In terms of looks they both look good but fit is extremely important. That asos one would most definitely look bulky on me while the kooples would fit/mold to my body. I’m short and skinny so fit is usually the determining factor for buying something. I just ordered a premium real suede biker jacket from ASOS and will do a review on it once I get it.
I just bought the H&M version in faux suede and it was a great value considering it’s not going to be an everyday wear. So for $70.00 I couldn’t pass it up. Was I planning on buying a Moto jacket? No, but it was my size and the right steal of a price. I liked the no nonsense look about it. I own expensive stuff too, but had to buy this. Concerning Blake’s jacket, he said it was stiff at first and this is what I’ve run into before with actual suede. This faux suede is washable and will age nicely in the future, based on my experience. Whether ASOS or H&M, you really can’t go wrong with this more practical version, imo.
I got my understated easy rider over a year ago for around 550 and i wear it almot every day from walking the dogs through the woods to a day at the races it litterally goes everywhere! I cant stress how highly i reccomend understated
Because Blake actually already has the expensive stuff. Then George has to run out and buy the cheap stuff to make a vid on it. But yeah, so is Blake gifted (so he says) expensive stuff? Like obnoxiously yuge slingbags.
Well, I think the cut of the jackets is usually fittable if it´s chosen the rigth size. Both of two give elegance and personality... Also, if you wear them with another nice elements or accesorie as mentioned it will be cool. With a thousand dollars I just buy a big variety of great options to look nice either.
I'm not into jackets (I live in the Caribbean very hot) but to me $100 is the way to go. Having said that, I still would prefer black leather traditional over suede
Do you agree that you should go down a size for a thin suede jacket? It doesn't even have to close properly I believe because you can just wear it as an open shacket type of thing. Seems to look better slightly more fitted is my point.
Gent's Lounge it’s a Ralph Lauren Suede bomber jacket. Thankfully I had a coupon and didn’t pay the full $500 price tag lol. But it’s really nice quality and worth it.
I think it also depends on your age. I feel the older you get, you should be able to effort the better quality product. In the same breath I wouldn't drop a 1000 dollars for a jacket either
I think after seeing the difference between faux suede and real suede in person, I can spot a faux piece anywhere. As everybody else is saying, though, you can get real suede for waaaaaay less than $1k.
yeah i mean it depends.. i would be pissed off to clean a suede jacket and be careful to not F**k it up.. i have 2 real leather biker jackets and 2 faux suede jackets .. its the waterproofnes & the easy to clean .. points against suede..
Blake's jacket looks better... But certainly, I would not spend so much on a jacket.... And guys, can u plz come up with a video showing ur respective wardrobes???
Opinion on Allsaints leather jackets? Been looking to get one and they are in the more middle of the road price point compared to the 2 jackets in this video
Got that Kooples Jacket at the Kooples outlet in Toronto for 413 CAD taxes in, originally 1400 CAD. A good sale like that would me spend the money vs something cheap
Honestly, I stick with reiss for any leather product. The fact is once you hit the end of summer sale you are getting a great product. You pay for what get with any leather- bottom line.
both of you look great in these jackets. and they don't look their price. i wouldn't guess 1000 or 100. maybe around 3-500 haha. but yes, they don't look 900 bucks different. but what i would say is that george's jacket fits better on him than blake's one does. i am not a fan of the biker style, if i were any of you, i'd go for the simpler motocross style leather jacket. cheers!
Gent's Lounge I would say so. You know I was looking for white sneakers and heard a lot of good things about Greats and against my better judgement I purchased them and hated those shoes. You can’t compare common projects and greats the difference is far too great in feel look and so on. So when I see suede jackets I see the quality and the potential to be passed down to future generations. If you buy smart and purchase the better product instead of doing the fast fashion trend you’ll be doing the world a favor. Great content though. Suggestion if I may...try the Grand Frank suede jackets.
I gotta agree...that 1,000 one looks super crispy but not worth it imo but for less than 100, that Asos jacket is a steal. Both are beautiful jackets and I feel it's one of the very few trends that should stay. Thanks for bringing this back 💯
I bet if you said the cheap jacket was the expensive one, everyone would say the former looks the best !!!! The $1000 jacket doesn't look like a Biker Jacket, and you need a slightly loose fitting jacket to be comfortable on a Moturbike !!!!
If you take care of your jacket i will last forever. Bought a leather jacket when i was 18 for 300$, the original price was 600$ so i got a good deal. Anywho's, I'm 34 now and it still looks like i just bought it. I rub it with minkoil once a year and it works wonders. You get what you pay for
I would buy the $100 jacket. I've got better things to spend $1000 on and I have 3 Motorbikes !!!! You could buy 10 cheap jackets for less money !!!! The cheap jacket looks better, and is a better colour, and is warmer !!!!! It's probably waterproof too !!!!
Yall should do a Jordan Peterson, Clean Your Room/Make Your Bed type episode. How to properly do laundry, keep your house, take care of your things type videos.
Suede biker jackets will NEVER look good, unless you're a copy/paste skin-fade skinny jean wearing 20-something. You get a bomber or a blouson. I could tell a mile off at how cheap that Asos jacket looked tbh. Just looks poorly tailored.
Terrible video by obviously too unprepared hosts who are sitting down showing they don't really care about showing off the jackets throughout the video or getting to the depth of what my time deserves
Gent's Lounge oh I should have been more descriptive my bad. I meant lamb skin or calfskin for example those tend to not like that good under the $300-400 price range where as suede leather since I guess it’s cut different or however they make them they can look good below $300 which you guys just showed in this video.
Saint Laurent is garbage compared to Schott, Vanson, Aero, or Real Mcoys. Lambskin leather is the worst kind of leather for a jacket. It's not durable.
Sitting down, Blake's jacket form fits him better.
Standing up they both look good on you guys
Lol that 100 jacket looks for sure better at least in video 🤣
Spending about 150- 200 dollars for a real leather jacket would be the best deal I guess :)

Musa Kazmi Fashion did you do the review?
Even from watching the video Blake's jacket is quality and the colour as well is perfect. I like the small collar, and it doesn't seem stiff
I like the cheaper one just because the color would fit me way more tbh. Both look nice

The faux suede jacket actually looks more poppin - at least on vid. Maybe it's just the design.
Thanks man!
why does blake always wear the costlier thing and george the cheaper one??
i had the same thought haha. but hey as long as the clothes look good, guess there's no harm at all
Because Blake actually already has the expensive stuff. Then George has to run out and buy the cheap stuff to make a vid on it. But yeah, so is Blake gifted (so he says) expensive stuff? Like obnoxiously yuge slingbags.
@@TheBooban not really. George owned the combat gents suit and the biker jacket for a while.
We both have cheap and expensive things in our closet. I just happened to have the better looking cheap versions for most of these videos.
-G
The more expensive one looks better. But doesn’t negate that the less expensive one also looks damn good for the price 👌🏾 *Great Video Gents*
DevanOnDeck hey devan!
True! But you know we would all take the $1000 given the chance.
I like the $100 jacket it's clean and smooth looking
blake's one looks cleaner!
I think an all saints in between would be a good middle ground
True!
You can get a genuine suede jacket for 200 bucks, or 150 if you are lucky, I don't see the point in spending 1000 bucks. So, I vote for George :)
i like the cheap one more

100%
They both look good. I just bought a bomber suede jacket that is exactly in between the price of those two and I think it’s worth the price.
From where!?
Gent's Lounge it’s a Ralph Lauren Suede bomber jacket. Thankfully I had a coupon and didn’t pay the full $500 price tag lol. But it’s really nice quality and worth it.
I think it also depends on your age. I feel the older you get, you should be able to effort the better quality product. In the same breath I wouldn't drop a 1000 dollars for a jacket either
Does anyone know where I can get a navy blue suede moto style jacket like the ones shown in this video?
I think after seeing the difference between faux suede and real suede in person, I can spot a faux piece anywhere. As everybody else is saying, though, you can get real suede for waaaaaay less than $1k.
yeah i mean it depends.. i would be pissed off to clean a suede jacket and be careful to not F**k it up.. i have 2 real leather biker jackets and 2 faux suede jackets .. its the waterproofnes & the easy to clean .. points against suede..
Of course Blake has the $1,000 jacket...
is blake wearing a small or a medium in the kooples jacket?
What watch are you guys wearing? Looks sick!
Jack mason
Great video guys, actually really helped me to chose!
Sorry but you can immediately tell the faux suede one from how stiff it looks compared to the drape of the genuine suede
Of course. But would you spend 3x the cost for the real one?
Blake's jacket looks better... But certainly, I would not spend so much on a jacket.... And guys, can u plz come up with a video showing ur respective wardrobes???

I've heard good things. The arms were a bit long in the size I needed from them though.

Nice! Go with what works for you.
-G
Both look similar and will be difficult to tell which one is expensive unless you chose to walk down the street with the price tag attached.
Up close you can see some differences but they are very close.
What are George's stats? I'm debating between a large and xlarge, I'm a 44R and Asos recommends the xl.
I’m 6’1 210 and wear 42r. I’d say buy both and return one
@@gentslounge thanks!
Hey George where are the sunglasses from they are killer?
True Vintage Revival
Can yall do a video on how to dress for a summer wedding?
N Tran Nylon suit is way to go
Gee I like ur style of jacket, I brought a vegan suede one from banana Republic bomber for $40 and people love it
Awesome. Just so you know, there is no such thing as "vegan suede" it just means fake leather.
Is it last long?
Still have it
@@gentslounge does it peel?
@@watchdetective no
If would cost the same, i would pick the one from the right, thr cheaper one 😁 looks better
Fair enough!
Bro, the quality is obviously better in the 1k jacket. That 100$ one looks cheap on screen.
Bro, we know! But does it look $900 better?

Grand Frank makes a great jacket! We have worked with them on a few different projects.
@@DailyRitualW4r10ck greats makes a great shoe
@@stevenjm12 Yes, they do, but not better than Common Projects. The quality and the silhouette of the CP's far out weigh the budget of the Greats.
Velvet Bomber Jacket 😉.
I gotta agree...that 1,000 one looks super crispy but not worth it imo but for less than 100, that Asos jacket is a steal. Both are beautiful jackets and I feel it's one of the very few trends that should stay. Thanks for bringing this back 💯
Agreed!
The 1000 dollar one is on sale now. Under 500 dollars
Got a link?!
You guys should do watch comparisons on worth it like between Blake's Carl F. Bucherer and other watches
We could do that!
Expensive wins here....The color, fit & design are better... Cheap one is ok...But I'll peak $1000 jacket...
I bet if you said the cheap jacket was the expensive one, everyone would say the former looks the best !!!! The $1000 jacket doesn't look like a Biker Jacket, and you need a slightly loose fitting jacket to be comfortable on a Moturbike !!!!
I don't like the way the shoulder seams are bunching up on the cheaper jacket... so, fail
it's all about how it feels when u put it on man. I'd rather few hundred bucks more to make sure I am comfortable
Same here.
1000 looks good but a lil bit expensive
To me its worth it to get a real high quality one
Go on eBay and buy used
Nice content
If you take care of your jacket i will last forever.
Bought a leather jacket when i was 18 for 300$, the original price was 600$ so i got a good deal.
Anywho's, I'm 34 now and it still looks like i just bought it. I rub it with minkoil once a year and it works wonders.
You get what you pay for
I would buy the $100 jacket. I've got better things to spend $1000 on and I have 3 Motorbikes !!!! You could buy 10 cheap jackets for less money !!!! The cheap jacket looks better, and is a better colour, and is warmer !!!!! It's probably waterproof too !!!!
Not worth it for $1000 looks or not. Even if u wear it daily, you could buy 8 - 9 (taxes) if u destroy it instead of one jacket for a grand
True. But it does look damn good.
@@gentslounge true :)
Difference is that one is real leather and the other one isn't

i bought that kooples jacket for 300$ at an outlet so you got robbed my friend
The reason I hate outlets....... I once saw a Paul Smith jacket I bought for $2100 at an outlet for $600.... killed me.
@@gentslounge haah you gotta not buy them right when they come out! just got some SL Suede boots for 400 instead of 1000 too
Good find!
Suede biker jackets will NEVER look good, unless you're a copy/paste skin-fade skinny jean wearing 20-something. You get a bomber or a blouson. I could tell a mile off at how cheap that Asos jacket looked tbh. Just looks poorly tailored.

😰
For suede jackets it’s not worth it but with leather it’s worth going for the more expensive item
Suede is leather though.
Gent's Lounge oh I should have been more descriptive my bad. I meant lamb skin or calfskin for example those tend to not like that good under the $300-400 price range where as suede leather since I guess it’s cut different or however they make them they can look good below $300 which you guys just showed in this video.
Saint Laurent is garbage compared to Schott, Vanson, Aero, or Real Mcoys. Lambskin leather is the worst kind of leather for a jacket. It's not durable.
That jacket isn't from Saint Laurent?
Suede jackets will go out of style in a few years. Suede bomber jacket is cheaper and better investment for a trend.
no I could tell right away on video...
Good job!
