Leather last with a minimal amount of care. Get a good leather jacket. I have several that are old and a couple newer ones. Get your jacket with a good liner and check the stitching. I work too hard for my money to overpay for a jacket. Just show patience and watch for the sales. Weather determines which jacket gets worn because the warmest jackets are heavy. Vest is a luxury item to me. Even on a tight budget there are intelligent ways to purchase both with quality by showing patience and shopping wisely.

Hey, everybody. I am in the market for a new leather jacket & a new vest. Somewhat budget constrained, I am looking for everybody's opinion whether or not to buy a nicer jacket and skimp on the vest, or buy a nice vest and not necessarily a top-of-the-line jacket.
I will wear the vest every time I ride, and admittedly, I do not wear a jacket nearly as much as I should, usually only on super cold days. I currently live in lower AL (LA), so I ride all year, and I'm from Minnesota, so I don't think you need a jacket on lots of days when everyone else does.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance...

I asked wideglidebob's mommy, and she told me to ask the forum.

I spent 230 and some change for a Pakistan Bison hide jacket from Hudson Leather in Ohio this year and its so heavy it reminds me of my military flak jacket lol. I wear it for protection first and looks second. Vests are ok but don't offer any protection worth noting.
