Few suggestions

Consider riding position.. you don't want some rocket jacket to rider your cruiser... it will suck.

Check out powertrip, fox creek leather, vanson, or even the HD store.

Even better. Get a Brooks jacket (25 yr warrenty). Buy it at the shop down here, lifetime warrenty!

Speaking of which. Its called A&M Leather on Eureka Rd. Just outside the airport. Little shop. Ran by old school bikers. Sell and service many leathers.

A good American leather jacket will always be WAY WAY nicer than that china and packistan leather. HUGE BETTER! But it will cost ya $400. I could show you the difference. I have a Brooks leather jacket. I have a cheap crap vest, that I want to replace with a Brooks leather vest. Just haven't spent the $140+ to get it.
Why you ask. Because I like the look of the rocket style jackets plus they have CE armor in them where cruiser jackets don't do they? You can get some A* jackets that don't have a huge curve in the arms. I'll look into the ones you suggested though. But I want something with CE armor in the elbows, shoulders, and back.
