Maybe I mistranslated from Celsius. I tend to think of a leather jacket as warm enough in the 60s but not 60. 10-15 celsius seems like sweater+jacket weather, although it's possible with heavier leathers and maybe flannels over thinner cottons one jacket is enough? I should mention that it rains a lot where I am.
I guess my struggle is that I tend to prefer trimmer, minimalist fits. I don't like how paunchy I look in most bombers when they're done up. Maybe they would work ok if I went MTM? But everything I've tried off the rack I've had to size up in the chest which gives me a lot of extra material at the waist which kind of folds or billows forward at the stomach.
Yea, bombers can be a bit paunchy. Personally think most coats/ jackets look better when they're unzipped, which helps reduce this effect, but sometimes you have to zip up your coat when it's cold.
From the Canali you posted, I assume you like a more classic looking jacket. If you want something trim looking, you can try a cafe racer. If you want something with that Canali vibe, just try something in lambskin. Falcon Garments is a slightly more fashion-forward look, but they do MTM/ MTO and offer lambskin jackets. Otherwise, you can always keep an eye out for cafe racers at your favorite retailer. Sites like Mr. Porter usually have them. It somewhat depends season-to-season cause lambskin jackets are more of a designer piece, so it's not a stock item like you what you may find at Aero.
