le vs se

How come for certain reflexive verbs we use le instead of se? For example Él le gusta la chaqueta. The jacket is pleasing to him.

Hola Monika

The verb gustar is not using the reflexive pronoun "se" - it is an indirect object pronoun, this is why it is "le", it´s never "se". If you have a look at this kwiziq lesson on gustar you will find a further explanation on these pronouns. Have a look here.
