SH1011 Men's Classic Brando Premium Leather Black Motorcycle Riders Leather Jacket w/Side Laces

The first one I bought in 5xl almost 5 years ago when I weighed about 498lbs and i loved it then, effortlessly affording me the vanity of that true land whale feel and look, got compliments all the time. like "woah is that a hairless circus cow on two legs” or " oh no orcas learned to walk and are now beginning their land invasion". The one thing I do miss is people randomly grabbing the side tassels and attempting to walk me like a Macey's day parade Balloon, but as in anything else, all good things must come to an end, I eventually lost a whopping 309lbs, "yay for me, right? “.. well yes and no although the fat is gone, skin is a little more difficult to remove, since I was well over the return period and not totally comfortable with resorting to a do-it-yourself Buffalo Bill method, then fashioning the harvested "material" into a flesh-colored version of this jacket (waste not, want not), I reluctantly opted the next logical choice also just the sight or mere thought of blood makes me gag. Correct, I decided to focus on hourly rigorous and relentless self-body shaming, even recruiting family and friends to join on self-hazing and ridicule sessions, paid of course "since nothing worth doing is free". Eventually I became comfortable with my new 5'11 187lb hairless tattoo covered sugar glider squirrel look, and only after excruciating research careful strategic financial planning aided by studying and unlocking the secrets of many ponzie business quotes, feverishly grounding my spirit and mind with copious amounts of sweet fruit flavored malt libations, careful and mature considerations lasting several seconds, with a visceral war yelp to summon out the suppressed inner rage of a thousand pugs, I asked my mom in a thunderous indecipherable mumble for permission, as she slumbered. Accepting her peaceful comatose silence as approval, I pulled the trigger ended up buying a second, master crafted jacket in a medium as prescribed by the very accurate size chart., mostly out of fear that my new full body bingo wings could catch a sudden gust of wind like loose boat sails, and inadvertently cause me injury. Before I knew it, or maybe was coherent enough, finally responding to the never-ending doorbells and knocking that seemed to go on for a week, there it was just past someone who I assumed to be an undercover delivery person that protected my package from dreaded porch pirates was for some reason rambling or talking in code about doing things or rent I don’t really know, but seemed kinda serious. anyway not a moment too soon all my problems were solved. With this ingenious purchase i was able to develop a meticulous skin muumuu tucking protocol that could only be held fast by the top notch stitching and quality hides put together in this seemingly mythical in nature production of a jacket. With tears in my eyes I can say now that know the comfort that a boneless edema bloated hand would feel in well fitting glove, perfect and just right. I am almost certain that somewhere during its creation Elvin sorcery or Dwarven craft has to be involved, since they have done an amazing job at hiding the Tengwar script, or runes that would validate my theories I cannot identify conclusively the origin of its power. I applaud and thank them for not making this item overly priced, and would recommend it to anyone in the market for an all-season jacket. Yes, I said all season, the “collective” as i refer to the ones who designed and developed this artifact, doing so only because I cannot confirm its origin, made the life force retaining dragon scale liner effortlessly REMOVABLE in the blink of a severely cataract occluded amputated eye, or even an arthritic Neanderthal born with all thumbs. In my opinion, this could be very handy for instance, should you find yourself in a precarious Fonz garb requiring situation where one may need to teleport instantly from say, battling seemingly endless hoards reanimated yellow snow creatures through an artic tundra, into the hell fires of Mount Doom, to valiantly retrieve a negligently disposed of unmentioned precious item capable of IMPOSING world peace under one glorious, slender, flight capable ruler, from the chard remains of its rightful but no longer “in need of” owner. Now I’m not saying it would be easy, but this armor “at least for me” has definitely quelled any fear of bedwetting accidents intentional or otherwise. I feel it deep in my giblets that in conjunction with some better route planning, and reliable transportation, not limited to magical, mammalian, avian, reptilian, or cryptid, but never moms car, it would be totally plausible in a solo quest, but only with this in your arsenal.

I'm a punk from the 70's and 80's and have always wanted a biker jacket like this. Back then, I couldn't afford it. Now at age 60, I felt like it was maybe too late. Regardless, I decided to order one and hope that I didn't look too ridiculous in it. I'm SO glad I bought it! It quickly became my favorite jacket and I had too many jackets before I bought it. It's heavy, comfortable, and warm. I cannot believe I got such a high-quality jacket for this price! The hardware, the leather, the stitching, the fact that it has a removable FULL lining - all of it is top quality. I'm not a handgun carrier, but the concealed carry pockets are amazingly roomy and great for today's larger phones. I get compliments on this jacket almost every time I wear it. A political canvasser commented on it as I was leaving my house and they were working our street. Multiple grocery store cashiers and other store employees have commented on it. It makes me feel cool and at 60, that's a pretty good feeling! This jacket is worth every penny and so much better quality than some of my more expensive jackets. It doesn't matter if you're a biker or just looking to up your style. If you're thinking about this for yourself or as a gift, don't hesitate. Buy it! Whoever gets it will be happy you did!!

Really nice. It fit well. I am slim, so I had to use the side lacing to tighten it a bit, but once I did that, it looked good. It is some nice leather too. You can stay warm even without the insolating layer inside. I wear it unzipped. If you plan on wearing it unzipped as well, just be aware that the belt does make a bit of noise. It's a leather jacket, though, so you expect it to make a little squeaking noise regardless. The buttons are functional. I know some jackets like these have fake buttons they have permenantly stitched, but these buttons are real. Like I said earlier, I am slim, so I don't completely fill out the jacket. If you are also slim and feeling a little brave, you can try going a size smaller than you usually would. I will say, length is perfect, so if you're taller, you should avoid going a smaller size. If you are a regular guy, you will fill this jacket perfectly, so don't even worry about it. It smells pleasant even right out of the packaging. It doesn't have that punch-you-in-the-face-new-leather smell. The inside pockets are good. Lot of space. The outside pockets would probably only fit a small pack of cigs and a lighter. If you're buying it for style, it is perfect. If you're buying it for biking, be aware there is no internal padding or extra protection. It is better than nothing, but it really is just a leather jacket and nothing else. As a greaser, this is 10/10 for me.

Great product. A very heavy jacket. Well made. Great classic motorcycle jacket.

Was in the market for a good jacket and this one had been on my mind for a bit, so I got it. It is extremely great quality and definitely real leather. I wanted to stud it and make it more punk, but I have found it difficult because of the thickness of the leather. It fits really well too. I am typically a 2x in jackets and shirts, but I had to upgrade to a 4x due to the sizing, so I strongly recommend looking at the sizing. Wears great and is good for mildly cold climates. Anything under 20 and you are going to have to layer up though. Overall it is a great jacket and I do recommend it for bigger people, just please check the measurements before purchasing!

I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about what I would receive when I ordered this jacket. I've been a collector of premium leather bound books for many years and know good quality leather when I see it, whether it be cowhide, calfskin, goatskin, lambskin, etc. I was pleasantly surprised when the jacket arrived. The leather on this jacket seems really nice. Lots of grain and character. Shiny but not overly so. Fairly thick leather likely sufficient for those of us who ride motorcycles. As other reviewers have pointed out, the construction of the jacket is spot on as well. The zippers are a good size and have a feeling that they are built to last. The stitching is clean with no lose threads and the jacket feels solid, as though it will not be falling apart anytime soon. All in all a well constructed jacket that I would highly recommend. I honestly think they could get $200+ for it if they wanted to. I'm 6' 1" and just below 200 lbs and the large fits perfectly (for my tastes) with the liner removed and a t shirt underneath. I do not like baggy clothes and prefer that my stuff fit tight. I'm trying to drop another 10 lbs or so by winter, so I think it will fit great with the liner when the cold weather hits. I did not care for the leather string on the sides so I removed it. As for motorcycle use, I went for a 30 minute ride at freeway speeds this morning and felt comfortable/warm (it was about 55 - 60 degrees) even with wind chill (and the liner out). I ride a sport bike, and the back of the jacket seemed to touch the belt area when I was riding, so no exposed skin for me. I treated the jacket with Chamberlains leather milk #3 which is a waterproofing leather conditioner. It took about 12 hours for the waterproofer to soak into the leather (after I massaged it and scrubbed it in several times with hands). This stuff works great and I would recommend you put some on your leather goods. All in all a really nice jacket at an extremely reasonable price point. I would not hesitate to purchase. Safe riding friends! Update December 2019: Still a great jacket. As other reviewers have mentioned, this jacket isn't really sufficient protection for motorcycle use. I want to make this point clear in case you are a rider and hope to use this jacket for riding. I went down at freeway speeds in my Dainese Razon leather motorcycle jacket with CE armor. That jacket helped reduce road rash to my back/sides and mitigate damage to shoulders and elbows with the armor. This Milwaukee jacket on Amazon does not have the same leather thickness or CE armor/rating as that Dainese jacket, and I would not recommend using it for riding motorcycles. I say that having narrowly escaped death riding with proper motorcycle CE gear. But it does still look bad ass and the quality has held up with time and use.

Heres what I think of this jacket.... Its awesome, reminds me of the one I has in the late 80's. Definitely a classic jacket, good quality at a superb price... cant beat it for 100 bucks. So heres what you should know.... I like my jackets a little loose and definitely not tight fitting. I usually wear an xl for that purpose... these jackets run a little small, probably one size smaller than what I'm used to wearing or what I would normally wear... I originally ordered an xl because thats what I would order in most jackets. When I got the first jacket, an xl ,I was so excited because it looked so good and was definitely of good quality. I tried it on and it was a bit snug on me. It fit, but it was too tight for my normal comfort zone, I didnt want to send it back but I did because I wanted to try the next size up... Three days later, I received my XXL jacket.. I was very skeptical because I have never worn a xxl jacket before.... I cant believe how good it looks, feels and smells... Im built a bit husky, like a spark plug..lol. I am 5'07" weighing in at appx 210-215 with my weight fluctuating in between. Perfect fit for me, even with the liner in... I am soooooo happy with it... Just for my own purposes, I removed the liner because I like to wear sweatshirts all the time .... I can still leave the liner in with a sweatshirt but then I would start to fall into the border of my uncomfort zone... Forget what all these nay sayers speak of. The jacket is great quality, should last me for years.... If you're on the edge of buying it, just pull the trigger and get it,... You won't regret it.

Update as of 09/05/2017: I have removed 2 stars due to some Quality Control issues I am experiencing with this company brand. As you can read below in my original post, I really want to love this jacket. I still do. Unfortunately, I discovered in my first jacket (later returned and upon which this review was written about) puncture marks in the upper rear panel which went all the way through the leather. Also, there were mis-marked cutting patterns drawn throughout the jacket (I was ok with this, as I did not feel this compromised the jacket in any way). The second "replacement" jacket came with mis-punched holes around the belt loop area. Holes punched all the way through, but left unstitched (this jacket was also returned). After some considerable thought, I decided that the third time could be the "charm" and so made the leap. Currently, I am holding this jacket in my hands. It also has puncture marks (different locations on the top and bottom rear panels), mis-marked cut-guide lines and a split rivet on the front belt... Which leads me to this update & star reduction... Either: 1.) Milwaukee is having some serious Quality Control issues with their manufacturing in Pakistan, or; 2.) These are simply "factory seconds" that several wholesalers bought up, and are now passing off on Amazon as "firsts." Either way, I encourage that you inspect your jackets closely for stitching, mis-drawn cut-guide lines or simply just puncture marks in the leather. I do not feel that anyone should pay "factory first" prices for a "factory second" so please protect yourselves from unscrupulous sellers. Good Luck. As of: 07/27/2017. This is my initial review of this jacket. I have ordered several jackets so far, and will be comparing it to the "NOMAD" jacket that is being listed at $69.99 + $9.99 (S&H) as of this time also on Amazon. Short review: AVOID the NOMAD. Spend a little more to get this jacket. This jacket is definitely superior to the NOMAD jacket from what I am seeing. Your money will have been well spent. You can rest easy knowing you made the right choice, instead of questioning if you should have bought the other jacket over this one. Read the long review if you want the details. Long review: I am not a muscular guy. I'm not tall, dark, or handsome by any means. I'm 5'10" around 200 pounds. None of that being muscle. I'm not "average" looking. I'm straight out pudgy fat (and ugly). My chest is around a 42-44. My waist is around 36-38. I look like a barrel, but made of jelly-lard. I'm hitting my mid-life crisis moment - so I'm purchasing leather jackets left and right. That's just me. I don't care why you're buying it, but that is why I have so many jackets coming in. That's why I'm giving you a plain review of this jacket compared to the Nomad. I wasn't too into the Milwaukee jacket at first because of the weird leather tie things on the sides. Some people might be into that. I was more into the NOMAD jacket from the photographs. However, when both jackets arrived, it was night and day. The Milwaukee jacket (the superior one) has a info-label included. It gives a little history of the jacket. There is a 2 year warranty on it (no idea how good Milwaukee will be on following through with the promise, but at least they intend for it to last that long). As long as you don't add stuff to it, or mess around with it, the jacket is covered. (I recommend that you just wear it the way you got it for two years, then personalize it with whatever you want if you're worried about the warranty). They also claim that the jacket is made from "fine full grain leather" - I got to give it to them for their honesty. Instead of saying "FINEST" they are just saying something like, "Dude, its not a SCHOTT Perfecto, but you and I both know what you paid for it. *knowing wink*" At the same time, the jacket DOES feel like full grain, and it feels GOOD. This jacket fits me. I mean, I don't want to say that it was "made for me," but... it was made for me. I don't have big bulky manly, hulk arms like every other male reviewers seem to have. I got skinny little nerd forearms. I ain't proud of them, but I ain't ashamed of them either. Hey, I was born with what I was born with, and I'm going to appreciate the heck out of having arms in the first place, right? Anyway, the sleeves are a bit tight on me... So, just a bit of a heads up for the hulks, Vin Diesels and Dwayne Johnsons out there. It probably won't matter for you, since your arms will tear through such puny leathers anyway. It will be a leather vest instead. They have little zippers to loosen up the sleeves a bit, and the material in between is fabric - unlike all the other motorcycle jackets I've come across which have been leather (and I've come across around two - so that's not saying much). This jacket also comes with a liner that can be unzipped and removed (the Nomad does not). This is where I feel the main difference of cost between the Milwaukee and Nomad jackets are most apparent. The liner does not seem like a super high quality item, but putting a remove-able liner in means sewing the zippers all around the inside of the jacket etc. which just feels tedious, but also adds a "customize-able" look to it now as it can be worn more filled-out or looser. Now, the NOMAD. The NOMAD did not come as pictured in their listing. It has three leather panels on the back instead of the two they are showing in their photos. For those of you who do not know the significance of this or if its not a big deal, get the NOMAD. Its cheaper and I'm sure you'll look great in the photos for your face-ta-gram or whatever... Nothing wrong with that. But for those of you who do know a little about it, you know that large pieces of leather are harder to come by, and therefore more expensive to get. Seams in leather create weaknesses where the jackets can tear apart etc. (you are basically creating a perforation in the leather with the stitching - like how the old stamps used to be when they were sold in sheets instead of sticker rolls) If you are a legit biker and thinking about buying this jacket so you can ride around with a quality jacket that will last you at least two years, get the MILWAUKEE. The Milwaukee has two leather panels on the back. One top and one bottom. This is significant because people who ride bikes have to put their arms on the handlebars of the bikes (stretching their backs out - I think?). The back paneling is important as it will be stretching and in-stretching lots and lots of times. It will be put under heavy stress. If you have three back panels with the top panel sewn together right down the middle, there is a chance that these two panels will simply separate after prolonged use. Anyway, I hope that made some sort of sense to the people who don't ride, as it felt complicated for me to type out. I would still recommend getting a more modern "armored" jacket for your motorcycle instead of this one, but some guys out there are simply awesome on their bikes - they don't need helmets when they are jumping over exploding cars and firing their machine guns one handed at other people on bikes. The leather for the NOMAD jacket also appears to be a thinner (not full grain) and cheaper overall in terms of manufacture. It also has a weird smell out of the bag - like some sort of synthetic leather spray smell. Yes. They really exist. So, did I think I was going to look like a bad@$$ wearing this jacket? Heck yeah. Did I actually look like a bad@$$ wearing this thing? Well, no. I just look like a middle aged, average, pudgy guy going through my mid-life crisis. I love the fit of this jacket. But I can definitely see this going on a younger, fitter, more muscular dude than me who actually rides a motor bike. Not just an electric bike with pedals. Still going to wear the heck out of this jacket though, cause it feels great! Anyway, I hope this helps. I love the Milwaukee jacket. I feel it is a high quality jacket for what you pay. It is clearly different from the Nomad jacket they are also selling on Amazon, but different people have different situations and needs. Maybe I'll buy another one to test out quality and consistency in this jacket. I purchase these items with my own hard earned pennies. If you found this review helpful, please send over some love with a thumbs up!
