Survived my first good scare...

[Phil B]

got road rash THROUGH my leather motorcycle jacket,...

Are you sure it was an actual "motorcycle jacket", not just a "leather jacket"?

what brand, so we can all avoid it?

It didn't tear through. It scraped me through the jacket, similar to what Mister said. The jacket held up pretty good but my arm didn't. When I removed my jacket I had a "burn" all down my left arm which was beginning to bleed. And yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a motorcycle jacket. River Road is the company, and the logo has a motorcycle on it.

well yeah they sure CLAIM to make motorcycle gear. but apparently they're not very good at it :-/
Is it that you had leather, but no internal armor in it? I might guess that having armored bits, guards better against internal rash.

That, and I guess they allowed the outside leather bits to be too grippy. particularly looking at the pictures. Note: "soft & flexible" = "grippy and bad", in my unlearned opinion.
