The best leather jackets are as soft as butter, well-fitting at the shoulder, and preferably under £1K. But this latter point is surprisingly hard to find, as as soon as brands start to incorporate this luxe fabric, price tags shoot up. Luckily, as the leather jacket has evolved into a wardrobe staple, high-street brands have blessed us with more affordable versions that look so much more refined than they might have done a few years ago within the same price bracket.
