My three contributions...two leather, one mesh (please forgive me) At least I'm excluding the Joe Rocket! (for sale btw...) Anyways, first off, the newest addition, the British Motorcycle Gear Montana. I had some qualms about dropping $400 on a jacket, but the quality speaks for itself. Thick, supple leather, Knox Armor, and a perfect Euro cut. Not to mention it looks damn good. Not quite black, but not quite brown. Really nice color in my opinion. Very impressed.
Second is a Vanson Logo Team I picked up last summer for $120 off their clearance rack. Nice jacket, but definitely not intended for riding. It rides up quite a bit the second you go for the controls. No armor either. I'm debating retrofitting D30 armor and having it tailored, because it really is a damn nice jacket. If you're ever in the Fall River area, definitely stop in at the Vanson factory.
Lastly is my summer jacket, a Dainese Air-Frame mesh. Nice jacket, perfect Euro cut, again, I'm a twig. Italian style, armor in the elbows and shoulders, and flows a ton of air. However, I'm beginning to have second thoughts on mesh in general and am probably going to be hunting for a perf leather to take over the summer duties. The Corazzo 5.0 Perforated caught my eye... however in the meantime, I'm pretty satisfied overall with the Dainese.
