I like when my woman wears LEATHER corsets in the bedroom! Yummy!! LOL

Ok Ok All kidding aside.. My Leather Jacket is from Wilsons leathers and I constantly get compliments all the time..Its real heavy and has a removable Thinsulate liner. It also has zipper wrists, Zipper vent fronts and leather stitching on both sides for more room with hanging leather stings. looks bad *** and keeps me warm as hell.. I love it for $250.00

I got a Harley Jacket and have had it for about 6 years. It has held up very well. I don't remember the name of it, but it is the plain one with 4 zippered pockets and no logo on the back. I think the only visible HD markings are on the collar snaps.

Default Thanks for the input

thanks for all the suggestions and opinions on different brands. Something has to be done soon. Rode this weekend and between getting caught in hail storm and then riding in upper 30's low 40's I need to get something a bit warmer.

Whatever jacket you get, consider one with a removable liner so you can wear it in different weather conditions and one with armor for increased protection if you should need it.

Several years ago I bought a traditional leather motocycle jacket from San Diego leather. I paid $230 for leather jacket made right there in their factory in SD. Unbelievable quality. They've been in business for 26 years and I was very happy with my purchase. its twice the jacket my Harley one was and I wear it all the time. Being in the leather business I'm fussy about the leather I wear and these guys are first rate. I also know where they buy there leather so I know they're using top of the line hides. You can also have one custom made for another $30. http://www.sandiegoleather.com/mens_...le_jackets.php. When you look at their website it's kinda hokey as they do carry import as well. If you call them make sure you get the a jacket that they make in house.
