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

I did a lot of research and tried on a few leather motorcycle jackets. This was the best one. Pros: - The leather feels soft and supple, easy to move around in, but thick and durable at the same time. - Flexible and very easy to move around in. - Versatile with a lot of pockets in different spots. - Smells amazing. - Great air flow with the vents open - High quality and thick zipper, especially the wide main zipper. Love this. - Form fits well. Cons: - Would have rather inside pockets than two conceal carry slots. Who actually needs both? This isn’t sons of anarchy.

Super comfy. I ordered a medium, which is the size I usually wear in jackets and shirts. It's a bit long with my arms down, but barely raises above my wrists while riding, so it's fine. The armor pockets in the forearms and back are your standard CE pockets, but the shoulders take circular pads, not the oval shaped ones. Even without the pads, this jacket is fairly heavy, but it's not unbearable. The thermal layer actually goes down the length of the sleeves and buttons from the inside, and is nice and toasty. The mesh lining lets your torso breathe enough to get the sweat off abs the back vents let in a bit of air, but with no front vents it can get stuffy in a hurry with it zipped all the way up. Overall I am very satisfied with this jacket, it's well worth the price tag.

I really like this jacket. Heavy duty, great quality. Reading other reviews, I feel the need to point out a couple things. This jacket is meant to fit you while you are in riding position, not while you are standing. So, while you are standing, the sleeves will be a bit long. So, while you are riding with your arms up and grabbing the handle bars, it fits. The jacket has vented back slits and vented chest pockets. It also has a zip out lining meant to keep you warm, along with zippers to tighten the sleeves around your forearm to keep wind out. If you just unzip the back vents, they won't help to cool you off. You have to take out the lining (the thing meant to keep you warm), you have to unzip the front vent pockets and the sleeves in order to let air IN, so it can take the hot air OUT the back vents...

I ordered this jacket, i wast sure on the sizing i did all the measurements they have and the jacket came in and fits perfectly, the leather is real leather, not like what you get at the department stores, or alot of the cheap "motorcycle" jackets it is soft leather aswell. And did not have the strong leather odor some jackets have. Very comfortable, seem well built especially for the price. Very happy with this jacket i would definitely recommend first mfg to anyone looking for a new riding jacket.

I wear a 46R suit coat (I know, "Sunday go-to-meeting" clothes are a bit passé), and this XL Commuter fits me perfectly. I'm 5'9", about 210lbs with a bit of a paunch. It was a little heavier than I expected, but it is my first leather motorcycle jacket. Once the zip-in lining is removed you can add the optional armor pieces into the Velcro closure pockets already installed in the Kevlar mesh lining. Easiest to pull the arms inside out to install the shoulder and elbow pads. Once they are in, you can't even tell they are there. The arms seemed a bit long, but once I held my arms out to grab the handlebars, I understood why you need a little more length to keep your wrists covered. All around a really nice 'weathered retro-look' motorcycle jacket. Very pleased.

I'm not one for black jackets but this is pretty dark for a brown jacket. I was kind of expecting that anyway from reading other reviews, but still looks really good. The pockets are great, especially the inside pockets being big enough to put a phone and a wallet in there without feel like you're trying to parallel park your belongings. It is quite a bit bit heavier than what I am used to but then again makes it perfect for colder climates where I am at. I can wear a simple long sleeve shirt under this jacket while riding in the low 30s at highway speed. I bought the medium, it is still a tad large with me being 6ft tall and 160-170lbs. But fills up fairly well with the liner and armor. With that being said, the armor pockets are really small. I had to trim down the armor I had to make them fit. The zippers on the pocket could use some tassels to make them easier to use especially with gloves on. And to get a better fit out of the jacket, I ended up getting some eyelets at Walmart and punched a fourth eyelet into the side buckles. That tightened up the jacket almost perfectly to my body.

Super impressed by the quality of this jacket. Soft and thick. Didn't purchase the armor and thats fine. Great purchase.

Very nice classy jacket. Has spots for back, elbow and shoulder armour. I am using CE level 1 armour, Harley branded flat armour, fits great in the shoulder and elbows. The back I am using is from Rev'it. I am 5'10" 240lbs, chest is 49, waist is 42. I got 2xl and it fits a little tight in the shoulder with the jacket liner and armour installed. Not enough to hinder movement or make the jacket uncomfortable. Otherwise the Jacket fits very well. The leather is super soft and feels great. It does a great job of blocking the wind. I use it for a short 20 minute commute, and the jacket w/liner is good alone down to 30F. I really like that it does not have a neck closure snap, those really annoy me. The sleeve openings are good and fit well. Just enough room for gloves to tuck under them, and if you wear gauntlet gloves they should fit over the sleeves. The inner pockets (both sides) are huge, will fit many items. this jacket has small airflow vents, seriously doubt these will do any good once it gets warm. I got this jacket for cold weather and it works great for it.

Una charra super comoda y con una excelente calidad, ajusta perfecto, en la moto es ligera y con buen aislamiento, cuenta con varias bolsas interiores y exteriores además de forro para frío, sin duda mi marca favorita por su buen balance entre precio y calidad

Received the jacket today. Really nice , well made with good size pockets. I ordered a Large , hesitating to go Medium. I am 5’10” and 175 lbs with wide shoulders. The jacket is a bit loose on me but that fine , I can wear an extra lining , I like to ride in cold weather. The sleeves are long but it is a riding jacket that covers up over the wrist, perfect on the bike. The quality is outstanding for the price. I wanted to order a Harley jacket which would have cost me 35% more. I am glade I didn’t.
