The band-collared 60's style racing jackets are tops in my book. Even spiffier with a Norton or BSA logo on them.

I have three leather jackets
One that looks similar to This one, but mine has 2 white stripes down each sleeve, and doesn't have zippers on the cuffs. My favorite at the moment, and very comfortable.
The other two are like this biker jacket, but one is falling apart, the other is worn out as well.

I wear a brown leather jacket similar to an A2 or Indy's. Really comfortable, and looks pretty cool

I have a black one of these:
A completely authentic reproduction of Hartmann's jacket from Eastman Leather (who did the flight jackets for Pearl Harbour).
I have to say that i wouldn't normally spend (or have the money to spend) that much on an item of clothing but this was worth every penny - my pride & joy!
If my house was on fire, i'd get my daughter out first (of course) then go back for my Hartmann!

I'd love to own an Eastman jacket, particularly that one. I've had an A-2 jacket on my "wish list" for years.

I still have an A-2 on my "wish list" - they are simply beautiful. I especially love the 352nd FG A-2 
But i think i've made all the expensive one-off purchases i can make, for a long time!
