There really is no way you could tell leather quality with those photos or even most photos. If you like the Burberry one better you like it better

Wish I knew what classes as 'quality' leather. I just liked the structured look of prosum. Leather felt thicker vs SL

He's probably refering to the waxy looking finish on the prorsum, which you do see on a lot of lower quality leathers.
Every prorsum piece I've owned or handled has been top notch, so if you like the look more, go for it. Even if you don't know what 'quality' is, it's probably there in spades.

Can I get your thoughts on this Rick Owens shearling Bauhaus?
Never seen one in person before, but to my novice eye... the quality of the materials looks to be amazing! Would probably have to wait for it to drop to at least around $3000 later this year though.

Can anyone comment on the leather/sizing of the RO Sternberg secret hood? I've been looking for a nice minimalist black leather jacket and this seems to fit the bill.

Received my heavy calf stooges, gotta say this is the best leather i ever felt on an RO so far. I think i have my grail... well 2 of them at the moment.

@GarleyCavidson thank you for helping me with the sizing and the good conversation in between.

@thekunk07 how do you not have 3 of these?

That heavy calf Stooges really look nice. I just wish it didn't have epaulets.
