Leather jackets from fashion houses (Gucci, Philipp Plein...) focus on style, trends, and branding — typically soft, thin leather with a beautiful finish that prioritizes aesthetics. Purpose-built jackets (Schott, Vanson) focus on biker function: thick cowhide, sturdy stitching, decades of durability, and a patina that develops over time — "buy once, wear for life".

Details
- Fashion leather jackets: trend-driven cuts, typically soft and lightweight leather (nappa/lambskin) with plenty of decorative details; the price reflects the brand and design; durability and the ability to "break in beautifully" are usually not the focus.
- Purpose-built leather jackets (heritage/biker): Schott and Vanson use heavyweight cowhide, protective construction, YKK zippers, and sturdy stitching — heavy and stiff at first but extremely durable, looking better with every wear, repairable, and built to last.
Choose by goal: trendy, light, and elegant → fashion; durable, characterful, and long-lasting → purpose-built. Specific product lines from each brand should be verified by the team.
