Perfecto style leather jacket on a budget?

[dazendays]

Hello! Im looking for a perfecto style leather jacket on a budget... im a size 32 chest and cant find any used ones online anywhere in my small size so im looking for a good perfecto style that i can buy for around $350~ any help is much appreciated!

32 will be a tough size to find, but ebay is full of Perfecto-style jackets.

Have you considered Wested? No doubt their jackets aren't built as tough as proper moto jackets, but they have the look for a VERY reasonable price. I've had one of their Raiders jackets for a dozen years and love it.

It's probably the most reproduced jacket design in the world so I'd be wary of a really cheap ones (albeit, I've see a few Pakistani Perfectos that were of fantastic quality). But yeah, stick with the reputable brands. Like Schott. Plenty of used ones online right for that kind of money, though yeah, I'm afraid a 34 is the smallest size they make - 34 is actually the smallest size any company that I know of will make. What about these?

Also, you may want to check out Japanese Yahoo Auctions. Tons smaller numbers there so I think you just may find what you're looking for, at around your budget (or less):

Just that I've no idea how to look for Perfectos in general, other than searching for brand names? Anyone?

I'd suggest a used Schott: in those small sizes, there are bargains to be had on ebay. I also wouldn't be leery of Pakistani-made jackets, thought those can be hit and miss so best handled. I bought a great cheapy years ago on ebay for about a hundred bucks... new. I think the seller was called sonething like "leather paradise".

If you are located in the U.S.A., be aware that many motorcycle supply stores, such as Cycle Gear, carry various Pakistani-made Perfecto styled jackets at very affordable prices. I know individuals who own them and they state the jackets are pretty durable.

Used. eBay and Etsy and Craigslist. Not to mention swap meets, etc...

I walked the Santa Monica Place mall today with my wife and daughter . . . . Perfecto style jackets are the predominate style this season . . . . almost every store we perused had its own variation.

Yeah, but from the looks of these, I doubt that the mall ones are intended to last much longer than one season. Did you notice how the mall Perfectos almost never have a bi-swing back? I wonder why... Anyway, I'm hoping the OP would prefer something a bit more durable.
