Check www.soulrevolver.com for inspiration, they have some nice looking jackets in the Vintage section.
That super new and clean YMCA biker look is awful.

yes. what's the difference, looks-wise, between the op jacket and 90% of what that site sells? I don't see it. One sells a lot of artificially antiqued leather, the other does not. The op's jacket is a traditional perfecto with a throat latch, and that site sells movie repros and such. and something called 'the hitman'

If you think that $5k jacket is pretty damn worth it, then buy it. It's your money. Why do you have to ask here? You honestly thought that most people would agree with that choice?
$190

well clothing is more than just the look of something, the feel matters. whether or not that is worth the difference is up to the person buying, but there is a pretty obvious difference when you have it in your hands and on your body.If you think that $5k jacket is pretty damn worth it, then buy it.

Thanks, I knew Hedi moved there but noot the rest.
now, if you want something really avant garde...
How about a ring "made from the abdomen skin of Sruli Recht, mounted to a 24 carat gold band." It's only 350 000...

Or how about a seal vest for 9300

Urgh, there are even poems for each of his "pieces". How very pretentious.
Edit: maybe it's just the hideous, tasteless seal vest that has the poem.

Why wouldn't you just go to an actual motorcycle shop and buy an actual motorcycle jacket for $350 but get it one size too small or just get it tailored/fitted by a leather guy? You'll get the same "fonzie starter-kit" effect, and you'll save thousands of dollars.
And no, a motorcycle jacket isn't supposed to be made out of the finest, softest, supple leather. It's supposed to be made out of tough leather.

Not even flattering.
I think he must be trolling to some extent. Like the reverse sharkskin gloves with hooks on the inside, that you can't take off without ripping up your hands.

To the OP. It depends entirely on how you look. If you look like a normal guy, that jacket won't look good at all on you. You basically have to be model material to pull something like that off well. Though I genuinely don't get why you wouldn't get a jacket that looks almost like it, but costs 20% of it. a 5000 dollar leather jacket is something that will only impress the people in the gaf fashion thread.
if you define yourself trough an investment in clothes than just do it and don't ask broke ass gaffers.
(5k is the rent of 2 years for me just to compare)
btw, no one here can tell how it will look on you and no one that will see you in this will know you paid that much money.
if you wanna do it, than just do.
these facts aside, i don't like this one, its just plain ugly :/
btw, why not buying a real bike with this money, that way you won't sit at home.
5K for a leather jacket is a steal. It's probably some inferior quality leather that will rip the second you put it on. I don't deal with these Sears-priced types of jackets anymore. I roll only with high-end 20K+ jackets. Now those ARE a sound investment, because not only will they pull any bird I look at and their mothers, after I donate them to charity once the season is over, I get a personal visit from Bono telling me how awesome I am, get a free U2 concert (OK, I'll be honest, it gets old after 5 times, but still, it's a nice gesture and it's thhe thought that counts, right?) and he even donates 30K to me, which goes directly into my new jacket and the extra money goes towards a well-deserved vacation in the Bahamas to relax from rocking so much awesomeness for one season and get ready for a new season of ripping and tearing.

Only if you have an actual motorcycle and even then I'm not sure that jacket would do a hell of a lot in a crash.

Are you going to fuck it?
I bought a custom-made U-Boat commander-style leather jacket a few years back, and at nearly $1000 it remains the most extravagant purchase I've ever made. It probably always will be.
If the OP likes that style of jacket, I'd say go for it. Maybe look for a less absurdly-priced variant first, though.

I know. I recently got a sweater that I thought was cool from the bins but it's itchy =(.

"Only $5,000".
"An investment piece".
I will literally never, ever understand. My leather jacket was $300 at Danier and it's the best fucking leather jacket ever, like it was tailor made and it will last forever.
OP is out to lunch with the rest of the fashion world. Apologies for the rant.

if you're going gator, you need to go gator. gator pants. gator boots. gator bags. a trench just aint gonna cut it.
I started off reading this thread with a rather judgemental mindset, but now I'm of the opinion that GAF isn't really the best place for a question like this. It's a matter of perspective.
What I mean is, say someone were to drop a few grand building a gaming PC (like the Large Pixel Collider rig). As long as the person isn't spending beyond their means, I would applaud and be envious of it, and I'm sure many PC-GAF would as well. Someone else who owns a netbook or tablet at most would look at that and think it's insane.
