Default Jacket recommendations

Anyone have good suggestions on a decent quality leather jacket for less than $150 or thereabouts? Like something in this sort of style
http://www.riverroadgear.com/rrweb2....C?opendocument

Seen some stuff from a brand called "diamond plate" online, good prices but not sure about quality.

Thanks for your help!

I'm thinking this is a hard deal to pass up. Comes down to $99 after the additional 50% off, doesn't seem bad for a $500 jacket! Only thing I don't like is that it's XL which I *think* will be a little large on me, but that will also allow for "layers" for those cold days. I've heard good stuff about Wilson on here. Thinking that one may be the way to go.
