Default Jacket for wife

The wife plans to start riding on the back with me next season and I need a good jacket for her. She will be a fair weather rider 70-90 degrees I would like to put her in nice leather jacket. Does anybody make a leather alter ego type jacket for women

Do you want leather, or do you want "an alter ego type jacket", which is textile?

i don't advise buying a jacket online my wife is rather endowed in the chest and trying jackets on in a store hasn't gone over so well she ranges anywhere from a large to a 4xl depending on style or type, i couldn't imagine trying to buy her a jacket online unless they specifically list the chest size waste size arm length etc... it'd be a return nightmare. so we are just hitting all the bike shops we can until she find something she like and that fits.

Well since I didn't want her to have a closet full of jackets, We got her a tourmaster flex. (ver#1). Now I need to get her the paints to match.
