Retro Leather Jackets

Does anyone know of a good place to find retro-style leather jackets. I kinda like the Triumph ones (see banner to the left of this) or like the one Peter Fonda wore in "Easy Rider". I have a Corazo bomber style jacket that I wear on my Vespa that has full on armor in the elbows, shoulders and back but I know it would just shred apart if I were to lay it down. Where else can I look for these or what are others wearing keeping in theme with the Triumph classic style? Thanks!

This is a picture of mine, It did not come with armor, but I have a Cortech DSX that has armor. So this winter I am going to have a friend that works with leather make some pockets so I can switch the armor between the two.



I would like to find some leather over pants with armor.

E-bay has a lot of "leather" motorcycle jackets for sale at $54.95.

Am I correct in assuming that these are junk?
