Try to buy in person or at least try it on before you buy, make sure you try it on while wearing a helmet and gloves. Look for CE armour including spine protection.

Buy cheap, you get cheap. It's YOUR skin. http://www.vansonleathers.com/ Anything that fits you right while standing up will not be a good fit while riding. Make sure it fits while sitting in your natural riding position. Vanson Leathers made me a custom jacket in 1987 and it’s still going strong. Buy cheap, you get cheap. It’s YOUR skin.

Different people like different brands and swear by them. I suggest going to a store or motorcycle dealer and trying on the jackets. I bought mine from Leather up.com but there are many vendors on the web. Not sure if you can order or do order from Amazon.com but they have the widest variety of vendors out there (IMHO). Always buy a size larger than you would normally wear because you need to wear it over other clothes and even another jacket sometimes. If vanity is your concern, then go to a clothing store and have one tailor fit to you. Protection is protection. Never buy split leather thinking it will stay on you in a crash. Buy the thickest leather you can because the thicker it is, the longer it takes for the road to eat through it. Also remember that the leather will mostly stop road rash, but you may still get burns from sliding on the road from the heat generated from friction. Also consider leather pants or chaps. I strongly suggest armor in the shoulders, elbows and knees. I have been down and know the places that hit the road first and suffer the most damage.

Top grain cowhide is second with top grain buffalo being a close third. Naked leather (top grain with the epidermis still intact) is the softest heavy leather you will find. Split leather (which includes suede) is softer but has much less abrasion resistance. Lambskin is soft and will rip much easier. Double stitching is important for durability. http://motorcycle-leathers.net Top grain kangaroo has the most abrasion resistance, but is usually cost prohibitive for most riders.

For motorcycle leathers, you're looking for abrasion resistance. Cowhide is one of the best. I hear buffalo is very good, too. Pigskin is good for heat resistance and water as it doesn't shrink much. It's a ways below cowhide in abrasion resistance, but can take some. Cowhide, primarily.
