Highest Quality Suede/Rough Out Leather Trucker Jackets?
With fall finally upon us, I'm looking to bring some class to my look with a classic, brown suede, rough out, waxed flesh, etc. leather jacket. My biggest concern is quality. With most of these jackets being in the $1k range, I'd like it to be BIFL quality. I'm looking for something relatively slim. My wide shoulders often force me into large shirts and jackets when a medium would otherwise fit perfect in my other proportions. I live in Seattle, so the jacket will likely undergo relatively frequent exposure to light rain. I'd also prefer a rich, warm brown suede with button fasteners rather than a zipper. For all of these reasons, I leaned towards the Satchel & Page Montgomery jacket as it has a classic look, is slim fitting, and is waxed flesh (better in rain than traditional suede afaik) until I read some disparaging reviews on reddit regarding the quality of their bags.
Below I've listed some of the jackets I've found, but I'm open to any others I may not have seen yet. What do you think is the highest quality suede trucker jacket on the market? Which is the best value (quality/price)? Budget: ideally <$1k

If the Tom Ford wasn't $7k, I'd snatch it up in a heartbeat.
Thanks!
