Rock & Republic Men's Faux Leather Distressed Moto Field Jacket
Rock & Republic (Rock & Roll Platinum collection) · Clothing & Accessories > Men's Outerwear
Era / Decade
Late 2000s to early 2010s, likely from the brand's Kohl's-era partnership (post-2011).
Material
Faux leather (Polyurethane/PVC) with a polyester lining. The distressing is a factory-applied finish to mimic aged cowhide.
Condition
Good. The exterior shows intentional distressing, but there appears to be some heavy wear around the collar edges and pocket flaps which may be actual peeling of the synthetic material rather than just design.
Demand Level
Moderate. Demand for Rock & Republic peaked in the 2000s, but there is a steady niche market for their outerwear in the fall and winter months.

Comparable Sales
Recent sales for Rock & Republic faux leather jackets on eBay and Poshmark range from $30 to $60 depending on the complexity of the design and the amount of material peeling present.
Description
Edgy and rugged, this Rock & Republic 'Rock & Roll Platinum' jacket features a heavily distressed brown faux-leather finish.

Authenticity Indicators
Internal 'Rock & Republic' woven neck label with 'Rock & Roll Platinum' insignia; branded metal hardware tabs. Confidence level: High (this brand is not commonly counterfeited).
Flaws to Note
Synthetic leather 'peeling' at friction points (cuffs and collar) is common for this brand and is difficult to repair. Check the interior lining for tears in the armpits.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Depop, or eBay. Depop is especially good for this 'distressed/grunge' aesthetic among younger buyers.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Grunge', 'Biker', 'Distressed', 'Moto', and 'Streetwear' in the title. Take clear photos of the material texture and any areas where the faux leather might be cracking. Mention it is a size Small, as Rock & Republic tends to have a slim fit.
