That is a cafe style motorcycle jacket and a search of cafe jackets on ebay will turn up plethura of the like. Vanson makes one of the best. Lost Worlds makes some real pricey horsehide and steerhide versions. For vintage ones, Brooks and Buco. Aero Leather Clothes makes some as well but again, one the pricey side. Do you want it for fashion or are you going to actually ride wearing it? Remember that they will come in various weights just like denim and new ones for riding can take many years to become comfortable and if they are fitted correctly for riding, may never be completely comfortable. A google search for cafe jackets will turn up hundreds ranging from 100.00 dollars to 1000.00. Good Luck, I love the style as well and have owned several when I used to ride. Trashed a few good ones too, (one of the reasons I don't ride anymore).

... It sucks that i'll be in Hawaii for the next 3 years because i'll never really have the use to wear a leather all the time ...

Yeah I can see how living in Hawaii for three years could be a real hardship :)

That jacket looks like kind of lad musician-ey to me, but if you're after trad biker jackets, best go with Lewis Leathers. www.lewisleathers.com/ expensive new, but pick them up cheap off of ebay.

If I had a motorcycle, I'd get this jacket.

That is a REALLY nice jacket..I got one from Aero a few years ago made of the same weight leather in horsehide and I swear it would of stopped a bullet. IT was really nice, but the most uncomfortable thing I ever put on. I am sure it would have softened up after a few years of constant wear but in the south (U.S.) you just ain't going to put that kind of time into a jacket. It was cold enough in Texas about 5 times that year and I just did not see ever being able to break it in. I sold it and actually got more than I paid for it on an ebay auction. They really hold their value.
