What difference does it make in actual wear when cotton is used instead of leather for a rider jacket?
Rider jackets are often made of leather, but since it is listed as 100% cotton, it makes one wonder how the weight and wearing comfort will differ when actually worn.
The Washed Rider Jacket is made of 100% cotton material, making it lighter in weight and more flexible with body movements than a typical leather jacket[1].
A rider jacket originally refers to outerwear made of tough leather to withstand wind and friction when riding a motorcycle. On the other hand, the material information left by HYEIN SEO regarding the Washed Rider Jacket is simply the designation 100% Cotton[2]. Although the brand did not directly state why it chose cotton instead of leather, when the material changes, the wearing experience differs significantly.
In general, compared to leather, cotton is lighter in weight and has good breathability, putting less strain on the body even when worn for a long time. In particular, cotton fabric that has undergone a washing process has lost its stiffness, folding and wrapping flexibly according to body movements. Unlike leather, which requires dedicated care due to its sensitivity to moisture and stains, it also differs in being easier to store and handle in everyday life.
hmmm, it is closer to a composition that relieves everyday weight and the hassle of care while maintaining the structural shape characteristic of a rider jacket.
