anyone have any suggestions on a summer jacket (leather light armor cafe style)??

I've had the perforated Triumph retro jacket (checkerboard across the chest, logo on back) for about six years now and its held up great. The squares on the checkerboard are sewn on and I haven't had a stitch come loose yet. I like it and highly recommend it.

Bates Leathers makes a really cool synthetic jacket.

I'm a huge Schott fan. This looks interesting:
Schott Mesh and it's a good price.

They have the best customer service.

Its not that sexy but for 55 bucks it could work. I have heard good things about the Rio.

Well if you're only concerned about price then a used Member's Only will only run you $10. Talk about retro. :-D

I picked this up at the end of season last year. It has 3 (removable) layers so you can pretty much use it 9 months out of the year (9 months in NY that is).

Its runs about $170 so the price is pretty good. Im not too big on logos either. Full padding in the elbows and back.
