You CAN still wear a leather jacket in Vietnam's hot, humid summer — just choose thin, lightweight leather and pick the right occasions (evenings, air-conditioned rooms, riding). For something light, cool, and elegant, go with thin lambskin; for rugged durability, cowhide, though it runs hotter. The key is mold-preventive storage after each wear.

Lambskin is thin, soft, and light, so it's less stifling and drapes beautifully in warm weather — great for evenings, air-conditioned venues, and casual strolls; the trade-off is that it scratches easily. Cowhide is thick, warm, and durable — perfect for the biker look but hotter, so it's usually saved for cooler days. Whichever you choose, summer means heavy sweating: after wearing, wipe the jacket dry and let the moisture air out before storing, and use a dust bag and desiccant to prevent mold. No harsh sun, and never store it while still damp with sweat.
