   Size XLChest:25″Length(from neck seam to bottom) 27″Sleeve: 26″Shoulder:21″—–I’m 5’10” and about 190″-195″ lbs (43″ chest and a 41″ belly)I must say that I’m blown away by this . First of all this is real leather and see s quality.. of COURSE it’s no Schott NYC but for less than 10% of the price, who would expect that? To me, it seems very well constructed and I can’t believe that this can be sold for under $100. I can’t imagine that this is any less quality than the ones on Amazon that are selling for over $125.. it’s bonkers..I was a bit nervous before it came that I would try it on and it would look wack. Like misshapen or boxy or whatever. Like slumpy and not cool. But damn if I don’t feel like Joey Ramone in this thing. I LOVE it.! So yeah I would say true to size for a comfortable fit. a bit of room, I can fit my tight Levi’s trunker under it…. but if you want that slim fit. , go a size down 👇 . In fact. These are so cheap that I got this.. tried it on and immediately purchased an additional one in the smaller size so I could have one for the days I want that “slim fit ” look. ‘m not saying this XL doesn’t look slim as is, cuz it does. I was afraid that the factory-recommended size chart would be too big for me.. but it was doot. So yeah.. also.. someday I would like to get a real Scott Perfecto.. and this jacket is a great way to feel out your size and fit to see what you may like. Cheers!-addition after wearing for a week; again I will say that this is an amazing value. If I have to list a gripe, it would be as others have stated. That the pocket zippers are clearly not YKK or if they are they are a budget version. The only a reason why that is bad is because they skirt of scratch and are annoying When you place your hands in your pockets . I feel like a higher quality zipper wouldn’t catch the skin as much on your hands.. it’s a small thing (annoyance) and not a deal breaker but just wanted to lint that out. Again. This is an under $100 jacket so, I see how HWK had to cut costs somewhereUpdate. Loved it so much that i got a size Large also for a more fitted look. (Large is good for just t-shirt under, XL works good for allowing a sweatshirt under”-update:I ended up purchasing not 1 but 3 Shcott 626 jackets as i was curious to see what the big difference was between this HWK and a SCHOTT PERFECTO (Shcott invented this jacket about a hundred years ago). Schotts are Great. This HWK is a copy of the original 613 Motorcycle jacket that Marlon Brando wears in “The Wild One.” as well as Elvis, the Ramones, Bruce Springsteen, and many more.. It has been a constant icon in American fashion and is synonymous with young rebellion.The 626 s that i got are the lightest weight that they make as most of their line are true Motorcycle jackets crafted from VERY heavy leather with thick padding. They are meant to be worn my riders in wind and cold .In contrast.. THIS HWK is MUCH thinner than all Schotts (Keep in mind that the Schott Perfectos have NO padding and rely on their heavily built structure for protection. whereas these HWKS have the removable padding.This lighter build of the HWK could be viewed as a downside, however. I personally see it as an UPSIDE. as even the Schott Perfecto 626 and 626vn are still too heavy for warmer weather…. in mid 70 degree the schotts are just too warm!. So these HWK are GREAT for wearing in mid to high 60s and up.

   This is a great Jacket for a great price , I am 6.1 230lbs and I ordered the 3xl and it fits very well (without a sweat shirt on ) . So I ordered another jacket in the 4xl size to wear with a sweat shirt when it is cooler , they are cheap enough to do so . its still cheaper than buying 1 jacket from other companies . The jacket comes with removable pads in the arms and back , I took mine out I didn’t like the feel . It gives you a little more room also . It also came a day early so I was very happy about that . If you are thinking about buying this coat just do it before the price goes up or they sell out .

   I ordered this jacket after having a textile jacket for a while. For the price, you really can’t beat it if you want a leather jacket. The leather is pretty squeaky at first, so it’ll take a little bit to break in. However, like most jackets the sizing is small. I ordered a 3xl, which is already bigger than I normally need, and it was a pretty snug fit, I likely could have gone a size larger. It is also short, which I am sure is to compensate for riding the bike, but it is definitely shorter than any other leather jacket I have tried, so bear in mind you might want to wear a darker shirt when wearing it. Over-all it’s not a bad budget jacket if you like the look, I have other HWK products and have always been impressed by their quality.

   Comfortable and great materials used, size is perfect, the new leather smell is nostalgic and is very warm during winter months.

   I ordered a medium. The sleeves are perfect as for the length. I’m a 5’9 about 140 guy. I usually wear large shirts, so yeah the shirts are going to be way longer than the jacket. If jacket is worn open, then this is no issue to me. However I may have to wear smaller shirts when I wear the jacket. It’s as heavy as a leather jacket should be. I have a icon leather jacket and it’s about the same weight and ironically sizing for the length to the waist even though that jacket is a large, meaning that the sleeves are longer on the icon jacket than this one. Neither make a difference to me in particular. I unzipped the sleeve zippers and that made a difference in how tight it fit around my wrists, I do the same with my icon jacket. Lining is permanent, not removable. Shouldn’t be an issue, so this jacket can be great at night, early mornings and fall & winter. Had enough room to stick a hoody underneath. The jacket will need some breaking in as some of the other reviews state, and also the shoulders are boxed so that’s what the breaking in will most likely be necessary for. Warm, easy to use and comfortable. Staple piece even if you don’t ride motorcycles which I do ride. Pads are removable and will add space. Stay true to size if you wear that size shirt (best way I can describe it) and size up if your shirts are longer than your jackets. Medium stops at my waist and I’m sure a large would come down a little, only a little more. Again – true size for sleeve length and waist lengthSize up – longer sleeve length and waist length7 stars.
