Xelement B4495 'Bandit' Men's Black Buffalo Leather Cruiser Motorcycle Jacket with X-Armor Protection

I bought this jacket off of the sizing chart and did not size up at all. Those who said to size up all seemed to be the jacket sizes greater than large. Some admit that it’s only because of their beer gut. I went off the size chart more or less and it worked out for me, I was worried that a medium would be too long in the arms and chest. The leather is definetly high quality, the construction is great from what I can’t tell and the features are great. The gun compartment is really nice and works well. Same with the side pockets for wallets and keys etc. the jacket is stiff but seems to be breaking in well from rolling up into a ball. The armor is nice and heavy duty, much nicer than my previous jacket. The jacket is stylish and can be worn out not just on the bike which is a plus. The leather smell like leather and oil heavily but it’ll fade. The jacket is also not overly hot when the insulation is taken out. I’d also agree that this jacket for the quality can be sold for double the price it is. The zippers are all YKK where it matters not sure about the small ones you won’t ever use. Probably not but doesn’t bother me. The leather seems to be top grain I can see imperfections and also they say in the little pack of papers that they leave the imperfections. Either way it’s not synthetic. It’s quality leather. Supple you’re the touch but rugged too. I’m going to buy black leather zipper pulls to put on the most used zippers they also won’t scratch the bike.

I bought this for my husband since he started riding a motorcycle again. At first he didn’t think he needed it, but I convinced him. He was actually excited to get the jacket! I have NEVER seen him excited about any clothing, but when he got this jacket, he suddenly stood taller and had this little kid grin on his face. He wears it everywhere, on and off his bike. It looks so good on him. It keeps him warm when he rides, and hopefully it will protect him also.He normally wears a 2-3xl in Shirt size, but for the jacket, we got him the 5xl and it fits nicely. A little loose, but he likes it that way.This is a really nice jacket for how much it costs. I highly recommend it.

Nice looking well built heavy duty motorcycle jacket, and it is heavy. I normally wear 2 XL after reading reviews and reviewing the sizing chart, I ordered a 4 XL way too big for my build ( 5" - 11" tall 260 lbs with 52" chest 40" waist ). I replaced it with a 3 XL, still to big. I replaced it with 2 XL finally Just right! I not sure if the size chart was updated, but it turns out it was right on for me. The front hand pockets are really shallow, but are usable without gloves. I was able to return the jackets for free with Amazon Prime. I would definitely recommend the jacket for the money, I haven't seen anything close to this quality in the price range. Safe Travels

good quality but WAY to Small! I received the 4xl and my old 1xl was bigger.Normally I wear 2-3xl but went for the 4xl for extra comfort for a hoodie underneath, but wow they are small! I couldn't even zipper it! Free shipping is great but when it cost $30 bucks to send it back... that sucks, I recommend thinking it over before ya buy.

Nice heavy jacket. With armor. Really enjoy it.

Great jacket, made well, nice leather, but seems to be made for people with tiny bodies and long arms...pockets are also half the normal size... If you have a tiny body and long arms you should, not walk, run out an grab one of these quick fast. I got an XL and it fit my friend who is 5'8" 175 with a somewhat muscular build just about right and he has long arms. I am 6' 250 pounds and the 3X wasn't even close...The seller and the size chart needs to be revamped to include the actual size of the jackets. In my experience you should figure to add at LEAST 2 sizes to whatever you normally wear and then go on a diet. Take that for what it's worth. It might also help to stretch your arms if possible. If you are carrying around an extra few pounds or are just a big guy I would seriously consider something else or going on a diet first. Skinny guys grab one of these!If you really want to try this jacket and you are a big guy it's much safer to go MUCH larger like 3 sizes larger and then work backwards if needed. If you are a really big guy like over 6'2" and heavy or big like over 280+ I would look elsewhere, these jackets are (mainly) for small or skinny guys (with long arms)...

Zipper set up very strange. Inside pockets will hold a file 8”x11” but not a gun. Pockets are too deep to retrieve what you put in and outside vest pockets make you unzip twice usin 2 different zippers one on top of the other. Pockets on outside are very hard to get your hands in. Openings are small.

After reading all of the size info I ordered true to the size chart (medium) and was not disappointed. The coat came just in time for all of the Chicago snow. My upper body doesn't even know it's winter while my legs, feet, hands, and head all turn into Popsicles. I did have to remove the pads to be able to bend my elbows but I can always put them back in if needed. This coat is a great value compared to what I would've paid at a storefront.
