Can you get a good summer leather jacket for under £100?

[EazyDuz]

Getting a bit bored of my textile jacket, want to try out a leather one, mainly for summer as ive heard they are cooler than textile jackets.
Do you have to spend loads on one or can you get one that does the job for under 100?

Awesome!! Do want - I'd look a bit of a pillock riding around on a Honda with a Triumph leather jacket on though, wouldn't I?

Are these cheap jackets double stitched with thick leather?

Can't go wrong with pure black...

£80 off, so only £20 over budget:

what is the main thing to look out for, just double or triple stitching and 1.4mm leather at least?

Quite like this one:

But its only 1.2mm thick, i have some kevlar jeans from australian bikers and they are good quality and still work fine one year on.
