Amazon Essentials Faux Leather Moto

Available on Amazon with Prime shipping. Returns are easy if it doesn't fit. Honestly, just don't buy this as a real leather alternative — the Thursday Café Racer costs about 8x as much but lasts far longer.

The Amazon Essentials Faux Leather Moto at $50-80 looks acceptable for the first year; owner reviews then converge on visible cracking at the elbows somewhere around the 18-month mark. There is no patina — only failure. A sticking unbranded zipper is the other recurring complaint. The lining is thin polyester that doesn't breathe. As an answer to 'something that looks like a leather jacket' for one season, it works. As a leather jacket, it does not.
