Aero Leather Clothing, Ltd.
Leather riding gear isn't favored by everyone but if you're keen on it, I'd recommend you give these folks a look. They are located in Galashiels, Scotland and have a small shop with very few employees. All of their jackets are completely hand-made and one tailor does the work from start to finish. (I would guess they have about 6 or 8 tailors.)
Their jackets are custom made to order and the wait time is about 3 months. Much of their work is heavy front quarter horsehide, which has become very rare in the last 30 years, or so. I had my measurements taken at the shop in Scotland but you can provide measurements and they guarantee the fit 100% and will make the jacket any way you want (color, pockets, lining, zippers, snaps, etc.)
I just received my second horsehide jacket from them. The fit is extraordinary and the workmanship is simply superb. Their prices are not for the faint hearted but it's really a treat to own something so nice. They have a website and also have a U.S. representative who advertises on Ebay. I dealt directly with the folks at the factory and feel like they've become friends after quite a few "back and forths" regarding the details. If anyone has any questions I can help with, please send me a PM; I'd be most happy to tell you more.
