But realistically, buying a quality leather jacket can become a substantial financial investment — one that most guys aren't ready to make (myself included).
Most worthwhile options cost around $700 or more, which, for a while, meant that my only chance of getting a premium yet affordable leather jacket would be in a thrift store.
That was, until I found out one of my favorite shoe startups was making really nice leather jackets without the retail markup.
Very seldom will you find a genuine leather jacket of this quality at an under-$500 price.
According to a currency inflation calculator, the $700 my dad spent on his leather jacket in 1996 is equivalent to $1,121.24 in today's dollars.
