Look at the back of the "leather" - if it's any kind of fabric or knit, it isn't leather. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-leather-jackets-expire#post-2099785 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 22:46:29 +0000 Lieselotte Kander 2099785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How to check leather is genuine or not? Price matters? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-leather-jackets-expire#post-2099778 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 22:26:43 +0000 Janet 2099778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like bonded leather to me. It's made of scraps of real leather, and can eventually disintegrate or peel. I think it's awful that anything can be labeled "leather" when it's actually bonded leather. It's like calling particleboard wood.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-leather-jackets-expire#post-2099775 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 22:22:42 +0000 The Cat 2099775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sorry to tell you that this does not sound like genuine leather. Quality leather items can last for decades. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-leather-jackets-expire#post-2099769 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 21:55:05 +0000 Lieselotte Kander 2099769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In simple words, leather flaked off from a specific area. The other parts are fine. But the back area from the middle has this issue.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-leather-jackets-expire#post-2099767 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 21:47:12 +0000 Suz 2099767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never heard of this with real leather. It sounds like something that happens sometimes with faux leather.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-leather-jackets-expire#post-2099758 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 21:22:33 +0000 Lieselotte Kander 2099758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello!</p> <p>Actually, last week I took out some dressing stuff from cupboard storage including camel coats and leather jackets but one leather jacket made me crazy because the leather was rubbing in the foam of big pieces.&nbsp;</p> <p>It was a creepy situation for me because that leather jacket was only 2 years old. I don't know exactly the brand but it was not very cheap. Then I watched several leather jacket repair videos but most of them revolve around stitching them but my issue is about the erase of leather from the back of the jacket. My friend also suggested me to buy any of these <a rel="nofollow" href="https://leather-toolkits.com/reviews/best-leather-repair-kits/">leather repair kits</a> but I am not in the mood of paying that money.</p> <p>According to my mom, I should cut a piece of leather belt and should switch it at the affected areas. In that case, my jacket would also look trendy. What are your views in this regard? Do you think more leather will erase from a jacket? What precautions should I use?</p> <p>If you have gone through from this kind of situation then also share your experiences.&nbsp;</p>
