On Leather Jacket vs. Suede Jacket — Which Do You Prefer?
Why not both? I wear leather in the colder months and switch to suede in spring and early fall. They don't really compete with each other in my wardrobe.

On Is It Better to Own a Perfect Costume Replica or an Original Piece Used in the Actual Movie?
I’d go replica, but only if it was REALLY accurate. Not just “inspired by” the original. I’d want the same materials, colors, stitching and little details.

On Which Movie Jacket Would You Most Like to Own?
The Terminator’s leather jacket is my choice. It’s such a straightforward design, but the fit, finish, and overall silhouette make it instantly recognizable.

On How Do You Clean Leather Garments Without Damaging Them?
Since it’s lambskin, I’d be pretty careful with it. From the photo, it looks like the black finish may be getting dry/scuffed rather than just having dirt on it. I’d start by gently wiping it with a…

On Are the Avengers: Doomsday Suits Finally Giving Fans the Comic Accuracy They Wanted?
But I feel like it would have been a little too basic for a live-action movie. It was a cool Easter egg, but other than that, I don’t think I would’ve liked to see that plain red costume in a…

On Are the Avengers: Doomsday Suits Finally Giving Fans the Comic Accuracy They Wanted?
I think now that they’ve settled the copyright issues, that’s probably why they’re going with more comic-accurate suits. Before, Fox was making the X-Men movies, and they weren’t really using those…
