I'm just beginning to think about what leather jacket to get to wear when I'm driving top down in my car. The leather has to be light enough to be comfortable for driving and for SoCal weather, but durable enough to stand up to constant exposure to sun, wind, not really rain, etc.
The lightest current motorcycle jackets are too thick and usually padded or armored. Department store fashion jackets -- what I'm using now -- are swell, but they really take a beating in the sun. And the nice ones are too expensive.
Anyone have any thoughts? Say, for less than $500 USD?
Thanks.
P.S. I like a collar, but will consider collar-less (like a barber collar). And I love slash front pockets for my hands.
