My opinion is that textiles are usually "one use only" when they go down whereas leathers can often times be used again. Textiles don't keep the armor located as well while you're sliding, flopping down the road. I have lots of leather and a couple textile jackets and when I wear textile I know that I'm taking more risk when I go out, in trade for lighter weight and better ventilation when its 90+ outside and a bazzillion humidity.
