Ya 600$ is outrageous for a jacket. I know the saying you get what you pay for, but there's plenty of companies who make quality leather jackets for well under 300$ that I've seen people post good reviews in here.
I do love that vintage style RSD tracker jacket (352$ on motorcycle USA) but its not even leather for that price. Bad *** style. Wish it was cheaper (or find a jacket similar but way cheaper) And then where are you going to find them in person to try on? I haven't seen shops carry them. Too much of a hassle if it doesn't fit good

had a nice deal on closeouts at the local dealer the other day.. got a $550 leather jacket for something like 375. not the cheapest around but its a good jacket, good looking and something i havent seen alot of - kindof a cafe/vintage looking jacket with block lettering on the back.
and the best part is it doesnt have bright orange all over! haha

I bit the bullet and bought a Roland Sands Ronin jacket and holy **** is it awesome. I love it, the cut and comfort are better than any other jacket I've ever worn but admittedly I haven't worn a LOT of jackets, maybe 4-5 over the years. Even with back, shoulder, and elbow armor in place it's totally comfortable. Every time I wear it people (who know nothing about riding, etc) comment on what a cool jacket it is. The price is a little hard to swallow, but if you can swing it it really is worth it in my opinion.

FYI, there is no CE rated armour in the jacket........however the leather is phenomenal.

For any canadians and possibly americans who want a quality custom made jacket. I just picked one up from Rubber Side Down in vancouver bc. They carry a line of nice jackets and will custom make it to fit you for $100 more.
sadly their website and pictures suck.. but i picked up this one.. Way nicer in person and awesome quality. It doesnt say it, but it comes witha zip in liner as well. http://www.rubbersidedown.ca/heritage_jacket

Personally I would rather spend a few extra dollars to protect my skin if needed. My fav is foxcreekleather.com I've had a jacket from them for over 5 years and wouldn't trade it for anything. Top quality and US made
