Great jacket, not too stinky(chemically solvent stink) like the lamb skin one that I bought from another. Fits perfect for me as specified in the sizing chart. Heavy duty, thick enough and will work well for protection riding plus bird crap from touching your skin. Looks awesome without all of the silvery snaps, zippers and crap. It is very warm and you would suffer in the summer time, baking. Winter time, you will be cozy warm for sure. The lining inside is smooth and comfortable. The zippers and pockets are perfect for what I put in them. Read more
Alright. This is the BEST highest quality coolest jacket you will EVER buy for this price. If you like this style: classic biker leather jacket. The second I took it out of the box I knew I hit the jackpot. You can tell a good quality product just by the way they package it and by the labels. Yes those things card labels they attach to the jacket. If they invest in something like a label they CARE about the product. This is an amazing jacket. It's thick cowhide, which tells you it will last forever, but not too thick. I also like this version which is cleaner over the original version which has way to many zippers, built-in belt etc for my taste. I like this version better. Much better. The fit is perfect, but go by the size chart. I'm usually medium but thankfully I went by the size chart and ordered small and it's a perfect fit ( meaning: it feels comfortable and just right). It has all the pockets ( inner and external) you need, hits just above the waste, the cowhide feels and looks amazing, and it has those waste buckles which is the best way to keep it tight ( much better than snap buttons). All the zippers ( hand pockets, vertical chest and cuffs ) are YKK and perfect size. My only worry about this piece of art is - do I have enough style to pull this off ?? If god allows me only one leather jacket then I think it will be this one. Should I say more ?? Read more
the jacket arrived two days early from the earliest shipping time, which was great. First impression was pretty "wow!" The fit was just about perfect--Im 6'2" and about 200 and ordered an XL. There's room underneath to layer a sweatshirt, sweater, or button-down shirt, but also works with just a t-shirt. the cut is semi-athletic, relaxed but not too loose. Style-wise, this jacket is a home run. Its a lighter and more streamlined version of the classic motorcycle jacket and can be dressed up or down. The leather is soft and appeared to have been oiled or waxed. The Brown version i got is a light brown and has a distressed look but not overly-distressed, i.e., sandblasted. It looks and feels broken in from Day One, though obviously it will stretch a bit to contour to your body with time. I'm looking forward to it developing a nice patina. Stitching and zippers are all quality. There are leather pulls on all the outside zip pockets. Snap fasteners for the collar and the lapels. And a buckle adjustment with three lengths if you need a tighter or looser waist. this looks stylish but in practice didnt work for me as the jacket is too thin. I have bucjles of the same variety on a thicker, burlier leather coat which don't have the same issue due to the thickness and cut. Luckily, for me, this didnt matter as the default middle hole was fine. Probably snaps would work better, but wouldnt look as stylish. There are two inside pockets, a standard wallet/passport pocket and a cell phone pocket. The only thing i didnt like was the embossed graphic of a cell phone on the pocket. Obvious and unnecessary, but it's an inside pocket so no one will care. The lining is some rayon or sateen material, it should block wind ok, but not insulated. Which makes it a three-season coat. you'd probably want to go with something a little warmer in bitter cole. the upside is it shouldnt get too hot indoors. The waist is on the short side which aids freedom of movement. Oh yeah, there are also zippered cuffs which is also stylish. This jacket doesn't look cheap at all ; it looks like it cost several times what it did, like a boutique style as opposed to assembly-line. You could pay more, but all you would be getting is a designer label. The style is very versatile and it feels great to wear. Works for my body type--tall and lanky with broad shoulders and long arms. I have a few leather jackets but this one seems destined to be a favorite. The dk brown color is great since you usually see this style in black. For the price, this is hard to beat. Would buy again and will definitely look for other styles from this maker. Read more
I love the material. Leather is softer than most biker style leather jackets. This is a lighter weight leather without an additional liner so not made for midwestern winters but a great spring and fall jacket which is why I bought it. I am between an XL and an XXL in sizes and am glad that I bought this in XXL as it would not have fit as an XL. The XXL was snug but fit. I just can't gain any weight. My advice is if you are unsure, go to the larger size. Read more
Surprisingly good quality. Not as heavy as a traditional motorcycle jacket, but definitely heavier than a fashion jacket. The leather is high quality for the price, seams and tailoring spot on. It has a clean trim look that’s well suited for casual dress, as well as a night out at the clubs. It would definitely keep you from getting skinned, if you took a fall off a bike. Fit is perfect. What I like, unlike traditional, leather motorcycle jackets is that when I raise my arms up, the sleeves uncommon don’t pull back as far leaving my wrists so exposed—good coverage when holding handlebars or steering wheel. X-large would probably suit 5’9 to 6’1 and 195-225 lbs. liner is ‘good’ quality, not ‘best’ quality—no issues with tears. I have a longish trunk, broad shoulders and larger chest a lats, couldn’t be happier. Read more
