    Recommendations for a leather jacket?

    Hi guys, I am on the lookout for a leather jacket while riding I have a touring bike but looking at a cruiser in the next few months. A couple I am looking at is:
    RST interstate II
    Rjays Warrior II Men's Leather and Cordura Jacket
    1tonne Waterproof Ballistics Leather Motorcycle Jacket
    NEO Rider Jacket

    does anyone have these jackets that they comment on??
    my Budget is $450

    Cheers

    If you are getting a Cruiser, the best jacket will have the most tassels.

    Any of them will suit your needs - as above go for the best fit/features that suit you.

    PS - don;t you just need a T-shirt for a cruiser .......

    1 Tonne wont have your size in stock, even though the website said that it is, you will then have to get your money back or wait 3 months

    You can't beat a good leather jacket....
    Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....

    I have a ballistics jacket.
    It is surprisingly waterproof bit not raincoat waterproof and the leather does get waterlogged. Still better than a wet riderin a light rain or short trip.
    Haven't crash tested it but it sees well made.

    This would be my approach as well, nothing to do with brands etc.
