How to clean vinegar out of leather jacket?

Can you help me find a classic, badass, [fake] leather jacket?

• For the past year or so I've been daydreaming about buying a classic leather motorcycle jacket, like http://www.schottnyc.com/products/womens-vintaged-cowhide-fitted-motorcycle.htm?catID=21 or http://toj-gallery.com/main.php?g2_itemId=2659. Tragically, though, I cannot afford to spend $700. My budget is more like $200. Can you help me fake it? I see a lot of faux-leather jackets in that range, and I'd in theory be willing to go with fake leather - especially if I think of it as a test drive to find out if I'd actually wear a leather jacket often enough to spend the big bucks someday. But all the faux-leather jackets I can find where I usually shop look really trendy and have lots of dumb little fashion-y details. I don't like quilting on the sleeves, or any non-leather trim. (My dream jacket wouldn't even have the belt that the Schott's jacket does). I really like the side zip, and the classic collar. I buy a fair number of my clothes used, and this desire was actually triggered by finding my dream jacket at a vintage store only to have it stolen RIGHT OUT FROM UNDER ME in a tragic incident that still upsets me to think about, so that's something I would consider if you pointed me in the right direction online. (Of course, I am also posting this question in the secret hope that there's cheap quality jacket store out there I'm not aware of...and if you can find my dream jacket for me in leather, I could probably stretch the budget to $300.) I wear a women's medium. Thanks!

  LeatherUp.com has http://www.leatherup.com/c/Womens-Leather-Motorcycle-Jackets/3/1248.html, including some that are http://www.leatherup.com/p/Womens-Leather-Motorcycle-Jackets/Xelement-Womens-Black-Classic-Casual-Leather-Jacket/3447559.html in appearance to the one you like. They are real riding gear though, not just motorcycle-styled fashion jackets. So they may have heavier leather than you expect, reinforcements in the elbows, longer sleeves (so they cover your wrists when you are seated with arms extended), cut longer in back (to not expose asscrack when you're riding), etc. Many also come with liners that you probably don't care about. If you never intend to actually ride a motorcycle, you may want to get it altered slightly. But there's probably substantial room in your $300 budget for that. The reputation of LeatherUp is that their sizes run fairly large, at least compared to Euro brands. But they also have the reputation of being basically the cheapest place around for non-used leather gear.
