Default Pakistani leather jackets?

This is an offshoot from another thread but has anyone ever bought one of the MoCo leather jackets from one of those celeb jacket sites? I know they’re knock offs. If you have what do you think? I know $100 vs $450 there’s gotta be a huge difference

Paki leather is made from dead Taliban fighters.

No joke do some digging you'll find part of the curing process for cheap leather from 3rd world counties is soaking in animal urine. Once wet it does stink.

Camel urine would be my guess.

A long time ago in my 20's, I bought a Perfecto knockoff online. It was Paki leather. Not bad, but I have to agree on the stink when it got wet. Smelled like wet dog.

I finally bought myself a real Perfecto 618 a few years ago. Night and day.

Do yourself a favor and invest in genuine leather. Better yet, get a Perfecto
