Your best best is to try a nunch on and see what you like the fit and feel of.

You should pop down and see Steve and Annette at Discount Motorcycle - they have a great selection of leather and textile.

As far as Oregon climate goes, you either need two jackets, or a convertible.
I have a Tourmaster Flex that is a fully convertible mesh with armor, that has nylon panels, a waterproof liner and a winter liner for warmth.
In this weather (50-60 degrees) I still have both liners in when I ride.
I drop the liners around 75 degrees and switch to mesh around 85.

The only drawback of my convertible is that it fits great with the liners in, but is HUGE and baggy with the liners out.
