RE: Good warm winter leather jacket?
I picked up one of these a couple of years ago:

Great jacket, and extremely warm even without the liner zipped in.

These are priced right, and the quality is good. Not premium, but good. It's what I wear.

I wear a thick fleece sweatshirt type top that I bought from a hiking shop underneath my leather, and some sweat pants under my jeans. I find the hardest part of my body to keeep warm is the hands.

I have the FXRG H-D jacket and with the liner that comes with it and a balaclava(sp?) I'm good to ride at 15-20degreesbut I can't seem to keep my hands from freezing at those temperatures. Guess I need to get some heated gloves...

The key is layers.
The leather jacket is the impermeable outler layer, obviously.
All you need then are some fleece or wool vests or base layers. They don't need to cost a fortune. Much more effective then the snowmobile suit approach.

Another vote for the FXRG. I own one and love it. Bought my dad one, and he loves it too.

RE: Good warm winter leather jacket?
I visitedcouple stores and HD dealership this evening to take a look on FXRG and JoeRocket leather jackets.
FXRG - they did not have a tall one, and standard one was too short - harly covering lower part of my belly.
JoeRocket - gay at the store said "do not go with leather, textile one would be as worm and even warmer" - he adviced "ballistic" model with liner and all bells and whistles inside. That one - http://joerocket.com/productJR.cfm?products_id=2568
What do you think? I never look into the idea to get something not from leather.
