to it, it has that feel that nothing else can compare to. When I was a kid my dad had a genuine cow hide leather motorcycle jacket that he had actually put into a bag and had ran over it multiple times with a car, buried it in the ground for days and REALLY got that leather nice and soft and malleable. That jacket and the leather boots he had are two of the things that stand out in my memory from when I was like 6 or 7 years old. And when they are taken care of they can last FOREVER and even be handed down through the generations.

My own personal preference I buy the 2 suede and leather jacket

Do you have a video on styling suede jackets?

I love suede, is my always go to even on loafers

i prefer roughout over suede

Bad guy leather vs nice guy leather. In Germany we call slipperyleather and the other one is wildleather. I have 3 slippery 1 wild. 2 Sherpa leather black and brown. And 1 wildleather imitation (oliv). They all grab attention. But if I were the Sherpa jackets the attention is the highest and things wents in other direction without doing much for it.

Dainese and Helston are go to leather jackets.

I have both leather and suede.

What is your personal opinion on ThursdayBoots' Taupe Suede Racer Jacket?

Leather always for me, denim second, I really hate suede and avoid it as much as I can

Thee declares as a messenger from Olympus that this man is as important to clueless men as Prometheus was

Love ❤️ to watch your videos, super informative 👍

Does it have an abrasion resistant Kevlar lining and level 2 back protection? That's the big question.

i got the thursday boot co. cafe racer jacket. recommend. not being paid. just think it looks nice

I would pick leather over suede/ roughout jacket, there are many other option for matte rough texture, you can easily substitute suede jacket with corduroy, or microfiber, or brushed cotton moleskin, they are all look in the same vibe yet much cheaper and easier to maintain/ washable, while there are very little option for giving some sheen and bling over your torso that doesn't look tacky , leather jacket is the only one that actually makes you look cool doing that, so very easy pick. leather is also going to look better as it collects character and patina over the years, while suede only collects grime, water stain, and oily deposit over the years as outerwear. I love my suede boots they look dirty and faded, and balding here and there as a footwear they works, but I doubt anyone can embrace beat up suede as outerwear

Hail the algorithm for this fine channel 👏

i prefer Corduroy ❤️

I like brown leather jackets! The suede one looks great but is a pain to clean.

12degrees where I live today so I was out with a tweed jacket on.... Toasty

I Owned both 😎

The suede is a nice choice but I’m not going to lie, I’m digging my wool chief Joseph Pendleton lately

I love my leather jacket, but I find myself wearing my wool overcoat much more frequently to be honest

For me, the leather jacket from the Daytona 73 collection has a better style since i have it. Suits me better.

Leather

Nice video! Do you still have access to the older style Allen Edmonds conditoner / cleaner? Their more recent straight leather conditioner seems to be a different formula.

I love suede

If you read this, my recommendation is: Looking for a dapper, refined jacket whilst still mantaining the leather ruggedness to a certain extent, or overall a jacker that gives an image for masculinity: Get suede. It shoudl also be cheaper since it is a lower quality cut of leather in theory, i just got a piece of suede a few hours ago, costed less than 20 bucks an it is a half cowhide, it's gonna allow me to make a full jacket my size out of it. On the other side, if you want particularly functional jackets to wear in rain without the material getting damaged, more impact resistance ,and overall a heavier image, full grain leather is the best choice that you can make. However, if you can afford both as i can (And not because i earn much, it's because leather is cheap AF here in Mexico, lit my whole 4 jacket collection is valued in less than 300 dollars, and they are good quality ones, crafted from the highest standard leathers available) highly recommended to have both. By the way, a good leather fragrance above that would be a great shot on top. And by the way as well, business casual with a suede cafe racer jacket looks dope as hell Greetings

Our pals at Thursday Boots just made 3 suede jackets, I'm debating getting one but I just need a little bit more info on any of them. Haven't found a review yet

6:45 Antonio, could you please tell me what green suede leather jacket you are wearing at 6:45 ?

Gave me their numbers and that kinda stuff... Lmao. The only time a couple of girls gave me their numbers was when I was a limo driver and girl though the Cadillac was my own set of wheels 😂

A question unrelated to leather -- what is the style/color of that (gray? black? white?) sweater that the model is wearing 3:12 and 3:48? I've been looking for a sweater like that!

I recall the episode of Seinfeld where Jerry wears a suede jacket in the rain

"You can't get snout out of suede!" ~ Lenny Bruce

Is the exterior of shearling jackets considered LEATHER?

I really want you to rate Boy Scout uniforms

Both 😊

Antonio, what is your personal take on the color of a chosen suede (or leather) jacket matching your physical attributes? I am planning on getting one of these because I think Alden Ehrenreich looks great in one during the Star Wars solo movie. Instead of buying the light brown right away, i wondered if a tobacco brown or so would look better on me given I have much darker brown hair. Any advice? Not exactly looking to immediately buy both lol

3:40 …and the gentlemen.

I wish I had the money to get that suede jacket on release. That was two jobs ago :(

🙂👍 As always, good and helpful information❗

I will add one suete in my closet

Hi how I wash faux suede and Iron? Thanks

I need to get a leather jacket, ill buy one when I'm in Japan next week, got to dress well while I'll be in the country a few months. Didn't know Antonio was a ladies man through the years. I have a green military green jacket for the winter, looks pretty nice, and a black all weather jacket for the rainy days.

What I worry about with suede is your skins natural oils or if you wear cologne and it rubs on the cuffs of the sleeve or the collar and then the suede wears down to the nap and looks shiny. Any thoughts? This is what prevents me from purchasing a good quality suede jacket.

Can you make videos on How to style khakis

New to the channel and love all the info. I want to look good and feel good about my looks but I'm "an old man" and "a brute" (as told by my wife.) I'm 23 and I work with my hands alot. And I work at Home Depot so I don't exactly have NEED for very extravagant clothing. Wouldn't mind getting some tips/tricks on how I can make a more casual transition from "boyhood" or "manhood" without making a complete fool of myself.

Why are we doing an 'or'? I want both.

Suede looks really nice. I would prefer it if i ever wanted to look more stylish (Leather just looks like you got down from the bike, not a bad thing at all, but it rather looks like it's functional and you're not trying too hard to have style) and even androgynous, suede would help me with that since i consider the image of it not being a raw macho image like the signal leather sends, and in a proper cut and outfit (Some nice elegant Chelseas or riding boots, some silk scarf or stuff, and a more vintage looking shirt, with like a paisley pattern or stuff, with a suede trucker above or stuff) it would look amazing. However, i consider suede to be rather lacking of "ruggedness" and even disfunctional. I use leather jackets since i can wear them in any climate in my city. If i go out with one just wearing a tee underneath, i can wear them in summer, with a flannel, a beanie and a scarf, i can go through the heaviest winters here wearing a café racer, and in fall and rain days, a double rider is just great. I could also just use a hoodie or stuff and be perfectly fine. I also use them in semiformal type of outfits to add some edge to dressed - up looks, and i also could wear them in a motorcycle enviroment, fall off from the bike and be perfectly fine with them. Suede, on the other hand, would probably not serve that purpose. Cannot be worn in downpours, and in my city, suede just doesn't insolate from wind properly, the same way i don't see a suede jacket being as versatile as my leather jackets. (Cowhide and Calfskin café racers, and a cowhide double rider) I also don't see suede being as durable as full grain cowhide or calfskin, since i can tear suede barehands, same for lambskin, both of which i consider "weak" leathers. My bottomline is: I would wear suede in rather limited or very few ocassions. Heavy full grain leather is the best for me. (And for any of you reading this comment and looking for a jacket that can withstand 40 years of use, it's the best for you as well)

your red sued is a stunning jacket

You know about your leather sir I respect that can you help me im from uk can you tell me 3 to 7 brands of leather jackets i can buy on ine my max price is 600£

Both Are Technically Leather so you can't really go wrong. Try both on then decide which looks better on you.

I was wearing a leather jacket once and thought I looked good, met up with a group of friends and one of them said to me “nice jacket mate, does that come in mens?” The jacket started burning 😂💀💀

leather > suede

2:27

I think if your an older male and want to stick with leather look, it's ok as long as it's brown leather and not the black leather as the black is more intended for the younger generation.
