Hi all, I'm on the hunt for a good quality jacket to go with my Draggin jeans. Happy to pay good money for a good quality product.
What are your suggestions?
I'm not too sure of my size, however my suit is size 48. I'm 6ft 3in and at last check, 93 kegs.
Cheers....

If you are wearing it with jeans, make sure it's a longer one.
The leather jackets that zip to leather pants are generally too short.

I've just got an alpinestars indy jacket, which is perforated, for summer. It has a longer back so it works with jeans. An older style but still some around.
For the rest of the year I have a Tiger Angel Raven jacket (and their Element jacket for the wet). Lovely soft leather.

Good point Wattie, cheers.
I want something that will last a while, fits well and above all gives me good protection.
Thinking of something like Alpinestars, Dainese etc....
Happy to spend around $500.

quality just the same.
The Collins jacket I bought from Glen is another good option Stu....

I went looking at jackets and found they were all too short.
Looking for a size 58 or 60 and haven't seen a Collins retailer as yet.....

I've got an XL Alpinestars Helius black leather jacket if your interested. I'm just over 6'1" and about 90kgs and it was just a little too big for me so might be what ur looking for. It's only on the market today as my new jacket arrived in the mail
(It's a EUR54 and fits me perfectly)
Let me know if ur interested.
