The next best thing to a leather jacket, is a denim jacket for riding
in warmer weather. It affords good abrasion resistance and is light
enough to allow you to cool off.
Get a good quality one and it will serve a long time.
Also, a surplus army field jacket is very good. They have a removable
liner for extra warmth if needed.
I have been using all three (leather, denim, field jacket) along with
a nylon wind breaker in various combinations depending upon the weather.
I took a spill once while wearing the field jacket and it wasn't even
fazed by the experience - nor was the bike :-).
