Trying to remember the name of the leather place I visited in Los Angeles last year... Here it is: http://savmorleather.com/ 1626 Wall St, Los Angeles, CA (213) 749-3468 - if memory serves, they have some. (Or I could be confusing them with another place - it was a busy travel year.) Give them a call - they're the kind of tightly-packed, chaotic, individual-relationship-driven business where it's best just to get on the phone with someone and ask, rather than looking at their web page, where it seems they mostly just feature tools.

The Fizik Antares or Arione depending on width preferences. Personally I prefer the Versus model but that depends if your a person who prefers a cut out or not. Also the Silverado from WTB surprised me with how comfortable it felt. It's a less flat Antares though I didn't have a chance to spend a lot of time on that one

I'm just going to leave this here. "For male riders, in addition to the discomfort and numbness associated with a traditional saddle, there is an increased susceptibility to restricted blood flow, which can lead to arterial occlusion and permanent erectile dysfunction." www.facebook.com/ISMseat

I uses to do Specialized joints, but now the Fizik Antares VS is my jam.
Any recommendations for where I can buy a good-quality faux leather jacket?

For male or female sizing/styles?
I know that Forever 21 in the USA has faux leather for men and women. The male styles are pretty much the classics. The women's styles are more variable http://www.forever21.com/Search/SearchResult.aspx#brm-search?request_type=search&search_type=keyword&q=faux%20leather&l=faux%20leather
Those are all faux leather products and you can sort men/women on the left hand column. I don't know the quality of their faux leather, but some other products from them have been pretty good quality, lasting better than I would expect for their prices.
Polyvore also makes it easy to browse many different types of brands: http://www.polyvore.com/faux_leather_jacket/shop?query=faux+leather+jacket

I would recommend a Straight To Hell. They just came out with a jacket textured to resemble actual leather. It will be way higher quality than something from Forever 21, to be honest! Here's the [Defector](https://straighttohellapparel.com/product/ladys-vegan-defector-ii-black-artificial-leather-jacket-nickel-hardware/) and the [Commando](https://straighttohellapparel.com/product/ladys-vegan-commando-ii-black-artificial-leather-jacket-nickel-hardware/).
