I like both. I own three Linea jackets with knit and find them very comfortable to wear even indoors. I also have all leather or suede jackets, and love those too. I don't think it's an either or.


@Marlyn1,I just get too cold inside in a blouse without a sweater.  

A knit sleeve under another knit sleeve looks horrible.

[ Edited ]

I own leather and suede jackets with and without knit panels/sleeves.  I have to say with the knit sleeves/panels they are much more comfortable to wear.  My problem is my weather.  Here in the PNW it is often raining in the winter - not good for suede or leather.  I don't remember wearing any of them last year winter.

 

PS:  It does not get cold enough here to need a sweater under the jacket.  A t-neck does it fine.

Re: Fall Approaches! How Much Knit Do You Like In A Leather Jacket?

I only have one jacket with knit sleeves.  It's one of Bob Mackie's embroidered suede jackets.  I've had it a long time.  It's real suede.  

 

For this item - I think the knit sleeves work design-wise.  Thinking about my other suede and leather items ... I can't imagine them with knit sleeves.

 

For future purchases?  It all depends on the particular item.  I really can't say one way or the other.  I have to see it.

Yup, all leather for me.

@ID2,Yep!  Fall is being put in the stores.  Apparently, you're not interested in this discussion.

Re: Fall Approaches! How Much Knit Do You Like In A Leather Jacket?

I like and own both. It can be difficult to layer a sweater under the sweater sleeves of a jacket so I usually don't do that.
