LOOKING FOR SOME RIDING GEAR FOR EXTREME COLD WEATHER. I LIKE THIS JACKET, BUT THE BELT LOOKS LIKE IT COULD SCRATCH THE TANK.

Anybody ever wear something like this for riding?
The Cockpit RAF Sheepskin Jacket
This jacket follows the 1938 Irvin Airchute Co. pattern and was worn by the pilots of the RAF during the Battle of Britain. Constructed from hand-cut American sheepskin pelts and features zippered cuffs, leather welted seams, inside canvas pocket, adjustable leather collar strap, leather waist belt, and full front zipper over wind flap. Also includes side-entry handwarmer pockets (a modern convenience not found on the originals). A very warm and stylish jacket. Color: brown. Made in the USA.

Now that's funny

Buy a snowmobile jacket. I have a Reima made of Cordura. Wearing it 10 below for 12 hours, I was fine with just a turtleneck underneath.
Been wearing it on the bike and it's perfect.
Not as much crash protection as leather, but I love it for cold weather.
