Looks amazing and bought some camel leather Moroccan belts recently which were very cheap and are great quality. Sounds like those shops are too touristy for any bargains. I bought a suede leather jacket 30 years ago which I still have and cherish and have never seen one similar since.

I had never considered camel leather before coming here, but I have to say the quality did seemed quite good.
I am glad you can still use and enjoy that jacket you purchased all those years ago. That is one thing I love about good leather, if you take care of it, it can last a lifetime. I ended up getting a suede jacket as well, just not at this shop. Hopefully my jacket lasts at least 30 years as well.
Yes that s very true ad why I took my jacket into be cleaned by a specialist dry cleaning company. It took a month and 3 processes and they even applied a special oil so the color returned like new. Most dry cleaners cannot do this so be careful and find one who does leather.
That is a great tip. I hadn't even considered how I would clean mine, as it is still good with the occasional shake through the air. I guess after 30 years it will likely need a more thorough cleaning. I will be sure to take it to a specialist dry cleaner when that day comes. I'm glad your jacket is still in good condition after all these years.
