I wear a textile Fieldsheer jacket and I want to change to a leather jacket. My choices are Alipinestar, Dainese, and Joe Rocket. Which one should I go with? I know astars are good because I have there gloves n boots. I heard from other people that Dainese make top quality stuff but its seems like not many stores/online stores carry them, I like the Kiroshima Jacket. I do not know much about Joe Rockets but I like the price on the speedmasters.
It's all about preference. They are all reputable, and make quality jackets. Best advice would be to try them on in person 'cause they're not all cut the same.
I assume you were looking for pro's and con's, to help narrow your search. You like the A* gloves/boots, go try on their jackets. I like 'em better than Rocket, because they are slimmer and have longer arms.(I'm 6'2" and about 170ish)
A-stars gets my vote...you already have the gloves and the boots thats a plus...I've always liked A-stars leather jackets (the style and the way they fit) As a matter of fact im also looking for a new jacket right now.

I love my Dianese. You can tell from pretty much every detail that they know what they're doing, but what sold me was the way it fit my body type. Snug everywhere, like a second skin, without feeling constricted.
