You'll probably be best of starting your search at El Corte Inglés (www.elcorteingles.es), Spain's one and only department store. They carry a little bit of everything.

If you say that, I'm sure you will think El Corte Ingles is exhorbitant. Barcelona isn't a cheap city, and prices in that store are what you'd expect from a dept store.
Barcelona has a lot of good leather goods, you should browse the smaller stores in El Born or Barri Gothic, and the streets just below El Corte Ingles (the direction towards the sea).
Kastoria (ave Cathedral, 6) sells leather goods near the Cathedral and there are lots of fashion shops around Jaume metro. I don't think cheap, but as as expensive as Loewes. Desigual is a more contemporary Spanish design store (there is one on the Ramblas) which might have leather jackets, although I think they have more fabric.
