BWT, where are we finding quality, genuine leather black jackets?

BWT, I am looking for a quality genuine black leather jacket. I added three photos. (Yes, the second one is cognac, not black. But I love the style of it, so I added it in case someone knows of a good quality black one in this style! The first is my favorite so far in black. The third photo is okay but kind of meh.)

Here are my requirements/hopes:

Budget: $500 max (although I'm hoping since spring clothing is coming out, maybe I can find a quality jacket on a winter sale!

Color: Black

Fit: I'm a solid medium/8. I love a more fitted jacket. I'm in the southern USA, so it rarely gets cold enough that I would need to layer it over a bulky sweater. In fact, it would mainly be worn over lightweight items to transition from warmish daytime temps to chillier nighttime temps!

Cut/Style: True waist-length, no long, but also not super cropped. I love the look of bombers and moto jackets, as long as they aren't too much into the moto (I don't want 50 million silver zipped, grommets, etc.). I'm hoping for something that can be casual but would also work for "fun" business casual evening events. (Those events where a pair of dressy, wide leg black denim pants are appropriate, if that makes sense!)

Zipper: Definitely a full zipper. I love the asymmetrical zipper but it's not a deal breaker. The style and cut of the jacket are more important to me. I love gold and have seen a few with gold zippers/buttons. On the other hand, I like mixing metals and I wear too much gold and rose gold jewelry as it is. So silver on the jacket might be more fun and also more vlassic.
