Where to buy a jacket for my girl?

[kdlutes]

I'm planning a first-ever road trip on my Bonneville with my new girl and I want to get a leather jacket for her. I've seen lots of thread on men's jacket, but what is your advice on ladies jackets?

I'd like a simple, cafe style black leather jacket for her. I don't want to spend too much as she doesn't ride with me often. Oh, and she's petite and will probably need a small or extra small, which seem harder to find.

I've browsed leatherup.com, motorcycle-superstore.com, and jafrum.com.

Any other suggestions?

Take her to a store and have her try them on. Many are not going to fit properly. Internet purchasing will be a shot in the dark.

I got a jacket for my partner at the local BMW dealer, which is very well stocked with gear and has helpful and considerate sales personnel.

is there an Eagle Leather nearby? or ,if you have time before the trip,J&P Cycles or DennisKirk ,so you can try it on and exchange it if needed..

Triumph usually got a couple cool ladies jackets, like this one:

x2 on going to a dealer and have her try out to get one that fits propely.

Thanks for the suggestions. There aren't any local stores so online ordering is what I'll have to do. More surfing and I've found these two I quite like:

Hmm, there is a rule that says if a guy gives a girl a motorcycle jacket, she has to pose for pics wearing the jacket on his bike, right? <g>

River Road makes good quality jackets. Nice cut and good protection. I've got two.

Well that's close. If she has her own bike, then she has to pose on that one.

It's also perfectly acceptable for her to practice posing before she gets the jacket.
