Looking for suggestions for a lined version of a jacket like this:

I'd prefer not to go custom (in fact schott doesn't have this leather in stock anyway), but looking for a brown cafe racer of medium weight leather with a lining. Doesn't have to be vintaged. Most of the cafe racers I see are black. Thanks.

Schott makes a brown version in steerhide (their horsehide version is only available in black). It doesn't have the antiqued look that the jacket you show has, though.

It is quite a dark brown but I have been considering buying one of these:

If you don't actually want to ride a motorcycle in it, you can size down and take out the removable armor...reviews of it are pretty good.

Thanks again for the suggestion. I like the style but looking for something a bit more classic. (and I don't ride motorcycles, as much as I'd like to)

This is J Crew. It's called the Stockton Racer. It's about $800 or $900 bucks, but I'd bet they'll run a 25% off sometime before Christmas:

Thanks with the jcrew suggestion, I'll check that out. Only odd thing is that it fades to grey instead of other colors of brown. Any other companies I should be looking at?

I know you prefer not to go custom, but if you change your mind, TOJ has some great looking moto and collared moto jackets available in calf/lamb with sateen lining.
