Guides
What we know from making jackets at volume for brands that sell them into the US.
These are written to be useful whether or not you ever buy from us. A buyer who understands where the money goes argues about the right things – leather grade and hardware, rather than whether a quote is hiding something.
Understanding the product
What you are actually buying, and the vocabulary suppliers use when they do not want you looking too closely.
Leather grades explained
What “genuine leather” actually means, why it is the lowest useful grade, and the three questions to ask any supplier.
What a leather jacket costs you, landed
What drives the price, and a calculator that turns a unit price into your landed cost, your duty and your profit on one order.
Understanding the costs
The two numbers that decide whether an order makes money, and that most suppliers leave you to discover on your own.
Landed cost and duty, explained
The charge that ruins a first-time importer’s margin, with the published duty rate for each product and a worked example.
MOQ realities
Why factories want a hundred pieces, what a small run costs them, and how a supplier can take a single piece without losing money.

The calculator runs on our published prices and the duty rate for your garment. When the number works, a sample tells you whether the quality does.
