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

Many years ago, I had to get myself a leather jacket. Pretty sure I bought it in a Mall. So, it's been a long time since then and I wanted to treat myself to a new one. This frigging jacket IS seriously HIGH QUALITY. It weighs more than one of my dogs; love that! Pockets and hiding places all over the jacket. When you pick this jacket up, you know you have a bad a$$ Leather Jacket.I don't ride anymore; too many knucklehead drivers out there. This jacket is for dealing with the climate (we live in the mountains) and we have Concealed Carry here so this jacket is perfect for that. The liner is nicer than your average jacket. It's zipped and buttoned in several places; way cool. All of the vents are new to me. My old jackets never had that; way cool. The way it was packed: Excellent heavy box, jacket was folded, on a massive hanger and well protected with plastic and heavy cardboard inserts.This is a Big Boy jacket. Serious leather riding jacket. It is worth every penny of the asking price. This will be the last jacket I ever need; I'm 59. When I was shopping on Amazon, I was drawn to this by sorting Customer Reviews. Now I'm reinforcing that concept. This is an amazing jacket and it's nice to know that you can get something of this high quality from an online Merchant!

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

Got it for husband to ride bike in the cold. It is very thick and well made and keeps him really warm. He is 5'10" and 210 and bought the XL which fits great. Really glad he didn't get the Large.

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.

Very pleased with the workmanship and quality of this jacket. It is heavy, but very well put together. With the included armor, I feel well protected from falls and road rash. I wore it throughout winter riding in Texas without the liner and it served me well. It has vent zippers and a concealed carry pocket for left and right hand users that comes in handy. Also looks good. It is a high quality jacket. I am 5’6” and weigh 175.00. The large fit me with a little room to spare to layer up. Sleeves are a tiny bit too long but are perfect on the bike. I was truly amazed by the quality of this 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.

I have worn the Harley Davidson version of this jacket since the early 90's. This jacket is a serious upgrade from that jacket. The inside pockets are HUGE, which my older one doesn't have. I love how the pockets on the front vents is closed with a zipper. My old jacket uses a long strip of Velcro to keep the pockets closed when venting, which feels a LOT less secure. And this leather is so supple, much more luxuriant. And my old jacket doesn't have options for padding (I am going to pad this new jacket UP!) I am 51 years old...6' 250lbs and I wanted a leather that will double as an outer layer for the winter months, so I ordered a size up (3XL) and I hit it out of the park with this jacket. Perfect sizing all around. Sleeves aren't too long, torso length is just the right length, roomy enough for layering, and this jacket looks amazing on me. Perfect! There are a lot of nice touches to this jacket, the angle of the sleeve cuffs protects the outer edge of my hand, almost up to the bottom pinky knuckle and the cuff zippers go up the front of my wrists and into the center of the palm, providing a LOT of protection for when I fall on my ass an reach out with my hands to break the fall. My older jacket doesn't do that. Very smart design. I love how anonymous it is. All the snaps and zippers are blank. My old jacket has Harley Davidson markings on all of that (I have never owned a Harley). This is a gorgeous, well thought out, luxuriant, attractive jacket. I am now an intelligent looking, sophisticated - man about town.

just as expected.
