I really enjoy the snappiness that a sharp, supple leather jacket lends to an otherwise ordinary pant/shirt base. But, with that being said, you have to get a quality hide that can withstand the sometimes harsh elements of your particular climate. I find that finer leathers, even though they my be more supple, have a density of skin that is a true wind blocker. Couple a fine leather with shearling or a Thinsulate (TM) cloth as liner and you won't be worried by the weather. Fashion meets function and you stay toasty and sharp in the same foggy breath.
Remember names like Schott, Belstaff, Gucci, Shipley & Halmos, John Varvatos, and Harley Davidson.
