I was super impressed by the leather jacket I bought form this brand, great quality, heavy (7lb), great workmanship, if I were to see it in a store I'd guess two or three times the price.It's getting warm, so the leather jacket will mostly spend time in the closet, poked around for something else and found this. Of course, I love anything with skulls, but besides that, this is really good quality again. Great leather, great workmanship, very comfortable. With both I had to go up one size, I'd suggest you do too. The hoody is a bit short on the body, so if you're a bit more round there, maybe go up two sizes, I plan to make it "longer" by getting lighter over the summer but at xxl it is not too short for me.Pockets are generous in size, I'd rather not have zippers on the hand pockets, I'll never close those, but I also don't ride bikes anymore, if you do the zipper will keep things safe. The two giant gun pockets are hilarious, I see no purpose in walking around with guns on me, but if it's that dangerous where you live and you can't move, they're there. I'll store other things in there. Books, lunch, maybe a playstation or extra pair of shoes ;-pThe hoody is attached with little loop and push button things, once I remove it to wash I doubt I'll ever attach it again and of course you can wear what ever you want under the vest and if you like, have little loops attached to that to secure it.An other top quality Milwaukee Leather product, I found a hand signed little card in one pocket, written in what I guess is Pakistani writing, probably the inspection tag, I'm keeping that in my "gun" pocket for fun. Some skilled workers in Pakistan made this for me and I thank them.Next I'm gonna check out some of their boots, but with (hot) summer coming here I'll probably wait until fall for that.Oh, the skull patches are somewhat reflective, but not really what I'd call alert/safety reflective, if you want that add your own patches or so. Personally I'm very happy with their look, if they were more high reflective I'd probably not keep this. But I don't ride anymore. Just something to keep in mind if you're looking for that extra safety thing at night.And the inside "media pocket" must have been designed for the first iPod, there's no way I can get my iPhone 12 in there, too narrow and tiny. Not an issue for me, but something to know if you plan to put anything in there.Also the back of the liner is orange and you see that through the sleeve openings (see the photos), doesn't bother me, I love orange, if you don't.... Not sure why it's orange inside, maybe so you can reverse it and use as a kind of emergency vest when fixing something on the side of the road?
