Vegan Leather Jackets

Finding stylish, high-quality, ethically-made vegan leather jackets isn't always easy. That's why, since 2020, we've been making vegan leather jackets and vegan suede jackets with the kind of attention to detail you'd expect from Will's Vegan Shoes.

These are the most frequently asked questions about Vegan Leather Jackets:

Is Leather Not Just a By-Product? Why Do We Need Vegan Leather Jackets?

Leather is not merely a by-product of the meat industry; it is a co-product. The leather industry contributes to the profitability of livestock farming. This means that the production and sale of leather directly support and incentivize the raising and slaughtering of animals. Some cows are raised specifically for their hides. The leather industry involves the confinement, mistreatment, and slaughter of animals. Opting for vegan leather jackets, vegan shoes and other cruelty-free alternatives helps reduce the demand for animal-derived materials and promotes more ethical and sustainable practices in fashion.

What Are Your Vegan Leather Jackets Made From?

Material Composition

  • 100% PU Vegan Leather: Our vegan leather jackets are made from 100% polyurethane (PU), a high-quality synthetic material designed to replicate the appearance and feel of traditional animal leather. 

Production Process

  • Made in Italy: Each piece of our PU vegan leather is produced in Italy, known for its exceptional manufacturing standards. The process involves applying a polyurethane coating to a fabric backing, creating a durable and flexible material that maintains the classic look of leather while ensuring ethical production practices.

Cruelty-free

  • Ethical and Cruelty-Free: Traditional leather is not just a by-product of the meat industry; it is a co-product that directly supports and incentivizes the raising and slaughtering of animals. By choosing our vegan leather jackets, you are opting for a cruelty-free alternative that does not contribute to the exploitation or harm of animals.

Sustainability focus

  • Environmental Impact: The production of PU vegan leather is generally more resource-efficient compared to traditional leather. While PU is synthetic, its use reduces the need for animal farming and the associated environmental issues such as deforestation, methane emissions, and extensive water use. Our jackets offer a stylish alternative that reduces the negative environmental impacts associated with animal leather.

Sustainable Fashion: Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond the materials we use. By choosing vegan leather, we are promoting a more ethical and environmentally conscious fashion industry. PU leather helps reduce the demand for animal-derived materials and encourages more sustainable practices within the fashion world.

How Long Will Your Vegan Leather Jackets Last?

When investing in a vegan leather jacket, it's important to understand its durability and longevity. Here’s what you can expect from our jackets and how to ensure they stand the test of time:

Durability of Vegan Leather

  • High-Quality PU Material: Our vegan leather jackets are made from 100% polyurethane (PU) leather, which is designed to be durable and resilient. PU leather is known for its strength and flexibility, allowing it to withstand everyday wear and tear while maintaining its appearance.
  • Italian Craftsmanship: Produced in Italy to stringent quality standards, our jackets benefit from expert craftsmanship. The PU coating applied to the fabric backing creates a robust material that mimics traditional leather but is less prone to cracking and peeling. This ensures your jacket retains its stylish look over time.

Longevity Factors

  • Care and Maintenance: Proper care can significantly extend the life of your vegan leather jacket. Regularly clean it with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and stains. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the PU coating. For best results, store your jacket in a cool, dry place and avoid exposure to excessive heat or direct sunlight, which can degrade the material.
  • Wear and Usage: Vegan leather jackets are designed to be durable, but like any garment, their lifespan can vary depending on usage. Wearing your jacket for everyday activities and following care instructions will help maintain its condition. Avoid excessive bending or stretching, as this can affect the PU coating over time.

Quality Construction: Our jackets are designed with attention to detail, including reinforced stitching and quality zippers. This thoughtful construction contributes to the overall durability and longevity of the jacket, ensuring it remains a staple in your wardrobe for years to come.
