I was just wondering if anyone has gotten a jacket from this place and do they have quality stuff. I just find it hard to believe that you can get a nice leather jacket for under a hundred bucks.

I would worry about the leather being a real thin cut. Thick leather costs money!

Ask them what ml the cut is? For example, I run 1.5 on my suit

i gave them a try:


http://www.leatherup.com/p/Motorcycl...esh/42503.html

its perfect for warm weather riding. the inner arm panels are several layers of mesh making it almost padded. has zipper vents on front and rear. and a removable 3/4 sleeve liner for cooler weather.

used it without the liner all weekend in temps from 75 to 95 and it was very comfortable.
used the liner this morning in 70 degree temps and it was still very comfortable with plenty of ventilation. the mesh is a little scratching when you first put it on and are just standing around in it. but once moving you don't notice it and the mesh seems to have softened up a bit since then.

i due to all the ventilation i don't think it will be very comfortable bellow about 65, but its great for hot weather.
