Jild Black Casual Real Leather Biker Jacket for Men - Bomber Style Men's Genuine Leather Motorcycle Jacket

My dad LOVES his new jacket. I'd bought him a different brand earlier in XL that was a little too snug. I intended to buy him a 2XL in that brand, but saw this and saw the notes about sizing up. I bought him a 3XL, and honestly it fits like a perfect XL, so I'm so glad I sized up. The leather is super soft and even smells good. You just never know what you are going to get when it comes to unseen leather, and this was so good.

First of all, this fits my American body!The only other motorcycle jacket that I purchased recently was from Milwaukee Leather.I've already tried and returned four other jackets that had freakishly weird dimensions to them.One was shaped kind of like a pyramid with really narrow shoulders and a great big waste! Lol!The others had sleeves for the vertically challenged.And 6'2" and weigh 255 lb.I ordered a triple x.Have a big waste, but big shoulders to go with it.50" chest, 42" waist. 18.5" neckFits like a glove with room for one thick turtle neck wool pull over under it.The collar closes without the pullover underneath, but can't with it.If I'm not mistaken, this is actually made of cabretta from the sheep that grow hair, rather than wool.It's super supple!I don't think it's lamb skin, which is perfectly fine, because cabretta is better.In my youth, I had a cabretta jacket and really loved it.I wore the thing all the time.As a matter of fact, I've still got it in my closet after 60 years.It no longer fits of course, but this new jacket really reminds me of it!Very comfortable!The lining is comfortable, but unfortunately, is not removable.Nor is the jacket vented, which I hope will not be a problem in warmer weather.I'm hoping that the cabretta will breathe adequately without vents.I never got any sweat stains in my old original cabretta jacket, so I'm assuming I won't with this one either.The pockets are just right, including one that fits my phone like a glove, which is a OnePlus10 Pro with a fairly chunky armored case.The phone pocket completely covers the phone.There's also an inside zipper pocket above the phone pocket and another open pocket on the right interior.Two hand pockets on the outside and two zipper chest pockets, not that I put anything in them, because it would just look ridiculous making this supple leather bulge in the shape of whatever you put in there.When you push against it, such as when inserting your hands into the lower hand pockets, the leather is so flexible that it actually molds into the shape of your hand.It kind of reminds me of those horror movies where the monster is in somebody's stomach and it's stretches the skin before it busted out and you can see the outline of the monsters face pressing against the skin! 😂If you're not a very confident motorcycle rider, then you should probably opt for something else.This jacket has no armor protection and it's not durable enough to protect you from a serious skid.Such is the case with all of the jackets I've tried so far, even the ones with armor panels.When they come from overseas, they're just too darn thin to offer any real protection.My main concern is protection from the wind when it gets a little bit chilly, so in that case, I think this jacket will be perfect for me.It's kind of like a leather windbreaker.If you've got an American beer drinkin' physique, and you're looking for a thicker jacket with more protection, I would suggest looking at Milwaukee Leather's lineup.They are made with thick cowhide or bullhide.As far as this jacket goes I'm happy with it, and I'm keeping it.I've been riding successfully with no issues for 57 years, and I don't plan on crashing.I'm just too damn attuned to riding.It will never happen unless I suddenly stroke out. 😂For the guy that crashes, this is not the jacket for you!Nice jacket, and I would not hesitate to buy another.

Jacket looks great, the quality of the stitching not the greatest. Jacket size runs a size to big, l had to re order a smaller size. The leather is really soft, the style and overall look is great. I like it. Buy the way the seller has been very helpful.

I really really hate this and want it returned immediately please

3x fit mor like a xl. Nice quality tho
