I have this one from the late 70's, zip in liner, still going strong and the zippers and grippers have never failed. Sleeves are long for riding too. I wasn't even looking for one and had no idea who Schott was, I just thought it looked cool and bought it at a garage sale for $40. I'd buy another if anything happened to it. Horse hide feels great and the "footballs" sewn into the armpits are great for reaching. It's more for summer spring and fall riding because it's short wasted and has the low collar.

Excellent comments above on FXRG leather jacket. I have one and a Fox Creek jacket. Both great and easily available to order and try on. Just saw an email today from Fox Creek offering a 15% off sale. Those guys are first class.

Reax folsom jacket is a solid jacket for the price $279

foxcreek, schott, espinoza all will tailor to your build but of course at a cost. It’s a good investment as they are for life if maintained well

I picked a nice broken-in jacket at the thrift a couple weeks ago. It looks to be ex NYPD w/ removed shoulder patches, no damage. Didn't need but at $35. I couldn't pass up
