Milwaukee LeatherMen's Plaid Flannel Biker Shirt with CE Approved Armor - Reinforced w/Aramid Fibers

I ordered a 3XL as the 2XL I had received a couple weeks ago was a little snug in the forearms (but good everywhere else.(I'm not a big guy and an XL would probably be fine but I don't like the sleeves being too snug.)Anyways the 3XL arrived during lunch so I washed my hands, cut open the box and gave the jacket an admiring glance.And despite the 38 (Celsius - 100 F) temperature I tried the jacket on.It instantly became my favourite riding jacket. The arms are a big bigger and the jacket is a bit looser which will be fine if I'm wearing more than just a t-shirt underneath it.Just realized that each of the "hidden" gun pockets actually has 2 "stretchy" loops inside - one to hold your pistol and one to hold a spare magazine.Button and zipper front closure. Snap cuffs with zippered "expansion" for thick wrists or handcuffs.Has the standard "pocket" in the upper-back (inside) where the optional "Spine Pad" can be inserted ($22 on Amazon) as well as the "tie down loop" to attach the back of the jacket to your pants (useful when riding around cold places like your ex-wife's yard).As the jacket is a little big for me (everywhere except the arms) I have to give the "armoured pads" a bit of a jiggle to get them where they should be. No big deal.Tried out one of the elbow pads on my wooden work bench. Quickly realized my elbow would break long before the bench would but the pad kept me from hurting myself.My only suggestion would be to have a "hand pocket" on each side. You know, a pocket to warm your hands in or keep spare parts, extra shotgun shells, snot-rags and court summons in.I normally wear a heavy leather "biker" jacket (with all the pockets and zippers) and it is heavy.This jacket is a little lighter but not much so I only gave it 3 stars in the "Lightweight" category.I wasn't expecting it to very light anyways.This is hilarious. I bought 2 of these and had them shipped to Thailand no problem at all.But when I look at the "back armor pad" - it says none available - until I change my mailing address to a US based address.What's even more hilarious you say ? The item description says "Made in Pakistan" but the jackets were shipped from Chicago - with a CHINESE courier company !But the look, feel and quality are all top-notch and if for some weird reason I ever need to order another jacket I wouldn't hesitate to order another one of these.In the photo I tried to show the inner (right) pocket that can be used for a phone/headphones/powerbank/whatever.You can see the snap/zipper closure on the wrist and you might be able to make out the stretchy loops from one of the "gun pockets".Which are frikken huge ! You could stick a Mac 10 in each side !Oh right - almost forgot about my now cold lunch. Oh well, that's what microwaves are made for !

5'8" 203lbs and the large fits perfectly. Its not a shirt it is a jacket, but I knew that before buying. This jacket is really nice though, After reading all the reviews I have been being very gentle with the buttons and every single one works fine. The zipper glides perfectly. The conceal carry pockets have elastic to hold ur piece, although the elastic loop is larger than most barrels. I use an O-light on my Sig so it's tight and doesn't fly around in my pocket. The material actually has a little flex to it wich is nice. Only thing that would make this the best jacket ever is if the whole jacket had dyneema or Kevlar woven into it, but this would also become a 400$ jacket or more. This is no equivalent of leathers, but for bar hopping on warm night this is amazing. I would definetely recommend to everyone sleeves are a hint longer so when reaching ur bars they don't ride up at all.

I’ve used this jacket for the last couple of months before posting a review. I ride on the average of 2 to 3 times a week.I did wait on buying this jacket due to the overall cost and the fact that I live in Florida, and the weather is generally hot and humid most of the year.The jacket is definitely of thick and quality material. It has button snaps in addition to the zipper up front. I also like that it has zippers on the wrist so you can introduce air flow into the jacket on hot days. The zippers on the under arms are worthless unless you have ape hangers or your arms or lift up.The armor on the shoulders, and the elbows are an added safety benefit, and although it does have a pocket for a back protector, you would think for the price of this item that would be included. So if you want a back protector, consider that in your purchase.A lot of the Florida back roads have a lot of flying bugs and this definitely helps when you get to the other end because your shirt you are wearing underneath is not full of bugs haha.The pew pew pockets are far from quickly accessible if that matters to you. I am satisfied with the amount of pockets because it’s way more comfortable carrying items in the jacket versus your pants pockets.I did go one size up and it ended up that that was an excellent choice in my case. If you have a long body in comparison to most, I would seriously pay attention to the measurements.Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase, but I will have to utilize another jacket in the summer in Florida, and wish this had a removable liner so I wouldn’t have to have multiple jackets/riding shirts. But again that’s due to the local weather.I would not suggest this jacket to anyone that rides in over 70° weather as I’ve tried to just button the bottom two snaps and zip it in that area overall it’s still too hot even with it open on the top and the wind blowing in.Due to the sturdiness of the material, this is probably one of those jackets that you’ll have forever but again, I think it’s definitely over priced regardless.**corrected talk to text errors **

Large fits well for me. I'm 5' 9" 190#. Not tight but couldn't fit a bulky sweat shirt under it. Perfect yesterday riding in 15 degree weather. I like the weight and seem well built. Love the style. Snap buttons ok so far, this is only concern long term. I'm really happy with purchase!

Perfect size and good material with armored safetyI recommend it
