All season leather jacket. Recomendations?
After 8 years of service, my AlpineStars jacket has reached its limit of
bugs dirt rain neglect 100+ degree temperature 30 temps garage floor layers of clothing stuffed under neath etc etc Whats the short list of leather jackets? No preforated leather. nice heavy grain With ventilation (zippers) and removable liner and all the little spots to slip in additional protection and isn't some overly styled "Whats up brah" doosh-mo-jacket? Local shops don't have much of a selection (tons of textile, tonnes of summer\track preforated jackets) and browsing online has revealed a much bigger market than I could remember from last time I went shopping for a new jacket. thanks in advance...

Rev'It and RS Taichi are "the shiznit" when it comes to quality, if you're willing to pay for it.

Why not go with Alpinestar again?

Seriously, you will never find a jacket that's going to cover all of the conditions listed well. If you have $500 to spend, get two jackets and be happy.

I ditched all my Astar gear when I outgrew it in favor of Fieldsheer. I have a full suit and a longer riding jacket that has been awesome. The sizing is accurate and they all broke in very nicely. I forget the jacket model but the suit is a Revo. A little less money than the Astars and the stitching is better IMO...
