This racer jacket is anatomically fitted for riding position. It is made of premium top grain distressed cowhide leather for maximum abrasion resistance. In addition to protection, distressed leather gives unique look and feel to each jacket. Embossed on the back of the jacket is a skull with wings. The jacket also features heavy-duty zippers, zippered chest and rear exit vents, 2 exterior zippered hand pockets, 2 interior snap pockets, a removable insulating inner zip-out quilted vest liner, zippered cuffs, lower back padding, and side straps for adjustable fit.

Great quality! Leather is a little stiff but seems to be loosening up. I have 16" apes and may not be best made for this style riding but it looks good. Armpit areas are just not cut for stretching up to bars, but again the jacket is great looking and good quality.. I'm 5'11 and 175# ... Large fits good without adding layers beneath.

This jacket is great. Very heavy thick leather. I get compliments left and right. I am 6'2" 220 and ordered the 2X. It fits great except the collar is a bit tight. I am an 18 inch neck and find it uncomfortable to snap the collar flap, but other than that it is a great jacket. I have worn it in 35* rides on the surface streets and it has kept me very warm. A little WD40 on the zippers did a world of good too. Also recommend zipper pulls to aid in using vents while wearing gloves as they are a bit on the small side. A+ thanks Leatherip!

For all the super skinny people just like me, my waist size is 30. I wasn't sure on what size to get since the small is from 32 to 34. Trust me, go ahead and get a size medium. I was immediately happy with my purchase of this particular jacket. It fits just right.

GREAT purchase. I just got this jacket yesterday and I must say that after two X-element items, I am a fan. The jacket is heavy (in a good way), good quality, and has all the right protection for what it is. It's still "cool" enough to wear even when not on the bike too. I will say that, like other reviews have stated, get their products a size bigger. I wear a 3-4XLT shirt usually and I ordered the 5xl. It fits JUST RIGHT...any smaller and it wouldn't fit. I am 6'4" 295-300 lbs but don't have much of a "gut", so if you do have a keg sitting up front, this might not zip up.
Anyways, great item, the quality is great, the look is cool, and I will be buying more in the future. The only downside was with leatherup.com itself (unless this was fedex's fault, then my apologies LU.com!). While I think this is a great site with good deals, I must say - I ordered my jacket on July 12 and it didn't get here until July 20. I live near Seattle. This comes from Los Angeles. I tracked it and watched the item just sitting around before moving out to the next spot. Usually when I order something from LA, it is here in about 3-4 days, since we are just up the west coast. Otherwise, Im a satisfied customer all the way! Thanks!

What a great jacket! I have Harley brand jackets and was a little sceptical because of the price, but when I received it, inspected it and put it on, I was thoroughly impressed. Definitly a great buy! I wear a XL but ordered a 2X just as everyone says to and it fits perfect.

Great looking jacket. Fits well quality seems good. I've bought a couple of jackets from LeatherUp and I've been very pleased with them. The sizing is dead on.

This is a very nice jacket! I stand 6'0" tall at a 195 pounds and I ordered a 2XL and it fits great with enough room for a sweatshirt if needed. If you order one, you won't be disappointed. Thanks Leatherup

I've only had this jacket for a month or so, but it seems to be a jacket... for the price. The leather feels very heavy... which is a good thing. I haven't had the chance to do any cold-weather riding yet; so far I have only ridden with the inner liner removed... but the jacket is very comfortable. I DID take the advice of previous reviewers and ordered one size larger than I normally would (going with a 2XL rather than XL)... I'm not sure whether this was the right choice. My jacket is just a 'bit' larger than I would have preferred, but I guess that's better than being too restrictive (like my racing jacket). Overall, I am pleased with the value of this jacket.
