I have one, high quality leather jacket. it's a very simple, classic design in brown leather. don't wear it much tho. I can't really work out the point of leather it's not as warm as wool, so no point wearing it in the cold, but then, it's not good for the warmer months either. the only time it seems useful to me is for a brief period in autumn, when there is a chilly wind but it isn't cold enough to warrant wool.

I have a Kenneth Cole black leather one that is about 4-5 years old. It's a very simple design and is very soft and broken-in by now. It's not the warmest jacket though.

I got a nice leather jacket from Target believe it or not for around $90. It's labeled Merona and is seriously one of the softest, nicest jackets I've ever had... next to my $300 Wilson's leather jacket. Fits like a glove.

lol, um, I havent worn it for a few years. I think the last time I put it on, I weighed 160lbs. Take that frame and put it with a height of 5'11. Thats about what it would fit.
