Good Leather Jacket for riding?
I am a new rider and will be in need of a good leather jacket for riding soon anyone have any good recommendations on where to look? I looked at a few at the dealership but they seemed kind of high $$$$$$ and I didnt care for any of them that much as far as styling. Also whats a good weight leather to really cut the wind without being too restrictive? I live in Louisiana so it doesnt get too cold here maybe high 20s but thats pretty shortlived but it gets cold enough that moving on a bike at night should get pretty frosty. If you have any input on where to find a good riding jacket please let me know. Thanks in advance

+ another one for Leathup. I got this jacket: www.leatherup.com/p/Naked-Motorcycle-Jackets/Xelement-Naked-American-Leather-Cruiser-Motorcycle-Jacket/93296.html. Very heavyweight leather, good quality hardware. I've got 15,000+ miles on it and am still a happy customer.
