Title says it all. My current leather has a lining which is tearing out and the zipper is ripping off for the second time. Buying from Leather Limited was not a good idea if I wanted a long-lasting leather jacket I guess.
Where can I get a sturdy, very warm leather or wool 3/4 length jacket? Is it possible for 300 or less?

I see that awesome duster, but it’s $500. I freekin’ love that store, but their prices kill me.
I recommend Sierra Trading Post at http://www.sierratradingpost.com/Mens-Clothing.html
My husband, son and I buy a lot from them. We’ve been happy with every item we’ve purchased. They deal in overstocks from upscale manfacturers. Their quality is super and their prices are low. The site had a lot of men’s coatss
Yuo should be able to have the coat relined and the zipper replaced for well under $300 - probably closer to $100-150.

Thats the part that sucks, having millionaire taste on a modest budget. Once or twice a year I treat myself to something nice from them. Their button down shirts and jackets are extremely durable, and well made. I have a belt I wear daily I bought from them in 2000…I dunno if you know anything about belts worn by men, but thats damn good compared to a TJ MAX or Kohls belt which wears out after a year at best.

There’s no beating their quality or style, and I believe their stuff is worth every penny. I just don’t have enough pennies!!! Damn me and my lack of pennies!

The problem is that while the coat felt heavy, it was never really that warm. It also has one of those zip-out thinksulate lining which has always been a pain as well. I’d much rather get a nice coat and retire this one.
Sportsman’s Guide. My husband just bought me this coat and it is warm, warm, warm. We buy a lot of things from them and haven’t been disappointed yet.
So, I bought this jacket and had it shipped:

For 50 bucks, it seemed like a steal. Well, the quality is sub-par (the leather is nice enough, but the lining is not thick, the pockets sit too low, and the zipper is very stubborn). So I am returning it, and I will continue to look around.
Any more advice would be welcome. Especially recommendations for specific coats.
Cabela’s The first one there is lined with Thinsulate which should help a lot for warmth.
Look here, I love my leather jacket and it has a liner in it too. Still in great condition.
I think the original jacket I have is from WIlson’s leather. I’m disinclined from going there, simply because most of their stuff seemed to have a cheap feel to it, and wasn’t as warm as its weight would seem to indicate.
