I love luxury, but sometimes integrity comes well ahead of luxury. A moto jacket could have the softest suede and a beautifully rendered collar, yes. It’s great.
But a biker jacket could also make the most out of a more rugged suede with a slender cut and simple lines. I prioritize integrity and how I plan to wear the piece.
What I evaluate:
* drape
* collar construction
* does the cut make sense for the material
* topstitching & structure
Note the more rugged suede that Sézane uses works well for the tighter silhouette and boho look. In that way, it’s similar to Quince making the most of its suede by cutting the jacket closer to the body, setting you NOT to expect that rich drape we see at Brunello and Banana.
That’s integrity.
No, I wouldn’t turn down the Brunello jacket, but I would be very nervous to wear it. Gelato is my favorite food.
