EVENT LEATHER EL5411 Men's Black Classic Side Lace Motorcycle Leather Jacket – Motorcycle Riding Jackets

This is a fantastic jacket and a great value. Fits and looks great, and even has a zip out liner for when it gets really cold. It doesn’t take some breaking in so expect it to be a little noisy while you soften it up, but that’s all part of owning one of these. One note, make sure to inspect it when you get it, including under the liner. My first jacket has a small seam split under the liner near the arm that I didn’t see until I removed the liner. Easy fix, they sent a replacement and I sent that one back. It happens, all good.

I read about 20 to 30 good and bad reviews and there were so many conflicting reviews: too small, short arms, stiff etc. I’ve posted pictures and this jacket is perfect FOR ME: I’m 6 ft 195 with 32 inch waist, 45 in chest and athletic build. Pros: heavy duty leather and it feels like a custom Harley jacket that goes for 1000+$. The zippers are heavy and jacket pockets are well liked. Liner very nice and warm. The leather feels vintage and stiff. It would do well in a road rash episode and maybe protect you against a sharp object but don’t quote me on that. It needs to be broken in and DUBBIN oiling. Cons: single stitching but nothing my Tailor can’t reinforce. Buckles aren’t brass or stainless. This jacket is for athletic fit guys and maybe a slight dad bod. You chubby heavy set dudes won’t like it. Talk guys will struggle with length of the jacket. It was a perfect fit for me and the compliments from the ladies are over the top. Good luck.

Quality is better than expected for the price. Leather is thick with that nice leather smell, and the jacket is comfortable. Zip out liner adds some warmth when needed. Zipper seems to be a good quality. Jacket needs to be broken in to be comfortable. As for the size, I followed the reviews that said get 2 sizes larger and it's a little big on me.

Good buy Well made I am able to ride in feb and not freeze thank you. Size your self bigger I wear XL normally, and I went to a 3X and got a good fit for me. One thing the seller forgot to put in the add and this is a good thing. It has many pockets 6 in total, 2 big pockets with snaps inside the coat, 3 pockets on the left side chest area,#1 is diagonal big pocket on the upper chest zippered. #2 is on the lower left it is a zippered hand pocket. #3 is a small pocket close to the zipper, it is the size of a pack of smokes, (I dont smoke but this a good Zippo pocket also) it comes with a flap and snap. #6 pocket is on the right side, it is a hand pocket. All the zippers seem well made. When it comes new it a little stiff and takes some time to break in, the more I wear it the better it feels.

I ordered a similar jacket in brown from another website and thought it was great. I paid $137 for that one. I milled it over for a week before I bought this one and figured if it was not great I could always make an art project out of it or donate it. But this jacket is much better quality, alittle thicker leather and absolutely beautiful... and about $50 less. I wish I could get it in brown for the same price. It looks much better than the pictures depict. I'm a gal that normally wears a men's L or XL, 42-44 in most things. I ordered the large and it fits like a glove (though I prefer a tad bit more relaxed). Saying that to say, if you are buff or stocky, go a size up.

I had to pay 30$ to return ship the item. Seller requires a box but shipped it to me in a plastic bag. So I bought a box and UPS told me the total cost of box and shipping was $30 I hit the roof. It’s crazy to pay $30 to try on a jacket that only sells for $100. If the seller made that clear on the description I would not have bought it. I buy from Amazon every week for years and never had this happen. Make up your own mind but know that you will pay a bundle to return it.

I used this jacket for a cosplay I was working on and i was really happy with the result. Its a warm jacket that makes it great for colder Temps. My only real drawback was the weight but that was just due to the situations I was wearing it in. I also attached a few patches to the back which was quite difficult, there is a pocket in the lining to compensate for the sewing machine but it's not a good fit fot that so I had to hand sew some and then just go through the lining for others.

So something is wrong with the structure of this jacket the shoulders are humongous and the waistline is much smaller compared to that so it literally makes you look like you are wearing a huge costume jacket on top and looks pretty nice at the bottom so it did not work for us it literally looked funny and we just did not want to keep it considering the price we paid. Otherwise it's very hard and does not adapt to the figure easily that was another reason not to keep it if it was soft and it would kind of cover your body and lay properly but because the weather is so hard it's literally hard to reshape the form
