About leather
I'm not certain where he's going with that closing paragraph, but for the money, fabric generally offer superior abrasion resistance than leather. In fact, when you get into the higher weight fabrics, I'm not certain that leather can beat it. Leather has certain advantages, sure, but fabric is the better way to go on the street. Except for the "I'm cool factor," of course. The reason the aerostitch is the boss dog of street wear is partially because of the inherent ability of fabric to be washable, wearable, abrasion resistant, and resistant to the elements.
