Best Place to Get Genuine/Faux Leather or Suede Bomber Jackets?

As per title. Im looking to replace my Kmart faux suede bomber jacket who had served me well for 1.5 years. Not bad for $35. Now Im ready to invest in a similar or better jacket. I work as a teacher so I need something quite durable with all-day teaching activities. Im thinking workwear like this but i dont think suede options are out there: https://www.totallyworkwear.com.au/workwear/jackets/hard-yak…

My budget for a faux leather or suede: max $35 including postage
My budget for genuine leather or suede: max $80 (hope it will last forever)

    Genuine leather that cost $80 max and last forever? Forget it, it doesn't exist. A cotton jacket is already up in the 100+.

    This is the one I've got though.

    Bought 2009 for $189 and still going strong today. Works out to be cheaper than your Kmart $35 jacket and I've got a quality product for years.

    Amazon.com.au has a large selection of jackets. Might be worth a look.

  • I picked up a genuine leather jacket off gumtree for great price. Seems to be plenty of older ladies clearing out husband's wardrobes and the older styles are still popular today.

    just go to Zara/H&M/Cotton On… one of those will have it

  • Did you know that "genuine leather" actually doesn't mean what you think it means? It's not a single piece but rather the off cuts glued together. Just something to keep in mind when looking at prices.

      Don’t forget to sew on elbow patches
