I bought this jacket for my dad, he wanted something a little more sporty with pockets, zippers, buckles, things like that. We got that for sure, it is a really nice jacket, has a lot of detail, love the color. We went with the lighter brown color, it is really classy. The only thing is, it is a really snug fit. He is an XL normally so we went with the XLT since he is tall as well and it fit really tight. We ended up returning this one an ordering an XXLT, it just came and it is still a fitted jacket but does fit much better. Would recommend going up one size if not two sizes with this jacket if you want any wiggle room at all. With the XLT, which should have fit him perfectly, he was standing like a statue and couldn't move in it much at all. He kept the XXLT now and seems to like it but I think we could have even gone up to a XXXLT and it would not have been too big.

***For whatever reason Amazon jumbled up the photos I uploaded so sorry in advance 😂.

This review is a long one, so buckle up. It covers the quality & specs of the jacket in addition to the sizing recommendations from both my husband (5'8, 180 pounds, 40 inch chest) AND his best friend (6'7, 300 pounds on the money and a chest measurement of 49 inches). So if you want to read about any of the above mentioned topics, you're welcome to read the whole review or simply scroll down to the designated section. Now, sit back and enjoy the review :).

HUSBAND SIZING:
This jacket is amazing! I purchased it for my husband and he is obsessed. He is 5'8 and weighs between 180 pounds. He usually wears a size large because of his shoulders and the fact that he has a longer torso and isn't a fan of shirts riding up. However, I really wanted this to fit him properly (because it is a "slim" fit jacket) so I measured his chest at the widest part and he measured 40 inches exactly. Based off their sizing chart, a body chest size of 39"-41" recommends purchasing a medium so I did and it fit him great (in my opinion 😂). I was so worried about it being too tight on his shoulders or too short but it looks perfect on him. I could not recommend their sizing chart more!! Measure your chest at the widest point and go with their recommended sizing guide.

***Just a few updates on sizing if it helps someone else out! Although the jacket did LOOK like the fit was great it ended up being too tight on his shoulders, chest and stomach when he tried to actually function in it. This jacket is a slim fit jacket by definition so if you are on the high end of the recommended measurements OR prefer your jackets to be a little looser fitting (which my husband does) we would definitely recommend sizing up one size. Because of this, we exchanged his medium for a large and he could not be happier!

QUALITY & SPECS:
Honestly, I was slightly hesitant about this jacket because my husband doesn't like clothes that look too trendy and I also didn't know if the jacket would be a cheap replica of the photos shown in the ad or not (we've received some comically terrible fakes before 😂). However, I can assure you that the jacket in the ad is the EXACT jacket you will receive and the jacket itself is amazing quality! The jacket really is a BEAUTIFUL suede like genuine leather and my husband said it's one of the most comfortable jackets he's ever owned. You have the option to remove the hood to personalize it for your needs that day (it just zips right off!) and looks great both ways (although my husband does prefer with the hood attached). There are so many pockets on the jacket and they are all fully functional! He loves the interior pockets for keeping his possessions safe when he is on his motorcycle. The jacket also has ribbed arm cuffs for the perfect fit and is even wind resistant and keeps him cozy warm while he is riding. Keep in mind that this jacket is a thin leather, so wear it riding at your own discrepancy. This jacket is exceptional quality overall and we are very impressed.

BEST FRIEND SIZING:
After seeing how awesome this jacket was, my husband's best friend decided to buy it in black. Again, he is 6'7 tall, 300 pounds and has a chest measuring in at 49.5 inches. (48.0 inches relaxed, 50.0 inches when standing straight up and chest out). Based off the recommended sizing chart he fell perfectly within the lines of a 2XL and being the height that he is, decided to buy a 2XL TALL. The jacket he received is the same exact awesome quality we anticipated, so I'll save you that spiel. HOWEVER, the fit of the jacket was too tight for him and even in the 2XL TALL sizing, the bottom of the gray jacket was roughly 4-5 inches above the bottom of the leather jacket. The jacket did fit him in the sense that it did zip no problem (you can see him standing in our garage in the black jacket in one of my numerous photos in the 2XL TALL sized jacket). The problem was that it was too tight in his shoulders and the length of the jacket, particularly of the hooded under portion. When he moved, flexed, took a deep breath of air or had any regular movement the jacket was too tight on him. He told me it fit like a "baby Gap" jacket on him 😂. After really diving into the "big and tall" sizing chart we decided to exchange it for a 3XL (the options were awkwardly a "3XL" or a "XXXL" so based on the color he wanted we opted for the "3XL" since there was no tall option to choose from). After receiving the 3XL he told me that it did fit much better but unfortunately the shoulders were still a little too tight and the shortness of the jacket really bothered him (keep in mind this guy is 6'7) so he would also recommend sizing up!

CONCLUSION:
Overall, this jacket is one of the most impressive purchases we've ever made on Amazon and we highly recommend it, you will not be disappointed! The sizing chart is impressively legit, but keep in mind that this is a slim fit jacket so if you want a looser fit or find yourself on the high end of the sizing chart, do yourself a favor and size up one :). Hope this proves helpful for others looking at this jacket! It really is amazing.

Absolutely love this jacket. It's warm, it's well made, and it looks awesome. The size fit perfectly and I like the weight of it as well. Heavy duty.

I bought this jacket in 2020 and am writing this review in 2023. This is a great jacket. It's genuine leather, the look is great, the quality is excellent, and it's very warm. I always get compliments on this jacket, including more than one person jokingly threatening to steal it. If I ever lost it, I'd buy another in a heartbeat.

I'm 6'2", 215 pounds-ish, with an athletic build, and usually wear a size 48R sport coat. I bought this jacket in an XL and it fits perfectly over a warm long sleeve shirt.

I do have some criticisms, but they are about as minor as can be. After three years of winter wearing, there is some pilling on the jersey hood part, but I suspect a lint trimmer would take it off in a minute. Also, this is going to sound dumb, but the leather smell when this jacket was new was...a lot. It made my whole coat closet and everything in it smell like leather. It still smelled really strongly of leather two years later. It still kind of smells like leather sometimes when I open the coat closet now, three years later. You may think "I love the smell of leather!", well, you'd better.

But that's all I can come up with for negative things to say. This jacket looks great on a lot of body shapes (I know because people keep trying it on). It's high quality, and I have zero regrets about buying it. The highest praise I can give is something I said in paragraph 1: if I ever lost this jacket, I would buy another one in a heartbeat.

After a few months of motorcycle wear, the jacket is well made, looks great, and I don't see it having any issues in the near future.
Jacket is very warm and has lots of pockets storage. Would recommend to anyone looking for a new riding jacket
