I didn't catch this thread earlier on but all perfectly valid critiques, same ones I would've - And have - raised. You are lucky to have chosen the J-106 to begin with, though, as it happens to be the most usable jacket from Aero's entire Motorcycle line.
In any case, Aero will taper the sleeve openings upon request so that's something to mind whist ordering a riding jacket.
Other than that, yeah, cotton drill is very breathable which renders it fairly useless as an insulation material and you wouldn't have found any of the tartans any better. Quality quilted lining is vastly preferable for long trips, even if it means taking the jacket off for a part of the day.
I'd rather my leather jacket does one thing right!
Finally, larger main zipper is also essential on a motorcycle jacket but we've discussed this so many times already bringing it up again seems pointless. . .
