Rollstuhlwolf, he's not in leather. The shiny parts on him is the blood splatter. His pants and shirt seem to be cotton-based. As for remakes, it's actually both ways on that one. I mean, "hoaky, cheesy, and terrible film making" isn't limited to the 70s and 80s. Hell, a LOT of horror movies NOW are just as bad. Sure, they use state of the art techniques, all these sorts of camera angles and tinted filters to make it LOOK polished, but the movies AREN'T any better than the old ones. They still suffer from horrible writing, directing and acting. Rarely do you get a good horror movie now, but it's not different.
