For actual riding or fashion?

Fashion (I’m not shilling as it’s just what I’ve bought from advice here):
StraightToHell makes them in a variety of colors and styles but they aren’t for riding. I have the Commando variant in brown and had to size up to a 44 for my 37 inch chest (they are very, very close fit so you might have to send it back to get a size that allows comfortable movement). Fits quite well (I’m not fat or anything) and not like that meme Asian kid’s *wok star* photo.
Note that the “fashion” jackets lack the vent pockets with the zippers and aren’t nearly as thick to provide some degree of protection from the road so decide on that.

Riding (same as above concerning not shilling): FMC Leather Biker Jacket 60's New Yorker black in the small size and it’s heavy thick leather with the vented zipper pockets. Very good for fridgid weather and has the arm movement necessary for a bike.

Each jacket was around $300 and well worth it but I prefer the StH Commando for everyday wear. You can also get a used one on grailed’s site or somewhere else like that. Cheap new $30 jackets on fleabay/amazon are junk and the new $100 Pakistan jackets are only slightly better. Sounds like you may want to try the used route but be sure to avoid any jackets with strange wear like totally frayed cuffs (who dafuq does that and expects nearly new market value price?)
