Hi all. This is my first time posting here, let me know if I break any rules.

I am looking to get my first leather jacket... I am after a black biker (asymmetrical zip) style. But not looking for anything too busy with heaps of buckles, studs, etc.
I am only looking to spend around $250US to give me an idea of whether or not I like the idea of wearing one. I live in NZ btw. I'm not opposed to buying second hand either. I am 5'11"- 6' tall and have a 34" chest, 28" waist.

Are any of the following okay, both in terms of quality (probably not) and style:
http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Leath...-1&sort=3&clr=Brown&totalstyles=73&gridsize=3
http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Leath...-1&sort=3&clr=Black&totalstyles=73&gridsize=3
http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Leath...-1&sort=3&clr=Black&totalstyles=73&gridsize=3

I will probably need to get the xxs (32-34) in these sizes as I want a tight fitting jacket.




Any recommendations on other jackets that meet these specifications and price areas would also be greatly appreciated.
