FLAVORMen Brown Leather Motorcycle Jacket with Removable Hood

READ BEFORE BUYING if you're hesitant on sizing!
***For whatever reason Amazon jumbled up the photos I uploaded so sorry in advance 😂.This review is a long one, so buckle up. It covers the quality & specs of the jacket in addition to the sizing recommendations from both my husband (5'8, 180 pounds, 40 inch chest) AND his best friend (6'7, 300 pounds on the money and a chest measurement of 49 inches). So if you want to read about any of the above mentioned topics, you're welcome to read the whole review or simply scroll down to the designated section. Now, sit back and enjoy the review :).HUSBAND SIZING:This jacket is amazing! I purchased it for my husband and he is obsessed. He is 5'8 and weighs between 180 pounds. He usually wears a size large because of his shoulders and the fact that he has a longer torso and isn't a fan of shirts riding up. However, I really wanted this to fit him properly (because it is a "slim" fit jacket) so I measured his chest at the widest part and he measured 40 inches exactly. Based off their sizing chart, a body chest size of 39"-41" recommends purchasing a medium so I did and it fit him great (in my opinion 😂). I was so worried about it being too tight on his shoulders or too short but it looks perfect on him. I could not recommend their sizing chart more!! Measure your chest at the widest point and go with their recommended sizing guide.***Just a few updates on sizing if it helps someone else out! Although the jacket did LOOK like the fit was great it ended up being too tight on his shoulders, chest and stomach when he tried to actually function in it. This jacket is a slim fit jacket by definition so if you are on the high end of the recommended measurements OR prefer your jackets to be a little looser fitting (which my husband does) we would definitely recommend sizing up one size. Because of this, we exchanged his medium for a large and he could not be happier!QUALITY & SPECS:Honestly, I was slightly hesitant about this jacket because my husband doesn't like clothes that look too trendy and I also didn't know if the jacket would be a cheap replica of the photos shown in the ad or not (we've received some comically terrible fakes before 😂). However, I can assure you that the jacket in the ad is the EXACT jacket you will receive and the jacket itself is amazing quality! The jacket really is a BEAUTIFUL suede like genuine leather and my husband said it's one of the most comfortable jackets he's ever owned. You have the option to remove the hood to personalize it for your needs that day (it just zips right off!) and looks great both ways (although my husband does prefer with the hood attached). There are so many pockets on the jacket and they are all fully functional! He loves the interior pockets for keeping his possessions safe when he is on his motorcycle. The jacket also has ribbed arm cuffs for the perfect fit and is even wind resistant and keeps him cozy warm while he is riding. Keep in mind that this jacket is a thin leather, so wear it riding at your own discrepancy. This jacket is exceptional quality overall and we are very impressed.BEST FRIEND SIZING:After seeing how awesome this jacket was, my husband's best friend decided to buy it in black. Again, he is 6'7 tall, 300 pounds and has a chest measuring in at 49.5 inches. (48.0 inches relaxed, 50.0 inches when standing straight up and chest out). Based off the recommended sizing chart he fell perfectly within the lines of a 2XL and being the height that he is, decided to buy a 2XL TALL. The jacket he received is the same exact awesome quality we anticipated, so I'll save you that spiel. HOWEVER, the fit of the jacket was too tight for him and even in the 2XL TALL sizing, the bottom of the gray jacket was roughly 4-5 inches above the bottom of the leather jacket. The jacket did fit him in the sense that it did zip no problem (you can see him standing in our garage in the black jacket in one of my numerous photos in the 2XL TALL sized jacket). The problem was that it was too tight in his shoulders and the length of the jacket, particularly of the hooded under portion. When he moved, flexed, took a deep breath of air or had any regular movement the jacket was too tight on him. He told me it fit like a "baby Gap" jacket on him 😂. After really diving into the "big and tall" sizing chart we decided to exchange it for a 3XL (the options were awkwardly a "3XL" or a "XXXL" so based on the color he wanted we opted for the "3XL" since there was no tall option to choose from). After receiving the 3XL he told me that it did fit much better but unfortunately the shoulders were still a little too tight and the shortness of the jacket really bothered him (keep in mind this guy is 6'7) so he would also recommend sizing up!CONCLUSION:Overall, this jacket is one of the most impressive purchases we've ever made on Amazon and we highly recommend it, you will not be disappointed! The sizing chart is impressively legit, but keep in mind that this is a slim fit jacket so if you want a looser fit or find yourself on the high end of the sizing chart, do yourself a favor and size up one :). Hope this proves helpful for others looking at this jacket! It really is amazing.

Great
Good jacket where you’ll probably need to go a size up or two to have a good fit. The material is alright and there will be some wear after a while. Overall good.

Love this thing!
Excellent jacket. Runs a bit tight. But even after a few years of wearing it, there's only one small hole that I easily patched.

The FLAVOR jacket
I’m 72 years old and I gotta tell’ya, I mean I don’t Gotta tell’ya but, I gotta tell’ya I LOVE THIS JACKET, out of all the jackets I’ve ever owned, this is like the BEST jacket I have ever EVER owned. I get compliments on this jacket all the time, in fact the first compliment I got was from a nurse who loved the smell of the real leather it is made from, one of the things I first appreciated about it. The other was the fit. It felt so good like a glove made just for me. it’s called (FLAVOR) Video review to follow).

Surprisingly nice for the price!
I took a gamble on buying a jacket online but was tired of searching Goodwill and finding nothing. I found the fit guide to be pretty useful and, turns out, accurate. However I was a bit apprehensive at the price-to-quality ratio of this as it looked really nice but was still pretty cheap ($150 on sale at the time).I am 6' 2" and 270lbs and all around a thicker guy so I got the 2XL Tall which is usually the size I prefer in t-shirts and hoodies.It fits a bit tight around the chest, as in I have limited movement in lifting my arms above my chest. Also the sleeves are a little long and not tight enough around the wrists (A medium glove fits tightly on me). When riding the wind will open the cuffs slightly and let a bit of wind in.That being said, the coat is so well made and good looking that it's worth those shortcomings. It looks just as good in person as it does in the pictures. I love how it feels and it fits so well everywhere else that I just feel good wearing it. It is easily my favorite coat now and I look forward to wearing it. I plan to do something about tightening the wrist cuffs somehow as that is my only real complaint. The tight chest area seems to be breaking in a bit after more use. I would buy this again and I would pay more for it if I had to.It is REAL pig skin. The smell doesn't lie. I love it but you will notice it when it's in the room with you. This will go away some with time of course.

The smell
First the good, then the bad, I love the look, feel and style of this jacket, and the fit is perfect. The color match to the hood is perfect and appears to be really well made. Now the bad….Whats that smell??!! Before anyone starts the “ it’s leather, it smells like leather” let me say, I own several leather garments ranging from gloves to bomber jackets, to trench coats to motorcycle racing leathers. I know how leather smells, and this thing don’t smell like leather! In a nutshell it stinks! I unpacked it and the smell hit me immediately, it smells like a chemical skunk! I figured I would just air it out for a few days and it would be fine. No way, it’s been on a coat hanger hanging in the garage for 4 weeks now, and the entire garage stinks of this jacket! What did they dye, or treat this garment with that smells so bad? I would have given this jacket five stars but man, that smell!New update on this jacket, and it’s good news! As stated I really like this jacket, but the smell when unpacking it just blew me over. However, I am pleased to say that there is a cure for that smell. I hung the jacket on a hanger in my garage, and finally after nearly six weeks it finally smells normal. The chemical skunk has moved on to other pastures and good luck to him. Buy this jacket, it’s worth every penny, just have patience, the smell will go with time.
