I'm a little surprised no one has mentioned the new Gustin jacket. I just got an email the other day about their new L2,That might be a tough nut to crack. I am assisting a friend of mine at the moment who is trying to purchase his first really nice leather jacket and he has also set a limit of $500. That pretty much rules out new jackets and most of the used jackets I'm finding are running closer to $600-700.
I would suggest that you search for Schott on eBay and see what is available in your size. They make almost every style of jacket imaginable, and with a little bit of luck you might find one in your size that meets your budget.
How do you like the Pegasus? We don't see nearly enough of their jackets here. More pics?Pegasus D Pocket

Good point, some of their offerings are definitely within the $500 price range. The L2 was introduced last year and I believe this is the second release of this style. Looks like a pretty basic crosszip to me, I like the fact that they kept the back length short in keeping with the style.I'm a little surprised no one has mentioned the new Gustin jacket.

Quick question for all— are my photos coming out sideways? They look right on my phone but sideways on my computer. How the heck do I fix it? Or at least post them correctly in the future. Thanks.
I'm always lazy to take pictures but here's a crappy one from my Aero 50s Half Belt amde by Ken in Horween medium weight horsehide that has been worn during the last 1 year and 6 months. Almost daily during Autumn/Winter.
I lost 7Kg since I got it so the waist is very loose now but when open it's barely noticeable. Still I would love it to be more snug but not sure what can be done.
Really beautiful. And thanks.I really like it. Extremely well made jacket. A bit of a different take on the D Pocket. The higher placement is handy sometimes. I like the scalloped coin pocket. There is leather sewn into the interior of the armpit area to help prevent wear, which i think is a nice touch. It also is vented there. The back pleats help with movement a bit. The leather is soft and feels great when you put it on. Almost like not having a leather jacket on. Breaking in was cake compared to comp. weight leather. In places where it gets scuffed up a bit you see a bit lighter brown undertone. I bet that over the course of years it will look really nice, at least I hope so. No collar snaps so need to zip up all the way when riding but I rarely ride in it. It does have a throat latch but I never use it. I travel with this jacket sometimes (it is soft so easy to pack if I am not wearing it) or use it to go out to dinner or something. I would recommend checking them out. I only wish the side belts were a bit thicker.

I'm sure Aero could do something? It's great but it is a bit on the baggy side right now.
@willyto do the side adjusters help at all?
I’m not sure what you mean by too big, IMO is a perfect fit as it is. Looks great on you.

Nice jacket and a great look (I wore almost the same thing last week). The wrist straps really add something great to the whole look. BTW, I don't think it looks too big at all - just comfortable.I'm always lazy to take pictures but here's a crappy one from my Aero 50s Half Belt amde by Ken in Horween medium weight horsehide that has been worn during the last 1 year and 6 months.
