Default Leather up jacket

Got my "Cruiser" style jacket from Leatherup.com today. It is a pretty nice jacket. I took it for a road test this evening and it does the job of blocking wind and the liner is warm enough that I could ride with just a tee shirt underneath(cloudy and 56). It is a little "shiny" but that should fade with time. I will try to post a couple of photos but my camera is a POS so they don't look all that good. Anyway, for $110 it ain't bad at all.

Looks to be a pretty decent jacket, but man, I need a collar on mine.

Cool, it's always good to get a review of some internet goods. Is the jacket made by leatherup or just sold on that site?

xElement makes some pretty good stuff. Not the quality of Fox Creek but better than expected for the cost. I've purchased several items through Leatherup and have always been pleased with the service and the quality of the product.

Default oh another tip

if you want to buy a number of things make sure you place the order all at the same time as the shipping is a flat rate no matter how much you buy

nice looking jacket, i have a very similar one that i bought on close-out from a leather store here. paid more than $110 for it though. I've had nothing but great service from leather up. btw, how do you get rid of the sheen? just wear it or is there and easier way?

I've had nothing but good experiences with Leather Up. I caught that same jacket on sale several months ago. It's a bargain even at $110.

By the way...do as the people that posted their comments on the Leatherup site...order a size larger than your normal size. I wear XL in about everything but I ordered XXL and I could not have worn anything smaller.
