    Some fashion products have legit reasons to be expensive, instead of just a mark-ups or 'brand creds'. And if you like & can afford that & they're good on your body or better, serve you a purpose then yeah!

    I've sewn a leather jacket made from a good local lamb nappa & good but ordinary hardwares such as YKK zipper. That could be sold around $400 direct. But if I were to use French or Italian lamb nappa (not much different though, except for the pigment coating) & some elusive hardwares like vintage Talon zipper then it could be easily goes up to $2000 direct. And if you are opt for gator skin...
