On Leather Jacket vs. Suede Jacket — Which Do You Prefer?
I’m really sorry, I didn’t read your whole comment! 😅 I’m pretty sure that’s just a regular faux leather jacket not vegan.

On Leather Jacket vs. Suede Jacket — Which Do You Prefer?

I used to be firmly in the leather camp until I tried on a suede trucker jacket on a whim. The fit and the softness completely changed my mind. Still keeping my leather one, but the suede gets way…

On Is It Better to Own a Perfect Costume Replica or an Original Piece Used in the Actual Movie?
I think people underestimate how cool a really accurate replica can be. If someone spent months getting every little detail right, I’d appreciate the craftsmanship too.

On We Recreated Michael Jackson’s Thriller Jacket
First of all, good try, but I wouldn’t call this a masterpiece. If you actually look at the MJ Thriller jacket, the shoulders are more of a winged shape, not flat. I read somewhere that the designer…
