I've seen a few of these (Tory Burch, Lafayette 148), and think it is a fabulous luxe concept. Magazine ready!

Hi Adam - I wear leather jackets all year round. Summer can be cold here. I don't own one that is perforated leather but I love that look. Did you watch Star Trek Picard? The designer did amazing leather jackets with perforated leather inserts. The entire cast raved and wanted to take them home. I would definitely have taken a black/black jacket. Very elegant, unique and I love the temperature regulation! Awesome!

I will be in San Francisco tomorrow for an early dinner but will likely be walking a bit outside where it’s likely to be windy and in the high 50s or low 60s. If I don’t wear my black actual leather moto, I will probably wear one of these two faux leather jackets. If I don’t wear the first I should return it since I’ve owned it for awhile and haven’t yet worn it. I bought the one on the right first. It will fit over almost anything including bulky sleeves.

Summer temps haven’t really hit where I live; no such thing as hot MONTHS. I’m hoping to get a few hot weeks total after those hot days are squished together so as to justify the cool breezy clothes I own.

Hi Roberta! you're absolutely right. It can indeed be a fabulous concept when executed correctly.

Opting for a lightweight, thinner leather and styles like the classic biker can make a leather jacket work even in the warmer months. Pair it with a lightweight top and you're good to go.

Hello Gryffin,

I love your enthusiasm for leather jackets! It's interesting to hear that you can sport them all year round, even during summer, thanks to your local climate.

Perforated leather is indeed a great way to adapt a leather jacket to warmer temperatures while maintaining that distinctive leather aesthetic. I'm thrilled that you appreciate this look!
