This is a real leather motorcycle jacket and worth the money.
I ride a 99 Shadow ACE so I figured I'd get a real leather jacket that fit the style and I'm so glad I got this one over the cheapo ones on Amazon. UPS said the shipping weight was 10lb and it came in a bag so it's all jacket. Leather is thick and feels great. I was a little worried about the sizing issue I kept reading about in comments being a lifter with broad shoulders and also about the "American cut" these come in.
First, I'm 205, have a 47" chest, 36" waist and am 5'11" (long legs, short torso). The Large fits great with the liner in and has a little extra breathing room without it. Greatly surprised that it fit shoulders since usually that's the trouble spot for me and clothing. Even putting my arms all the way in front of me feels like a glove fit over my shoulders and through the armpits. I know these are advertised to have a larger stomach, but the buckles on the side can be cinched in (I put mine to the tightest of the 3 loops) and it makes a good fit around my waist. In terms of the jacket itself, the concealed carry pocket are massive. You could probably put a 1911 in this thing if you wanted and the pocket for keys is pretty small, but not a big deal. The top pocket is actually just a vent, but I run hot so I like this. All the zippers are YKK unlike a lot of the cheaper brands you'll find. All in all, I'd buy this jacket again in a heartbeat. Can't wait for Fall so I can wear this.
As for armor, I put the CE1 armor I had from my Bilt Summer jacket into…
