This jacket is made of premium distressed cowhide leather. Distressed leather gives a unique look and feel to each jacket. It is also thick and heavy, allowing for maximum abrasion resistance.

This is probably the best deal on a biker jacket there is! Seems to be very well made with quality stitching and hardware. Thick leather and unnoticable armor...as heavy as this coat is, it doesn't constrict your movement. The zip-out lining has four buttons that secure the liner to the back of the coat and keep it from flapping and bunching up. The pockets are deep enough for cell phones and smokes.
I followed everyone else's advice and ordered one size larger than I normally wear. You'll want to do that, too. Excellent fit in the shoulders for me, and the sleeves are long enough that they don't ride up your wrists when you're holding on to the handlebars. The body of the jacket is customizable width-wise with the laces (good thing...no restaurant ever made any money on me when I laid a smack-down on its buffet), and the bottom rides right at my beltline. I would've liked to have seen it come down past my waist an inch or two, but this isn't a deal breaker.
We'll see how it lasts; I'm a daily rider, not a boutique biker, so this coat will see a lot of time in the wind. But still, it appears that with reasonable care, my new leather should last a long time.
And I still can't believe it was only 149.95...delivered!

5'10",185lb,37w = LG. Any bigger go up a size.I didnt want to go XL to avoid too long sleeves and too big shoulders. No disapointments here,like a half price sale with free shipping.What you see is what you get. Leatherup for me.

A BEAUTIFUL, heavy, well made jacket with ample length in the arms - perfect for summer riding. I'm a size 40 and it fits perfectly however if you are on the upper side of a particular size, I would recommend ordering the next size up because it runs a bit small. Condition the jacket with Lexol or a weather proofing cream and this jacket will last a lifetime. Noone can beat the price / quality. Leather Up has a repeat customer and a recommendation from me to anyone who will listen. Keep up the good work.

Recieved Jacket and first thing you notice that this not a cheap made product. Leather is heavy & thick top quality. Size XL right on the numbers fit is excellent with room to spare for plenty of cold weather riding. Zip out liner would have been nicer if it were a little more insulating nicely made tho. If youv'e priced coats you wont beat the Quality & Price here.

I love the jacket! I normally wear a large and ordered my jacket that way. It fits a little snug around the stomach but that's preferred by me. I'll wear a cold weather athletic underarmour shirt when it gets cold out. I tried it out the other day when it was cool - it works great! However, if you have a large midsection or want to wear layers underneath I'd suggest going up one size. It's really comfortable to ride in! The price is excellent!!! When I pulled it from the box all I could say is wow!!!

Just received this jacket and must say I am very impressed at the quality of this jacket. It is very heavy so it will block the wind very well. The fit runs just a tad small, so people may want to go a size up. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a heavy, quality jacket that brings a bit of the past back to life.

Great jacket, leather is very heavy, styling is good, zippers seem heavy-duty (though the leather tassels on the zippers will probably tear out soon, but not a big deal). Only complaint is the zip-out liner isn't actually very warm, I think I'll need a layer or two underneath as it gets later in the fall.

I love the jacket fit is great . I ordered 1 size up like the reviews said which gave me nice room layering for cold weather . I would say this has to be one of the best jackets I have worn and the price is great . Good job I will order in the future .

Overall I cam say I am very pleased with the jacket. I was a little unsure about the fit in the chest and waist but for the price it is definately a better buy than any of my local retailers could think of offering. I get lots of compliments on the jacket even though it is a bit large on me. The function of the jacket is without flaw as well. I recommend the jacket to anyone looking at purchasing this one.

I chose this jacket after searching the inter-net for days and asking every biker I know about where to get a quality leather jacket. I was not disappointed at all with chosing this biker jacket. Its weight is comperable with other jackets that I looked at that cost over 3 times the price at Leather Up. I would recommend this jacket to anyone looking for an "old school" biker jacket. They do run a little small, so order one size larger then you think you need.
