First Impressions
I'm 5'11" , 169 lbs and a 34" waist with my V shaped build slowly trying to edge toward U, wear a 40 regular suit almost off the rack.
I read the sizing guide 1st mfg provides online and based on that I need a size small, so that's what I got and ended up with a perfect fit. With arms extended the sleeves still covered my wrist, the bottom of the jacket covers the top of my pockets wearing jeans, and with the liner in the only "extra" room aligns around my sternum area exactly where a baby glock and magazines tuck away perfectly in the concealed carry pocket; pistol on the right and mags on the left and I'm set. With the waist buckles cinched all the way in it seals the bottom of the jacket right at my hips.
Leather is good! Don't expect a real break-in period to be needed. Stitching seams perfect. The chest pockets aren't just vents and will hold a regular sized iphone, samsung or my LGE Thinqv40 just fine. More room in the single sleeve pocket than I expected which will easily hold a multi tool or smokes and a lighter, or a two-battery vape mod with large tank on top. Standing, the hand pockets are a little straight but sitting on the bike they're perfect. So hope that helps with the fit and the function.
With hindsight if I had the choice again to buy it, I would. If I could do anything to it to make it perfect I would probably add back zippers like the Top Performer jacket and sleeve vent zips - I live in a warm climate.
