| This jacket fits like it is supposed to... if you wear an XL, it will fit. The other reviews are probably looking for a more loose fitting jacket, this is a designed fitted jacket. I am 6' 1" and 200 pounds, this XL jacket fits perfectly and snug like it is supposed to. If you do want something a looser then yes you should get one size larger, but if you want it to fit like it is designed to fit, go for your normal size. |

| When I initially ordered, I ordered up a size with an XL, as recommended by other reviewers. XL was actually a bit too bit for me, so I had to process an exchange. I'm a lean 6' 175lbs and L worked out okay. Jacket is wonderful and my exchange process went smoothly as well |

| This web site is the best kept secret that i just can't keep the secret, I've told every biker I know if you order once you'll stop looking elsewhere the quality is consistantly the highest as if you've went to every dealer and hand picked only the higest quality . Every item that i've ordered, from the chaps then boots and now the padded armored leather jacket has surpassed even the quality that I've seen at the MOTORCYCLE conventions that I had to pay an admission fee to get in not to mention parking amd the expense of hauling my 5000 lb vehicle (during winter weather) to every gas station on the way and back just to get a "Discount" and now I'm like a kid in a candy warehouse, everything in here is good and exceeds expectations. no guess work here just go on the internet "click" and start smiling awaiting FED EX. |

| For only $139, I can't imagine getting a better jacket. I work for a prominent and leading outdoor apparel manufacturing company and the bang for the
buck is through the roof.
LeatherUp shipped my jacket on the same day I placed the order. It took a day for the processing to finish and it was on the road.
The jacket fits me great...it looks totally custom. I am 5'7", 135lbs and have an athletic build. I think the other comments about fit are really just subjective to your body type. I couldn't imagine going to a bigger size. My waist is a 30-31 and there's several inches on the jacket to spare...even with the liner.
The quality of the material: the outer shell (leather, stretch neoprene/polyester panels) are great. Top notch. The zippers, well, for a multiple condition jacket, a little weak. I know they're going to leak when I finally get to ride it in the rain. The quilted liner is kind of thin but does the job fighting off the morning chill. The mesh lining is a little scratchy (like raw wool)...but I got used to it pretty quick. The ventilation is awesome. Wouldn't recommend it for Phoenix, AZ in the summer, but 90 degree days in the northwest is pretty doable.
One of the snap buttons broke when I first pulled on it - I called LeatherUp and their warranty reimbursement plan sounds exceptional and I plan on going that route. The armor padding is not what I thought it was, although I'm fine with them. Initally, when you see padding with the CE rating, you assume that it's made of hard plastic but instead they use a foam based, supple material.
All in all, a good value. |

| This is a great jacket for the money !!! I wear a 3x and and read the reviews ,so I bought the 5x and I can't be any happier. I am 6 foot and 240lbs. I liked it so much I bought another for my son in 2x he is only 14 these jackets run on the small side so order big and don't forget to leave room for additional body armor. |

| In a word...AWESOME! This Jacket is supple, has the armor in all the right places, looks stellar and best thing is it's cheaper than all the local jackets I've looked at a motorcycle shops, Etc. I have now made three separate purchase from Leatherup and have never been disappointed. What a great company to deal with. You will love this jacket...but be sure to buy a size larger. I got a 4X and it fits me like a glove. |

| Silvano Velez from Katy, TX |
| Just received it!!! What a great jacket. Few things to note though. Size is a little tighter than I expected. I usually wear Large, so I ordered it Large, however, with the lining on, it feels very tight. Now, I like the jacket so much that I don't want to exchange it, so I am crossing my fingers that the leather will stretch a little bit with use, since it is a little stiff. As far as the jacket construction is concerned, this thing is solid and just looks kickass!!! The sleeves have fabric on the front of them, which you can see in the picture, but can't really tell if it is fabric or different lit up leather. It is stretch fabric, but looks good on the jacket. The pic on here is a pretty good indication of what you are gonna get, and yes it is heavy! I will definitely buy from this site and the Xelement brand again. Very satisfied and surprised at such great quality. |

| If you don't like a snug fit you should order a size lager. I find it fits me well and I got my normal size. I like the style of it and what a nice coat for the cold days. Well worth the money! Thanks Leather Up. |

| Mark from HUBBARDSTON, MA |
| I'm 6' tall and 200lbs. I made the mistake of ignoring the reviews and ordering an XL. Sure enough it was too small. I exchanged it for the 2XL and the fit is great. This is a very nice looking and feeling jacket. I would highly recommend the jacket and the customer service of Leatherup during the exchange process. |

| George from VINELAND, NJ |
| First time ordering and got it right 1st time. Normally wear a xl and ordered one size up like the reviews say. Good fit. Even with the 2xl it is snug with a sweat shirt on underneath, but just right with light weight shirt. Good quality and well made. Shipping was fast, considering I'm in NJ. Now looking for one for the back seat driver! |

| Brandon from ROHNERT PARK, CA |
| Awesome jaket! I get complimets everytime I wear it out. Its comfy, stylish, warm, and it makes ya feel good. Great vents for warm days. I took all the pads out because its a little more comfy that way, but with them in you feel very safe. Zippers are very sturdy and I dont think they will ever strip out. Fits over the gloves nicely. I am trying to think of something negative...I cant! Great price! This thing will not let you down. Two thumbs way up! |

| This jacket is awesome. As previous reviews noted order one size larger than normal. I"m a lean 6ft. got the xl and it looks like a custom tailored jacket. My friends payed twice as much for similar jackets and still preffered mine. |

| This jacket is badass. Very well armored, and it looks beautiful to boot! The jacket does run very small....I usually wear a XL, and I ordered the 2XL. Even the 2XL is very snug on me, so I decided to exchange it for a 3XL. No way you can find a leather jacket of this quality for less than this price. |

| Sport look to go with the M109R I ride, this jacket kills it. Well put together with quality through out. Excellent versatility with zip out liners and removable pads. Took it for a ride and it feels great with controlled air infiltration. Straight up, you feel like a bad ass with this guy on. Because of out of stock issues,I was stuck with a xxxl, a bit big in the size chart but fits perfect. Couldn't imagine wearing anything smaller, sizes run small. Get one if you can still can! |

| Excellent jacket! The size fits perfectly, the leather is heavy but supple, the zippers all work well, the vents work well, it looks good, and the price is right. The only surprise (not really a drawback) is that it is heavy - around 9 lbs. Highly recommended. |

| Richard L. from LAFAYETTE, CO |
| This is a very nice jacket; plenty of padding and vents, and it looks great!
A couple of qualms: the removable liner is very thin and offers little in the way of warmth, so if you're riding in a cold climate and need a fleece layer underneath, you definitely want to order one size up. I'm 5'10" 190lbs. and an XL gives me the room I need for a warmth layer.
The waist adjustment straps are designed strangely. If you need to cinch up the waist you'll need to double the strap back on itself.
For the price, I'm delighted! |

| David from BENSON, NC |
| I'm 6'5" 265 LBS. The 2xl was like a large. So then I tried the 4xL. Even that size barely fits. Wish the sleeves were 2' longer. Also wish I would have ordered 5x instead. Thought 5x would be huge. But after seeing the 4x, It probably would have fit perfectly. Don't haven't decided if I want to spend the money again to send it back to exchange it or not. Other than that, the Quality and the thickness of the leather is great. |

| John from SEBASTIAN, FL |
| This is an awesome jacket. High quality leather, top notch workmanship and an excellent price. Will definately buy here again. Being the summer in Florida, I thought I would be overheating, but removing the liner and unzipping the 6 vents keep me cool. The armor is removable and will be used on long trips for added safety. Order one size up... |

| Great Jacket! Heavy, warm, everything works perfectly - I could not believe that it costs so little, other jackets in the store for three or four times the cost will not compare. Looks awesome, and rides great! This is a great company to deal with, too, they processed my exchange within days! |

| If you are looking for a serious jacket with armor this is an excellent value. It is not a lite jacket, it is big and heavy, it will not pack well, but you will look great and I believe it will protect you. Definitely order at least one size larger than you normally wear. I have worn mine for several hours in 40 degree weather and am very pleased. Looks like is should wear well. |

| Order a size up as recommended. At 6ft, 155# I'm long armed and big shouldered. An XL fits great. Nice jacket for the price. Already proven it's worth in foul weather and it's not even rideing season in Pa. Pretty warm even though the zip in liner is lightweight. |

| Simply the nicest leather biking jacket I've ever owned. And for $119.95?? I told several friends and they were sporting jackets that cost 2 to 3 timies as much, and weren't nearly as beautiful or durable. If you normally wear an XL, but 2XL as they run a bit small. Tremendous value and extremely comfortable on long trips! |

| All other size references are right on. Ordered XL, 1 size up from chart. Armor is still stiff and without - does fit better, but I wanted it snug. Live in New Hampshire so havn't had a chance yet to ride, but can't wait. Quality and finish is way better than expected. And...my wife accused me of trying to look sexy and wanted me to return it. Nice looking jacket, IMHO. |

| James V. from Anza, CA |
| This is the Jacket that sold me on Leather Up products. It is very warm in cold weather, the wind does not penetrate but just flows right around you completely. The one day I wore it during warm weather I just opened the vents and was comfortable while on the move. I've not worn it yet without the liner, but I think it will be just fine during hot southern California summers. The jacket is of VERY high quality. I'm 6'4" 320lbs, middle aged, and the 5XL fits me very well. The ONLY nit-pick I might have is in a jacket of this quality I'd have loved to see a main zipper of solid brass as I think the jacket could last 30 years with care and the main zipper is a black material which I honestly cannot discern what it is made of be it a tough plastic-like material or actually black metal of some kind. I really like this jacket and would buy it again without hesitation! I do believe I went the "get one size larger" route with this perfect jacket. It is snug, but not at all tight on me. REALLY thick heavy quality leather on this one, you could probably slide 150 feet on asphalt without injury. Plus it has stratigically placed armoring too, something we didn't have when I last rode heavily about 27 years ago. Unbelievable price/quality ratio. |

| Medeis N. from El Cajon, CA |
| Very nice jacket with a couple of caveats:
I am 5'10", 44" chest, 30" waist, 17" arms and the large fits well, wearing like a medium, except for the arms which are very tight, and the forearms feel almost like a tourniquet. I stuffed them overnight with folded towels and the day after I could actually wear the jacket and retain circulation in my hands, however, only one layer of long sleeves can be worn under.
On the other hand, the jacket is warm enough to require no more than a couple of t-shirts in 50 degrees weather.
There is only one inside pocket, unsecured, though it runs vertically and fairly deep, so nothing should spill out. |

| I did a lot of research before buying this jacket. It is a quality product at a great price. I got the large size. I'm 5'8" and 180lbs and it is a snug fit but you dont want it to be loose. With some wearing in I'm sure it will give a bit anyway. All the safety protection seems to be in the right places. I would recommend this jacket. Items came quickly. |

| Bought this for my husband and he absolutely Loves it! The quality is beyond what I expected (for the price). My hubby normally wears a 2X and we got the 3X just in case, and it fits him perfectly. The jacket is heavy and has a removable lining. It's not too bulky either and keeps him warm without the many layers necessary riding in cooler weather. I recommend not only this jacket, but Leatherup.com. I will shop again. |
