Short answer: Material and construction decide comfort and durability. Real leather generally ages better, while faux leather is easier to maintain but may not last as long.
- Real leather: develops a natural patina over time and can be conditioned.
- Faux leather: lower maintenance and often lighter, but can crack or peel with heavy use.
- Suede: soft and stylish, but needs more protection from water and stains.
- Lining: a good lining improves comfort and warmth.
Tip: If you want an everyday jacket, focus on fit, stitching, and hardware (zippers/snaps).
