| 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. |

| 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. |

| Scott from FAIRVIEW, TX |
| 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. |

| Truc A. from Seattle, WA |
| 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. |

| 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! |

| 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. |

| 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! |

| david from SUNNYVALE, CA |
| 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. |

| 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! |

| 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. |

| 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... |

| 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. |

| Best quality and for a fourth the cost of having "harley davidson" written on it. Because of the padding this coat does run a little smaller then normal. Wonderful jacket though. |

| 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! |

| 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. |
