I also think it is ridiculous to spend that kind of money on a jacket at the regional airlines. Get the suit jacket or the overcoat.
I opted for the blazer since I was planning on being stuck in ORD all winter and I could wear the overcoat with it. Now that I'm PHX based next month I'm thinking of getting a leather jacket just for the practical use of it on overnights and the low maintenance aspect.
Nothing wrong with pilots wearing a leather jacket if they so choose to. It is perfectly acceptable.
