How Much Does A Leather Jacket Cost?
When it comes to buying a jacket, everyone gets confused with quality and price. You may sometimes think why there is too much difference in the prices of leather jackets? Why do some jackets have $500 tags? There are many factors by which you can think about the cost.
First of all, you should know there are two types of material
Real Leather
PU Leather
What’s the difference?
PU leather jackets are made up of small pieces of real leather and are chemically synthesized or treated products that look similar to the real ones with only difference in quality and life. PU leather smells like plastic and can get cracked easily when overused.
A real leather jacket is made up of animal hides like goatskin, horse skin, and most commonly, lambskin. PU Leather has a more realistic imitation but Real Leather Jackets easily beat its lower price substitute with durability and functionality.

It also depends upon:
Labor:
Leather jackets are costly because they are handcrafted and it takes one week to make one. It requires extra time to develop a perfect style, that’s why it cost more but the good quality will last several years.
Thickness:
Many jackets in the market have different thicknesses. A thin jacket costs less but it may not keep you warm enough and is also not durable for a long time. A thick jacket is a good choice because it’s worth the price but also keep in mind that an extra thick jacket is not a good idea.
