Hello All, this is a cross post to the general fourm since i did not get much of a reply ther . I am seeking a simply motorcycle type jacket similar to the one in the directly pic here:
[/IMG] What i like about it is this (1) its simple; (2) its tailored fitting; (3) it does NOT have ragalan shoulders; (4) it has narrow sleeves w/o zippers and (5) it leans away from the traditional protetive moto jacket towards a bit more casual. I have been unable to find a similar jacket, so any suggestions for sources or custom would be appreciated. Note: this is not a referredum on whether you like these type of jackets. the goal here is to find that jacket that DOES NOT LOOK LIKE: -raiders of the lost ark -the fonz -tom cruise circa mi3 -40 something undergoing a mid life crisis My research here and on other boards seems to indicate that the best quality traditional moto jackets are probably made by UK's areoleather and NYC lost worlds. I have looked at these and while they do not have anything like the one above they do have something similar. They are awesome and the price does not scare me but they do seem to be a bit of heavy "overkill" for my causual needs. For example the LW:

[/IMG] Similarly, there are Schott cafe with collar and the vansons. I think they may be too heavy as well. The Schott:
