If you're budgeting for just one big purchase this season, make it count by picking up an everyday staple that'll outlast everything else in your wardrobe—a new leather jacket! Classic or cutting-edge, hooded or cropped, or both! There's so much variety this fall that you need to take a good look at all the options before making a decision.

The brands known for leather like S.W.O.R.D., Mike and Chris, and the reasonably priced Doma, have all stepped it up.

Among all the brands specializing in leather, Doma's pricing is the best. Add Doma to your list if you're into leather but not into spending more than you have to.

Brands not known as leather specialists are looking good doing it too, like Vince, Mischen, Soia and Kyo, Young Fabulous and Broke, and See by Chloe. I know we can't stop talking about the Haute Hippie moto in Luggage, but come on, if the last thing you need is another black jacket, that tan is too rich and amazingly versatile to pass up!
