This jacket is great! It's a nice weight and is very well put-together. I'm 5'8, 173 lbs and ordered the XL and it fits perfectly. Plenty of pockets and good ventilation. The zipper pulls are a little gawky-looking but are a great functional touch when wearing gloves. If you have ever struggled to grab a zipper tab, or even one of the "cool" metal zipper pulls shaped like a skull or whatever with gloved fingers you'll appreciate this feature. I had never worn a jacket with armor before and was concerned about that but it's perfectly comfortable.

I received the jacket very quickly and was so happy. Jacket looked great, the leather was very nice, and it looked just like the pictures. Unfortunately it was too big (I'd crossed my fingers that it would run small like some other jackets). Paid return shipping for the jacket and I was refunded quickly without hassle. I was then hoping to buy Item: #B4510 only to find that as with most of the smaller sized items on LeatherUP, it isn't in stock. I hope LeatherUP will stock more jackets in size 38 soon. Please!!!

Just got my jacket today and was able to wear it on my way to work. It is a much cooler jacket then I thought it would be. It is quite breathable. I wouldn't recommend for very low temps. It was 38 degrees tonight and I was extremely cold. Had to pull over and put my rain coat on. It will make a wonderful summer jacket though. I am 5'9" 185lbs and I ordered a medium. The sleeves are perfect length for me and the coat overall fits well. I could use another inch or two in the front and back but didn't want to order a large due to my short arms. The leather is excellent, soft and supple. The perforated inner arms allow great airflow and will keep me cool in the hot weather. Would totally recommend this jacket to anyone. Just not for the winter. Very happy thanks Leatherup

Overall this is a great jacket. Except for the fact that the left sleeve wrist zipper broke the fourth time I wore it! All of the zippers are not YKK as it says in the description. Some of them are cheap junky zippers that break. The only solution I have been given by leatherup.com is to either take it somewhere and have it repaired and they will reimburse me or I can send it to them and they will repair it and have it back to me in 3 to 4 weeks. Pretty disappointing considering I have only owned the jacket for 12 days and only worn it 4 times. Buyer beware!

I don't understand the other comments all over this site regarding sizing! I ordered a different jacket a year ago - all the reviews recommended ordering one size up, but my instinct said I should order my size according to the chart. So I ordered an L. I was SWIMMING in it. I am 5'11" 165 and in very good athletic shape. I knew that I would need an S. So I have been waiting for this Jacket in S for a year. I wonder why S is so sold out? Its because that is the size that MOST men would wear. Listen riders... I know americans like to wear things over sized but moto leathers should be FORM FITTING - that is what protects you if you go down. Look at the real racers. There is a reason they wear it snug.

I got my S and to be honest it fits OK, it could be snugger around the small of the back and the biceps - it should fit like the picture.

Just sayin'

The jack has some positives and negatives. The leather, feel, and fit were amazing. very comfortable and very warm. However, my complaints are with the zippers. At 30 years old, I would like to think i know how to use a zipper correctly. However, within the first week of wearing the jacket, the zipper "stoppers" broke 3x. Once on the zip out liner, once on a random pocket, and once on the main zipper on the front. I zip up the jacket, and then im holding the actual zipper in my hand. Thank heavens my friend can sew... much easier than sending in for a replacement and paying the shipping charges. Maybe just my jacket was defective, but the zipper quality left a lot to be desired.

Very, very nice jacket! If you are under 6 foot tall, do not hesitate to buy this jacket for one second, you WILL love it!! ***BUT*** it is NOT for people over 6 foot tall!!!! I am 6' 4" and 180 lbs, and even a 3X is not anywhere close to being long enough!! It is almost 6 inches short of coming to my pant waist line. It comes to just above my belly button!! The sleeves on a 3X are the perfect length for my long arms, how can the rest of the jacket be THAT MUCH too short!?!? Ridiculous!

I'm 5' 9", weigh 180 and ordered the large. it's a snug fit which I prefer and will find someone to shorten the arms. Thought about returning the jacket but reviewing the options at Leatherup convinced me I had made the right decision. The two most important features to me were the quality of leather and ventilation. In the past I've ridden with a heavy leather jacket without air flow and was miserable. No other jacket appeared to meet these conditions. The liner zipper is defective and Leatherup was going to exchange it for me but decided to do my own layering. Being from Minnesota, I've learned a few tricks to stay warm.

I can't speak to the durability of the jacket as it's been below zero here for almost two months and that makes riding pretty miserable but based on the leather quality, detailing, and fit I expect good results.

I fully expected to pay return postage and would have been happy to do so. Buying online provides many choices, good products and outstanding value. The advantage of shopping a retail store is immediate feedback on size, material and finish. The disadvantage of retail is price. Someone needs to pay for brick and mortar and that someone is the shopper.

I'm happy with my choice!
