EDIT NOTE: This thread has been moved to the correct forum.

Carrying a leather jacket (/hat) is not a problem. You wont be offending anyone. It's very hard to offend Indians.

As a side note, India is one of the highest exporters of leather goods including Jackets.

if you're going to be in a warm part of India, then is doesn't make sense. Anywhere south of Madhya Paradesh and you're unlikely to need in for the next three to four months
