Like Tri said jeans and a hoodie , followed by a good leather jacket that zips up and has a flap that covers the zipper and snaps, it also needs to seal around the wrists good.
I found some good light weight Sheep skin gloves that have thinsulate and a small gauntlet that goes over my jacket sleeves nicely to block wind.
I also have a neoprene chin and neck protector that comes in handy, hopefully I won't need it very often, not planning any real cold weather riding unless the flag makes it up here this Winter :pinch:

When I make it back out to California that'll be my winter gear, too! But until then, I'm stuck in Western NY and its obnoxious weather.
That Aerostitch stuff looks nice and warm but it's a little out of my price range. Does anyone else wear Carhartts? I've been looking at those lately.

I found my leather at a second hand store for 9 bucks already broke in
Goodwill's and Salvation army's are a good place to look along with your local thrift and pawn shops.
