Remember you can only wear one at a time.... well you COULD wear more but it might be a little hot and uncomfortable.

Someone ought to make Luke Skywalker's jacket from the end of A New Hope... Now there's a Star Wars jacket I'm surprised no one has thought of making!
Best picture I can google on short notice...

ask and ye shall receive:
Luke's Ceremonial jacket is made from a size 38 racing jacket made in England at the time. The zipper has been covered by tan trim fabric. It has been taken in at the sides were tan trim has also been added. The flap on the breast pocket has been tucked in and a decorative fabric piece covers were the snap is. The jacket also had a snap on the right side of the collar which is either covered by the trim, removed or the collar was replaced.
Interesting Note: This jacket must have been a popular style in the 1970's. Besides being worn by Ponda Baba and later the Rebel Snowspeeder pilots in The Empire Strikes Back, it also made it onto a popular science fiction television series of the time. In the series Space 1999 the character Lt. Alan Carter (played by actor Nick Tate) wore this jacket in blue.

Yes, Luke's ceremonial jacket was a modified motorcycle jacket. Biggs had a white one too, I believe. But you'd have to wear a cape with that one.
