Best leather jacket brands?

[Johnny Lane]

Hello Fedoras. I am looking for a new leather jacket but need informed opinions. I`m looking for a bomber-style or harrington-style jacket that is very simple and has no detailing on it - like one of those classic styles that have no lines, no zipper pockets, no extra pockets, no buckles on the side hips, no elastic waistbands, no epaulets, etc. Just a smooth-looking leather jacket. (I don`t plan to spend 2 grand on a jacket but other than that budget not really an issue here.)

It seems that a lot of companies make leather jackets but it`s hard to tell of the quality, especially when shopping online. So far people have told me about Aero and Schott NYC and while those companies do make good-looking jackets, they don`t quite seem to have what I`m looking for.

So...which do you think are the best leather jacket brands? (In terms of leather quality, craftsmanship, etc.)
