I am in the market for a new, or used leather jacket. Checked out Sporty's and LL Bean but they are foreign made. Also been looking on ebay. I have had 2 in my life and they were both foreign made. The first one was made in Indonesia, probably water buffalo hide as it might as well been 6061. Ripped it on a sharp piece of steel or I probably would still have it. The second one was Pakastani goat hide. The inside fell apart after about 15 years, can't complain, it is great for crawling under a car in the gravel.

So I want one made in the US, where do I go? Good used would be OK. What kind of leather do you prefer. Winter is coming but a sweater under is usually enough here. Now that I am a Starduster driver I deserve the best but will probably settle for Cessna grade. I kinda lean toward black.
