HJC AC-12, plain white, less than $200 if shopped.
Hondaline (Intersport) full perforated leather jacket
OR... Dianese solid leather, depending on temperature,
WITH...
Wintex leather pants. Nicely armored, knee pucks, and full circumference adapter zippers to attach to either jacket. Track suitable.
OR...
Fieldsheer one piece leather, primarily used for the track but can use it on the street.
WITH...
Helimot back protector, turtle shell style, elastics around the torso under the jacket. Always used at the track, sometimes on the street, depending on squidly intentions.
Alpinestars S-MX, S-MX3, or Supertech boots.
Held Galaxy or Technic Violator II (?) gloves.
Underarmor long sleeve shirt and long johns, and silk glove liners to help deal with the sweat. Comfort for me, helps preserve the leather.
Light gymn shorts under the drawers and flip-flops under the bungee net. The whole rig can be removed as stops, time off the bike, dictate.
Additionally, I don't go out without some combo of the above listed unless I truly won't exceed 45MPH on the outing. That translates to a block to the store and occurs a max of 5 times a year. In those instances it's helmet, jacket, jeans, boots over the ankles, and gloves.
I estimate that using glove liners has tripled the life of my gloves. Not sure on the leathers because I care for them, wash them, and treat them. My oldest stuff has over 100,000 riding miles and still serviceable.
I also bought leftovers, perfect condition used, or last year's models on the leathers. Other than the Wintex pants that I couldn't find better than $350, I haven't spent more than $250 on leathers, yet. Shop around and don't be too picky on style. They all look totally funky at best, anyway.
