    Surely this would depend on how they are kept. Long time in the sun; stored in the dark in a wardrobe, etc, etc.

    I feel the same way about helmets.

    No, good point - it's (something else's) skin I guess.

    It's a summer jacket, so considerable exposure to UV around 4-5 months every year, and it shows (fading).

    I'd def keep this sort well oiled and indoors. Too much sun exposure could lead to a leathery appearance, and organizing "textile" replacement a moot point anyway.
