Idk, I don’t think it would look that great. Custom and tailored is great for certain items, but I wouldn’t necessarily trust them to make something that is “now” or “en vogue”.
@@princegobi5992 well if you’re spending $2-5k on a jacket wouldn’t you want to be able to wear it for the next 10-30 years without it going out of style??
@@princegobi5992 the unique nature of bespoke is that you can personalize stuff to how you want it, if you wanted a modern jacket a good tailor could make it for you
Boys and girls. Do notbuy leather jackets based on this video. This is just advertising designer trash. There are better videos on this topic on RUclips.
Was in the presence of a $200k Chrome Hearts croc skin leather jacket. It was custom made and ordered by a high profile customer. The skins were symmetrical. The zips had black diamonds. The most gorgeous leather jacket I’ve ever seen.
As mentioned by others, AllSaints on sale has absolute steals. Copped a vegetable tanned lambskin jacket and it has become my second skin. It's supple and developing a beatiful patina. If I had unlimited budget my dream pick would be the Undercover x Lewis Leathers Lightening Jacket Jeff Goldblum rocking a Saint Laurent Biker jacket with a white button up shirt, a grey snake print silk tie, suit pants, black boots, silver rings and a watch is God Tier style icon imho
Complete fail. Fake leathers and Saint Lauren for recommendations, might as well go for All Saints for a fraction of the price for similar quality. I'll give them Schott but no Aero leather, Eastman or any of the Japanese brands for 1k and above? I guess this a brand name over quality thing.
If you're buying a Saint Laurent leather jacket for your first leather get an L01 or shop pre-loved for an L17. In fact leathers are made to last and show more personality with age, there is no real reason to buy a top quality leather brand-new, there's loads available on the secondary market. Save money, save the environment.
Hilarious that the first jacket isn’t even a leather jacket like come on guys you are telling me the BEST leather jacket in this guys opinion is that hideous pleather one 😂😂😂
@@pauls3253 The bubble these guys are in doesn't let them see how cringe all of this is. theres a way to talk about mens fashion without sounding aloof and preposterous like these guys are.
Faux leather will not age nearly as nicely as traditional leather. I think that's the main draw to leather jackets in general - you're going to be wearing these pieces for a very long time and they will age with grace if you take care of it.
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
Ralph Lauren is the style icon period, personally, and the clothes he shares with the world. I was disappointed Jeff Goldblum, or Harry Styles, or G Eazy weren't mentioned as leather jacket icons.
In major leather-producing countries like India or Pakistan, you can get a jacket that is the same quality and style as a $500 range jacket shown here for $30-50. Goes to show how much customers abroad have to (unknowingly) pay for freight charges, brand labels & store rent.
I’m surprised they didn’t note Jeff Goldblum as a leather jacket icon. His Saint Laurent jacket and how much he rocks that is INSANE. Definitely one of my favorites
So the Sefr Jacket is 400 pounds and is faux leather. I know nothing about these things so can someone please educate me on why the price would be so steep for a jacket like this? Is the material great quality?
I have over 6 allsaints leathers and some have been with me for over 6 years and they’ve lasted really well. So idk what these comments about the quality is.
If the criteria is quality vs price I wouldn’t go for Celine or saint Laurent -500$ go vintage or a lesser know biker brand on sale 500$ - 1500$ you’re good with schott and maybe a lewis leathers if you can get your hands on one 1500$ + go with Japanese repro brands, you’ll find some good cheaper alternatives to real McCoy and a jacket that will last forever But if you buy Celine for 3k + you’re basically buying 300-600$ quality with a nice tag
The guy who can spend unlimited money literally knows nothing about quality leather jackets. He picked one with a million panels that looks like plastic. Sad didn’t mention Thedi or rainbow country or any top tier maker
The genuine leather thing is a bit off. Bonded leather is not referred to as "genuine leather". Genuine leather is the same level as most suede, meaning it is still an actual piece of hide, but it is below top and full grain leather.
Editor and director really phoned this one in huh? Loving all the strange, rambling and awkward posturing. Every jacket being described as a trucker jacket or a proto trucker jacket. Good stuff fellas 👍
If you have unlimited money for a leather jacket go have it tailored and custom made.

I would say -
$500 and under - AllSaints
$500-$1500 - Belstaff or Schott NYC
$1500-$$$$ - The Real McCoy or just custom tailor made
For the midrange id go with Aero.
You can pickup Belstaff for $35o at Nordstrom Rack. I prefer Lewis Leathers over the Real McCoy.
100% agree with your picks.
500 under you can definetly find a vintage balenciaga leather jacket... or a vintage prada one
Nah Himel bros is worth it like look at their heron.

500 for a fake leather?
You'd have to be a real idiot to pay that much for a plastic jacket.
Was in the presence of a $200k Chrome Hearts croc skin leather jacket. It was custom made and ordered by a high profile customer. The skins were symmetrical. The zips had black diamonds. The most gorgeous leather jacket I’ve ever seen.
Dear god do you have a picture of it?
I once saw a Saudi Arabian businessman walk into the Hermes store and walk out with a jacket that had no price tag. It looked painfully expensive.
Omg sounds amazing
Bro same here chrome hearts is a beautiful brand I seen this video of this dude wearing a 20k chrome hearts jacket it was ridiculously amazing
Leon emanuel blanck alligator jacket at labstore in london is like 15k n just on a hanger on the wall
They act like you can't get a vintage one for under $100. And it would be better quality than many of the $500+ options
This was the worst video. They should all be fired. What total incompetence.

How much for the allsaitns in sale?
there aint no way GQ said that faux leather is cool now LOLLLLLL XDDDDDDDD silly buggers
Dude wearing a corduroy double breasted suit with a baseball hat giving fashion advice? GQ is slipping.
Complete fail. Fake leathers and Saint Lauren for recommendations, might as well go for All Saints for a fraction of the price for similar quality. I'll give them Schott but no Aero leather, Eastman or any of the Japanese brands for 1k and above? I guess this a brand name over quality thing.
All Saints is another great alternative for leather jacket around and under $500
Was going to comment the same! Grailed has lambskin leather All Saints jackets for $200. I got the Wick jacket (originally $600) for $200!
I own two all saints, superb quality and fit that doesn’t ask for anything to those that are too expensive.
I would get a Belstaff for $350 at Nordstrom Rack.
@@bngr_bngr have fun finding one
@@miniroseyo I found two.
These guys need to have some personality. They’re vanilla if vanilla could walk and talk. They uncomfortable. Also how much were these jackets

Great choices.
I'm sorry but the cheapest starting price was $500 and he suggested a faux leather jacket 🤮🤮🤮
Gqs a joke now
Hilarious that the first jacket isn’t even a leather jacket like come on guys you are telling me the BEST leather jacket in this guys opinion is that hideous pleather one 😂😂😂
not only that but its a faux croc leather blazer… these guys are kind of a joke

$500 for FAUX!? Get tf outta here
watching this with my thrifted $15 leather jacket questioning everything rn
Faux leather will not age nearly as nicely as traditional leather. I think that's the main draw to leather jackets in general - you're going to be wearing these pieces for a very long time and they will age with grace if you take care of it.
I don’t understand why they made that choice. Well most choices were not very good. They didn’t eve talk about Lewis Leathers.
@@bngr_bngrthat's a crying shame.......Mike Lewis made fantastic jackets (I'm a Sentinel fan myself)
Was I the only person who lost interest in GQ’s style opinion once I got to see how their editors dress?
Nobody mentioned any Japanese horsehide. Fail bruh
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
They didn't do the classic leather jacket any justice 😔
For cheaper leather jackets Allsaints are great idk how they didn’t mention them
They have no knowledge. You can tell based on their conversations by the way they asked the question on “what does Genuine Leather mean?” 😂
Ralph Lauren is the style icon period, personally, and the clothes he shares with the world. I was disappointed Jeff Goldblum, or Harry Styles, or G Eazy weren't mentioned as leather jacket icons.
harry styles?
G eazy fs
Bro snuck in Harry Styles 😂
Why should we listen to these guys
lol a $500 "budget" jacket
500$ is the budget option? Sheesh how can one be so out of touch with reality
this video is a parody. and these are soy boys
No hate.. but why these people is working at GQ.. and I'm not... Hate on me is alright.
Sadly GQ editors turned into hipster Liberals
Allsaints would be so much better rec at under 500 than the obviously fake croc print monstrosity.
In major leather-producing countries like India or Pakistan, you can get a jacket that is the same quality and style as a $500 range jacket shown here for $30-50.
Goes to show how much customers abroad have to (unknowingly) pay for freight charges, brand labels & store rent.
you have any name to recommend? i'm interested
Avidan's leather jacket fit gave me Edward Cullen vibes, which I dig!
The chemistry between these three is terrible.
I’m surprised they didn’t note Jeff Goldblum as a leather jacket icon. His Saint Laurent jacket and how much he rocks that is INSANE. Definitely one of my favorites
Props to Yang-Yi for shouting out Bourdain - definite low key style icon. I for sure got a few pairs of desert boots thanks to him.
What about StraightToHell leather jackets?
Indiana Jones was the best to ever do it
These guys have no bussines teaching mens style.
So the Sefr Jacket is 400 pounds and is faux leather. I know nothing about these things so can someone please educate me on why the price would be so steep for a jacket like this? Is the material great quality?
Sefr's a p nice brand. That's how much they'd probably charge for any jacket of non-leather materials
True! It’s a sick jacket though!
The fact Allsaints was not mentioned in the 500 category is criminal to me
Over priced.
All Saints probably didn’t pay GQ an ad fee like the other brands they mentioned did
i’ve seen an allsaints leather jacket at a thrift store. they dont have the quality that i expect for the price of pieces. so basically drop em.
I have over 6 allsaints leathers and some have been with me for over 6 years and they’ve lasted really well. So idk what these comments about the quality is.
@@kevinmurillo6767 well if you have 6 jackets over 6 years. Then your experience is owing one jacket for one year.
If the criteria is quality vs price I wouldn’t go for Celine or saint Laurent
-500$ go vintage or a lesser know biker brand on sale
500$ - 1500$ you’re good with schott and maybe a lewis leathers if you can get your hands on one
1500$ + go with Japanese repro brands, you’ll find some good cheaper alternatives to real McCoy and a jacket that will last forever
But if you buy Celine for 3k + you’re basically buying 300-600$ quality with a nice tag
What got me was the panels on the celine, never heard of em but i saw the like 7ish pannels on the back and i was like really
Cool selection of jackets. Would've been cool to see a cafe racer jacket being styled in there though😅
Should’ve included Denzel washington training day leather jacket style🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ok this is great, it’s like all the leather jackets I’ve looked at where like $900+
Lewis Leathers all the way. Ton Up!! 💪🏻
I can’t believe these three dudes didn’t know about Lewis Leathers. The choices they picked were chosen with ChatGP.
Blackmeans aswell
What’s with the hats?
can we get some hosts on these segments who actually have good style and can dress
Thank god someone sane
These guys are utterly clueless
Faux leather for $500 forget it
That's Ralph Lauren? Mf look like he about to say "This is Unconceivable!" in the Princess Bridge lol.
Thumbnail made it seem they were interviewing a leather jacket
😅 true
The guy who can spend unlimited money literally knows nothing about quality leather jackets. He picked one with a million panels that looks like plastic. Sad didn’t mention Thedi or rainbow country or any top tier maker
You lost me at Faux
Wow, these guys are amateurs.

Joe Jonas wore the Séfr jacket, it looks sick! Curious if it’s worth the $500 though!?
If you get yves st laurent rather than himmel bros, the real mccoys or other top tier Japanese leather jacket brands, you've made a mistake.
always thought that Marlon Brando, Slash, and Ralph Lauren looked the coolest in leather jackets
Maybe next they can recommend a Ferrari for every budget too.
why does the first dude talk like he's afraid of the other two or something lol
If I had more money to get one leather jacket it would get a Himel bros leather those jackets are beautifully made and feel so good to wear.
KEEP IT UP GUYS!! I LOVE THIS SERIES!! 🔥🔥🔥
LEATHER JACKETS - Then the very first recommendation is plastic that looks like leather.
Wow.
Faux Leather and suede?! Are you telling he couldn’t find a decent leather jacket under $500?
Mova Leather has great styles and they also offer customization for less than most of these. I got mine for 300 and it's so worth it.
Bro first choice of leather jacket is a 500$ fake leather jacket…. That’s crazy. It’s pretty ugly too
I MUST know where Gerald Ortiz got that Rolex big boat hat!!
How hipsters style leather jackets****
Ahhh The geeks again
- Under 500$
BUDGET??? 😬
For a fully leather jacket? What are you expecting
Go to a vintage store and you’ll find a real leather of any one of these brands for 200 or less
the first leather jacket recommendation not even being real leather made me stop watching
Are these guys supposed to be wearing clothes that are in style cause Houston we have a problem
500 is the lowest. Here's me, looking at an 80 dollar faux leather one. Haha
NEVER faux leather, it will peel in a year or two and what you have is TRASH.
Marlo actually DIDN'T wear an official Schott jacket but the style was the same.
The Schott is head and shoulders above the Céline in terms of quality
I understand what you guys do but I don’t appreciate it the gaslighting
The genuine leather thing is a bit off. Bonded leather is not referred to as "genuine leather". Genuine leather is the same level as most suede, meaning it is still an actual piece of hide, but it is below top and full grain leather.
And many times especially in past years, proper cowhide has often been referred to as genuine leather.
Leather jacket is synonymous with G Eazy.
I really love terminator 2 jacket 😎
In summary the schott cafe racer is the best no matter what your budget is.
One of my favorite jackets is a Schott 141 Cafe Racer. Good call.
always get a chuckle out of these identity crisis cornball looks. 🤠
Stop capping, why would I buy a 500 faux leather jacket?
Nevermind leather jackets these guys need straight jackets
and don't forget, eBay is your best friend for finding good leather deals
The third dude had the best fit imo
Everyone of these "experts" are very poorly dressed.
Awful choices of leather jackets
Belstaff Calf Leather jackets are better than the expensive ones in this video imo..
Bro started the list with faux leather...✌️
‘If I only had $500 for one jacket...”😮
Having to get them all this year. Thanks for always draining my bank GQ ;)
Look at Lewis Leather. Better to have one amazing jacket than a few average jackets.
@@bngr_bngr Ill check them out thank you!
Editor and director really phoned this one in huh? Loving all the strange, rambling and awkward posturing. Every jacket being described as a trucker jacket or a proto trucker jacket. Good stuff fellas 👍
Shame I look like I should be on a register in any sort of leather jacket.
