| Excellent quality jacket...very nicely made...metal zippers, removable lining,etc...did not expect it to be this high quality....it looks exactly as pictured...you will be pleased with the quality! It is extremely heavy with the padding and armor....I thought the size was right on. I was nerous reading the other reviews about ordering a size bigger....it is made to fit, not float. This is the 3rd purchase from Leatherup, and I have been extremely happy with the prices, quality, and quick shipping!!! |

| I have had this jacket now about a month. Excellent quality and very heavy weight. Zippers are all metal and need a bit of soap but very nice. The more i wear it the more broken in it gets. and the nicer it fits and wears on me. I am 6 foot 1 inch and about 199 lbs and the 2XL fits well with plenty of room. Actually I could wear the XL. Very comfy and armor does not get in the way. John Hickman Venus Pa. |

| Great price for a great jacket. The leather quality is excellent. I ordered my size (instead of ordering one size big) and it fits great. I will use this site again. |

| This jacket is a great fit. I really like the short collar and the added armour in the shoulders and elbows. It kept me warm in chilly weather while riding. |

| All leather, looks like the picture, its actually a pretty quality jacket. It is a little bulky and it seems to me like the sizes run big because I am 5'10' and 130 lbs, a small is a little big. I would have ordered an extra small, but it isn't bad. It does come with a zip out liner and plenty of vents so I stay relatively cool. I ordered it with a hawk helmet and I gotta say ,I look pretty badass. |

| The jacket is quite heavy-duty; therefore inspire confidence from a safety p.o.v. The waist is a bit lower, but that?s good because it covers your back. The sizing is accurate, if you normally wear a large, get a large, not one size bigger. It is worth the money. |

| I was surprised by the weight of the jacket when I picked up the box. The size is accurate and fits like a glove. It looks like the picture with quality to match. Defiantly gonna keep ordering from Leatherup! |

| Richard M. from Fairburn, GA |
| What a jacket!! I couldnt wait to wear it. In Atlanta I have worn this jacket during temps as low as the teens and was comfortable. It took a couple of weeks to break it in, but it was well worth it. I ordered this jacket to my size, and after breaking it in I have a good fit for bike riding. Odering from Leather Up has been a pleasure every time. |

| Charles K. from WORTH, IL |
| At the risk of making the reviews of this jacket repetitive, I am very impressed for the price. I own a lot of biker gear, and this is one of the best purchases I have made thus far. The armor inserts are just as thick and cover more area on the forearm and shoulder than the Level 3 replacements, so an armor upgrade seems unnecessary. There is also a large back armor plate underneath the shell, plus what you see on the outside! The quality is superb and I found no defects in material and workmanship. The fit is right on-the-money for my size (I strongly suggest measuring your chest and sizing as suggested), and as with all biker jackets, the arms are a bit long since it is made to be worn with your arms extended. The look of the jacket is aggressive, but not so over-the-top that you will look "loud." Just a word of caution: as with all motorcycle jackets, this is not for leisure wear; it fits snug (especially around the neck, waist and chest), and is stiff. That being said, I doubt if you will see me on my bike without it! Good Job, LeatherUp.com! |

| David F. from SACRAMENTO, CA |
| This is a great looking jacket! I usually wear XL so I got an XL. Most of the jacket fit right, but the arms! (a little tight) I found it difficult to put on my helmet and I didn't get full range of motion, dont try to put your elbows together. The rest of the jacket was big, it fit like it should. When I recieved it I found a couple of stitching issues. I called right back. Customer service asked me to email pics, which I did right away and they replied back for me to return it. LeatherUp.com was so quick at responding with great service! I didn't expect it. I hopped on the bike rode down to a leather shop and had the stitching (in a couple of small places) done. When I got back I had a message and an email from LeatherUp.com wanting to know if I was going to send it back! Nah!, I'll keep it. Thanks Just make the arms of the jacket more flexible and youll have a very nice jacket!! |

| Sick jacket !!!! heavy duty leather, well worth the $$$$. Why pay $500 and up for some jacket that just has a name on it. Seems sizes are true fit, I wear an XL jacket and a XL fits. |

| I ordered the xl and it was small. Had to return for a 2xl. Took awhile for the return to process but finally got it and like the jacket. It is a little stiff with the armor but will probably break in fine. The jacket seems to be high quality and very nice. I would suggest ordering 1 size larger than you usually wear. |

| This is a great jacket. Heavy leather, nice zippers, warm. I have been riding in 50 degree weather with just a T-shirt under this jacket and have been very comfortable. I am 5'6, 180 lbs with a 36" waist. I orderd a Large which fits me perfect. I will definitely be back to Leather Up to buy more things. |

| marcus l. from GASTONIA, NC |
| The quality of the leather for this jacket is unbelievable! Took my time looking for a quality jacket that offered all the features I wanted(venting and padding) at a price I could afford. Excellent quality and excellent price! For concern of jacket being too small, I did order one size larger(xl) than I normally wear. Can't compare size to a large but wife seems to think xl was the way to go! I am 5'5" at 180lbs. athletic build. I think a large with a sweatshirt underneath might be too tight. Overall I am very,very satisfied with my executioner armored black racer motorcycle jacket! |

| Adam C. from Midlothian, TX |
| This is a very high quality jacket. The jacket breaks in nicely and is very comfortable while riding. The armor does not get in the way at all. Many reviews state to order one size up. I completely disagree with this. I am 6'2" and 195 lbs. and the XL fit great with plenty of room to spare for a couple of additional layers. This jacket is made to fit and if you follow the size chart, it will fit great. Please note that after a few rides, the jacket will break in very well and provide some additional comfort. For the price, you cannot beat this jacket. |

| Very nice jacket that arrived quickly. The fit is awesome: flat on the back with a good bend at the shoulders and elbows. The liner is plenty warm and easy to remove / reattach. This is the first leather jacket I've bought for riding and I would most definitely recommend it others. Good deal. |

| I promptly received my order and did not get a chance to use it until 1 week later when snow was falling in the foothills. I went for a ride with the temp's in the upper 30's and was immediately impressed that I stayed warm and comfortable for the whole trip of 150 miles. It was an added bonus being able to remove padding and make adjustments as I needed. Thanks. |

| Scott W. from Talihina, OK |
| I have had my jacket for about a month now and couldn't be happier. Sizes are right on! This is a very heavy jacket and is very stiff at first. Give it several rides to start breaking in. It gets more comfortable every time I wear it and is plenty warm enough for rides down into the low 40's without the liner. This jacket is very well made and I'm surprised at the thickness and quality of the leather every time I put it on. It should provide good protection if the rubber side ever leaves the ground and is more than warm enough. I have had other jackets that cost 4-5 times as much as this one and I prefer this one to them all! Thanks LeatherUp for offering great products at prices we can all afford! This was one skeptic about ordering "cheap" products online that will be buying all my leather goods from LeatherUp. |

| Jacket is better than shown! Great soft leather with sturdy, quality zippers. I ordered a size larger and the fit is perfect. I have gotten wonderful compliments from family and friends. The armor takes a bit of breaking in, but no problem. Keeps you warm in all kinds of weather. Price is unbelieveable especially for the quality! Many thanks. |

| Rusty B. from Frankford, DE |
| I just received my jacket and gloves today and tried them on and they both fit great. I did however have to go one size up (3X) to get the proper fit on the jacket, but I kinda knew this as I tried on leather jackets from other MC stores just to make sure. It might be wise to do so just to be sure because every person is different and in my case it really paid off. Great product, great price, great service. I'm telling all my friends both bikers and non bikers about Leather Up. Thanks everybody, ride safe. |

| This Jack is great. The price is great deal for great quality. It keeps the chilliness out-and is a simple mean and black jacket that fits crotch rockets to cruisers. As said in the other reviews, you want to get a jacket the same size you wear. The Jacket has insulation and style to boot. |

| Tee W. from Portland, OR |
| Great jacket. Well made, nice stitching details, and quality YKK zippers. I'm 5' 8", 150lbs, 31" waist and ordered a medium. The fit is right on. If you like it tighter fit, the order to size. If you like a looser fit, then order 1 size up. A few other informational things on the jacket. The zipper sleeves are not gusseted. It's not a bad thing, just different. The fit in the forearm is a little tight. I don't mind but if you have huge arms, it might be an issue. |

| I am very pleased with the quality of this jacket. The armor is well placed. One thing I would change is the collar snap. There should be two instead of one to allow for different neck sizes. I ordered a XL and found it to be very snug. I had to remove the back armor and liner to get a more comfortable fit. I have not had this problem with any other XL sized jackets. |

| Ya gotta believe this is a top quality jacket. The picture does not do justice. The shoulders are not pointed at the sleeve, Very cool looking. I got great compliments from friends. I am 5 foot 7 and a half inches. 170 lbs. and a Large fits perfect. Very nice, warm on a cool day in the 60's. Armor easily removeable, along with the liner. I bought a Helmet after getting this deal from Leatherup. No reason to go anywhere else. I checked Ebay and the quality is not there and no better deal can be had anywhere I searched. Thanks Leatherup |

| Aleksander G. from Calgary, AB |
| Overall satisfied with my purchase despite few minor problems with the merchandise. one problem was that on a man's jacket zipper was locking in a lady's type of way (right-to-left) and right shoulder elastic element was not ideally stitched on the edge and I was having to glue it up to close exposed edges. Both issues were not serious enough to justify replacement costs... |

| I recieved my jacket a couple of days ago and could not wait to try it out.I have been both in the city and the highway with this and performs wonderfully. It looks great, the weight is awesome and the vents work excellant.It was 80 degrees and the jacket stayed nice and cool with the vents.I live in Canada,the true north strong and free ,and cant wait to see how it performs in the cold. Oh yeah and the price is a third of what I would have paid at my local cycle shop. I'll be a Leather Up customer untill the day I die. |

| Received the jacket, tried it on and one of the arm vents zipper broke the first time it was pulled. No problem sending it back, but that jacket and three others were "out of stock" when I tried to order another. No problem returning it, except I had to pay shipping. No hard feelings towards Leathup, I will shop there again. |

| Bryan J. from KYLE, TX |
| Ok, I'll be very thorough with this review to help anyone looking into buying it. First off, great job Leatherup for shipping this packaged well and super fast. 3 days ground from LA to Austin, TX.
Sizing-- I'm 6'0" and 175lbs with a lean muscular build. I originally ordered a Large based on the sizing they have listed, but it was WAY too big. I managed to fold the chest 3 times to get it tight. Also, this jacket is not for people with narrow waist. I wear a 33"-34" and this size must be for 40" in the chest, as well as the waist. The velcro adjustment straps did not help.
Once I returned the jacket for the Medium, I was happy with the fit and the velcro straps adjusted well around my waist. The leather is very thick and breaks in well.
Highs-- The leather is very durable, contours to the body and riding position well, ventilates well, LOOKS AWESOME, and is comforrtable.
Problem Issues-- I found the neck a little high and tight while riding, uncomfortably rubbing my Adam's Apple.
The zippers everywhere are very durable, heavy duty, but will start to unzip at the wrist while moving your hands. I find myself constantly pulling them back down.
And finally, the liner seems to bunch up under my back when I put the jacket on, a simple button snap or zipper holding the liner down would be a great addition to this jacket.
I hope this helps everybody. I STRONGLY reccommend ordering a size down if you think you may have the same issue as me. Safe riding everybody...... |

| FANTASTIC jacket. Great quality and affordable price. Padding is thick and in all the key places. It does run small, as most gear from Leatherup does so I ordered one up from my regular size. Even though its a snug fit with the liner...so if you want to wear a sweatshirt or something else under it, order two sizes up. |

| Excellent coat at an excellent price. I am 6'2" and 200 lbs. I originally ordered an XL but it was very small. I returned it for a 3XL and it fits great. Heavy enough for winter riding and cool enough for 80 degree weather even with the liner in. Very comfortable, fits snug and looks great. I looked at similar jackets in local stores that were not as well built and were 3 times the price. I am extremely happy with my purchase. To top it off, LeatherUp was quick and responsive to my request for the different size. I recommend this coat for all serious cruisers..........Jay Lickus, Surprise, AZ |

| Matthew H. from Cincinnati, OH |
| I haven't ridden with the jacket yet (sleet and freezing rain outside, don't want to test out the armor THAT WAY). The large fits perfectly, as I'm 5'10, 190lbs. As with everything else from Xelement, the quality is astounding for a jacket as affordable as this. Everything is heavy duty, and the leather is soft, but still seems thick enough to protect against the cold, not to mention an unfortunate close enounter with the pavement. The only problem I have with it is that the elbow armor is a little uncomfortable, but that will probably resolve itself with some break in. |

| Patrick from TALLAHASSEE, FL |
| I bought this jacket a few weeks ago and I like it a lot. It's been very hot so far, so I haven't had the chance to see how warm it keeps me in the cold. While moving, the vents keep it cool enough on a hot day in Florida, but of course I'm sweating when I get there.
As far as safety goes, the leather is pretty thick and heavy. I took a little spill with it on the other day and hit my shoulder. I didn't know I hit it until I found scuff marks on the jacket and looked at my shoulder to find a couple of red spots. I really didn't feel it hit. I sure it would have been worse at a higher speed, but I'm glad I had this or I'd be in more pain today, I'm sure. |

| Diego from OAKLAND, ME |
| I am very pleased with this purchase. The jacket is exactly as pictured. There is true value in this item since the price is far below that of other comparable quality jackets sold eleswhere. I have to disagree with the previous review which stated it ran big. My husband typically wears a large jacket therefore I ordered an extra large based on other jacket comments from this site. I admit the jacket is roomy in the shoulders, but waist and length etc are running a size smaller. The extra room in the shoulders is good for those really cool fall rides in Maine, allowing you to add a hooded sweatshirt under the jacket. A very small framed person may find this extra roomy. |

| I love this jacket! The leather feels great and I have used it on some cool nights already and it is soooo comfortable. The sizing is great and the sleeve length is long enough to cover just past my wrist. That is usually hard for me to find with any long sleeved items! The vents are just superb and quite effective in the sleeves also. |
