A high quality textile jacket will save your skin better than an average quality leather jacket. At least that's what I've read. You're going to have to go north of $300 to get a decent quality leather jacket and, as you can see from previous posts, $400+ is more likely. I've heard great things about Vanson and Fox Creek as well as Roland Sands. I can't afford any of those at the moment, so I wear either a Joe Rocket or an Olympia textile and CE-armored jacket and Olympia textile and CE-armored pants.
