Default Another Leather Jacket Question

I've read the posts here about leather jackets, and was just wondering if anyone had any new recommendations. Someone here recommended this:

http://www.leatherup.com/p/Mens-Moto...919B15D5E3D216

Looks like a good jacket at a very good price. I wish it were made in America. The American made jackets I've seen are too much of a hit to my wallet ($400). Right now my plan is to go with the jacket from leatherup, but I'd appreciate hearing any suggestions. Thanks.

I bought a jacket in my size from Leatherup and it was too small. I returned it and a got a size bigger but it was still a little small around the waist but way too ridiculously big in the arms. Last time I order a jacket online. The boots I got from them were fine though.

This is the one I got except it didn't have a zip out liner http://www.leatherup.com/p/Mens-Moto...ing/40414.html

Except for the crappy sizing the leather seemed really nice and it was a heavy jacket. I've got it hanging in the dining room and it has been worn maybe 1 time. What a waste of a nice looking jacket.

I have the exact same jacket,,,,,,,,it's not a good jacket to wear on days when the temps are in the 90's
