Opinions on two leather jackets

[westinghouse]

Those skins are horrendous. Too shiny and no grain. Pleathery, vinyl-like and unnatural plus the styles are old-mannish.

While not convinced that the leather is first rate, I'd also be concerned w/the quality of manufacture- the shoulder work looks iffy. If you're looking for cheap then dozo.

A fatwa is a religious ruling by an Islamic scholar. Of course this can refer to any ruling by any Islamic scholar, which includes a death sentence.

As for Jihad this does not mean specifically holy way, but rather struggle. Unless if you happen to be speaking English where jihad is only really used for just that meaning.

There is just a lot of leather going around; excess supply.
I wouldn't say "better", but they do supply a hell lot of leather. No experience with Etsy, Wilsons leather might be a viable alternative since they are legit. Made from the same **** leather

Hey what do you expect for $99. First one is probably made of nubuck buffalo leather. I have harrington styled one also made in pakistan. Not bad for the price I paid

I won't expect much either, sometimes you'd be surprised. I got mine on retail, the fit was perfect and still holds up.

Both look cheap. The second one looks dreadful.
