They're real leather, they usually use cowhide but use a few other leather types and some textile. They don't use fake leathers.

The leather is a lot softer and a little thinner than Schott, or Vanson. But I think the quality of the leather is still good. They use drum dying, at least on some jackets, which means the color won't fade as fast as a very cheap jacket. They're also made for riding, so they have to have fairly strong materials and stitching to survive sliding down a highway.

They have one jacket which says "0.08-0.09mm" thickness, and I think that has to be a typo, because leather that thin would be like paper. Fashion jackets don't even go that thin, they range from 0.5mm-0.9mm, so if you get a jacket with a thickness of 1.0mm and up, then you already have something unusually robust.

Yep I've been looking at their website now and looked up other reviews and they seem to be well made. Bookmarked this for now so I know what I want and can get one around when I'm done with this cheap jacket haha. Appreciate all the suggestions and info!!
