What sort are you after, Jon? I mean what style.....it's a very personal thing.
You wouldn't find me in anything else but a Belstaff......I wear my Roadmaster near enough all the time - I've even got it on now as I write this.
I would sleep in it if the missus didn't moan!!!

Your best bet is to go on ebay and put a search in for motorcycle jackets then go through the list and see what you like .They've got them all on there just remember more expensive does'nt allways mean better

I have a red Belstaff too, I think it's a model XL500 or something similar.....sourced from the States a few years ago as a NOS item - been in an American storage unit for 35 years and was mint with tags......but just like my Belstaff Roadmaster (which is a remake bought in Italy in 2012), no armour.

I had a red Bellstaff bought 1990 with matching padded trousers (nylon) gave them away 1997.Recall buying the trousers in 1977 and used them extensively to -10 degrees C doing Dragon rally and trip to Belgium.Slept in tent must have been mad lol
