I hear you, ton - and you are reflecting my own thoughts, to be honest. For some years I've considered the Brooks to be my favorite leather jacket pattern of all time and for weather conditions here, it is light and easy wearing. So part of me wants an over engineered, brand new version like some of the Buco repos that are made today.
Incidentally Brooks (under a reboot with new owners) make one for around $400 (US) in premium cowhide. US made, they say. Its called the 511C.
