Leather jackets are graded; there are several, and this reflects upon the leather quality and characteristic of it.
1. Full-Grain Leather: This men black leather jacket is of the highest grade, retains natural grain and imperfections, used for most durable, good-quality items, and highly valued for its beautiful patina.
2. Top-Grain Leather: It is a little inferior in quality; sanded to provide a finer finish, more pliable but not as tough as full-grain.
3. Corrected Grain Leather: Treated to conceal imperfections, therefore less expensive but not character-filled as more suitable grades are.
4. Bonded Leather: Scraps and fibers, lowest quality and less tough
5. Suede: Soft, slightly textured, underside of hide, but a high maintenance product.
