2025 Selection Criteria: How We Test
In our annual benchmark, every piece must pass rigorous workshop standards:
- Zero Corrected Leather: Only full-grain European hides qualify. No bonded, genuine, or polyurethane-coated splits.
- Hardware Integrity: Zippers must be genuine metal teeth (YKK Excella or equivalent) rated for tens of thousands of cycles.
- Wearability & Cut: Proportioned for European body shapes without excess torso ballooning.
- Fair Pricing: Direct workshop economics without 4x retail department store markups.
