First Mfg Co - Mastermind - Men's Motorcycle Biker Riding Black Leather Jacket

I was shopping for more than a year trying to decide what style of leather jacket, what manufacturer, and what size. I decided on this jacket, which is a nice combination of off-center zippers on traditional motorcycle jackets and the centered zippers of "café" styles. Also in my research I became convinced of the quality of jackets from First Mfg. over other brands. But I was not so sure about the third issue (size). Every manufacturer seems to have its own way of sizing, so it's a bit of a coin toss (if coins had ten sides). Fortunately, I trusted the chart posted for this jacket, which meant ordering the size of all my shirts and jackets—XXL—and it fits perfect! I think most buyers can trust the size chart here.The quality is there. The leather is heavy and should provide plenty of warmth and protection. The leather also feels soft enough that it doesn't need any breaking-in, though I expect it will become even softer with wear and develop a nice patina. The lining is the typical type and seems well made with quality fabric. The zip-out features are well thought out, with two snap tabs in each sleeve to hold it in place, and it zips in and out with little fuss. It provides an extra layer of warmth with very little bulk. Even the gun pockets will come in handy, though not for guns. Finally, the sleeves have the extra length for reaching the handlebars, but not ridiculously long when not riding, and the length of the coat itself is perfect, reaching just enough below my belt to give cover when sitting in the saddle.Living in western New England, this will jacket will be much appreciated on cool fall and early-spring days, as well as on those beautiful winter days when it warms up enough to ride and on my longer rides to Montréal and Maine.

This was a very well made and comfortable leather jacket very soft to the touch and just overall beautiful!

Got this for my husband for Christmas. He is a blacksmith and built like one. Broad shoulders and big arms are usually tough to fit because there's always a spot that's too tight, or he can't move comfortably. He LOVES this jacket, and it fits him perfectly! He was so happy when he tried it on and could actually move without seams screaming, lol! Very well made, and he's a huge fan of all of the pockets and vents.

I've been trying to find a replacement leather for 6 months now, this is the only one that's even close to the quality I'm used to. Very heavy, fits great (XXL size was right on with what the chart says) and even comfortable in the arms. This is NOT a casual jacket; this is a serious piece of outerwear.

Well made and somewhat supple leather. As Soon as you receive it, condition the leather and you will be Very Pleased. Lots of storage and feels like it's going to last for a years or at least until I expire.

Love it

I bought this to replace the exact same jacket I bought 12 years or so ago. The reason for the replacement is no fault of the jacket. I just outgrew it. Hope this one lasts just as long.

Great Leather jacket!! I bought this jacket for my husband for his birthday. It was a little small when he tried it on, so I sent it back for an exchange. Great customer service and a fast replacement! My husband loves this coat! Great quality! Great price! Great service!! Thank you!!!
