Rob f, that is a real cool jacket BUT way expensive for my poor pocket!  :)

That Rocketteer jacket looks interesting but not armored.
If I could find this one in armor I might pay the $900.............http://www.misterfreedom.com/mulholland-master-brown.html

I said "might"

I'd go with the classic black (Schott Perfecto) motorcycle leather jacket. That's what I wear. If it was good enough for Marlon Brando, it's good enough for me!  8)

Well my 06 Drifter is silver and black, so I wear my black leathers--jacket and chaps--and I like to wear my matte black helmet. My boots and gloves are also black. I'm kind of a night rider biker dude.

What about this?

It should be nice together with some vintage gloves and glasses.

Opening a new can of worms here as I haven't seen this topic yet.
What does one wear while Drifting?
As the bikes are a Retro knock off it seems appropriate that the rider appear the same. I have been scouring online for retro jackets, helmets, etc and have found quite a few  but many are not DOT approved and not armored. I have seen riders ranging in tees, shorts and flip flops to kevlar armored one piecer's.
After my intro to human vs pavement a few years back after a deer collision i switched out my leathers and bucket helmet for SAS armor and a full face.
Somehow this does not look right while Drifting.
I just scored a Bitwell 3/4 DOT helmet same color as the bike and some Roland Sands armored gloves. Now the jacket. I like the looks of the ww2 retro stuff but can't find any good armored ones.
What are you guys sporting these days?
