Two years back I also ordered their 'Classic' motorcycle jacket (they fit tight so consider one size larger), gloves, boots, etc. - all fit well and quality is good. With their discount coupons you can't go wrong.

I am very happy with the jacket I got from leatherup.com
Here's the one I got: http://leatherup.com/p/Mens-Motorcyc...mor/53282.html
Forget the reviews that constantly say you need to go up a size. I think some people are in denial about how big their guts have expanded to, and are claiming the size charts are off. I was fitted for a suit right before I ordered my jacket and used the suit measurements on the size chart on the website and the jacket fits perfect.

Bought the Speedster jacket with the zip out liner two years ago. It's a good heavy leather but the liner is pretty worthless. The cuff zipper broke this year but for 75 bucks I won't bitch. Bought the brand of chaps they sell off an indie and the buckle broke. They replaced it no problem. Bought two pr. of boots, the supremacy and the steel toe engineer. Never had longer wearing or more comfortable boots. Overall I give them a thumbs up. But I'm still saving for that Vanson, Schott or Fox Creek jacket and chaps.

I just bought the exact jacket you did in preparation for the upcoming winter months since I didn't have a leather jacket (A Harley rider without a leather jacket? WTF??). If you'll PM me with an e-mail address to send 'em too, I've got some good, real world shots of it I can send ya.
It's almost identical in looks and function to Fox Creek Leather's Classic II jacket, although I suspect there will be differences such as maybe leather thickness, stitching detail, quality of lining, etc. And that's the jacket that I was originally gunning for before running into LeatherUp. But I'm still not taking anything away from LeatherUp's jacket. It's a good jacket, espeically for the price.
Cheers!

[ed. "But I'm still saving for that Vanson, Schott or Fox Creek jacket and chaps". I gotta admit, so am I. I've got my eye on FCL's braided chaps and the braided buffalo nickel vest as well, and I just bought a pair of their elk skin gloves. I'm definitely a Fox Creek fan.]

Two leather jackets, two outlaw helmets, pair of boots and a pair of leather chaps and will continue to order from them when I need stuff. And I just started riding in July and my wife thinks I'm nuts having to buy all this stuff after just buying a bike and all... I keep telling here it's never ending kinda like her "purse obsession"!

Jacket came in over the weekend. It's a very nice one for the money. Heavy, it weighs 7lbs. Although it needs to be broken in as any new leather jacket will, it's still pretty soft out of the box. I like the deep brown color, distressed to look like an older, worn jacket.

I also got the matching chaps. They're nice and match the jacket perfectly. Same color and distressed leather look. They weigh in at 4lbs and are ready to be trimmed / hemmed.
I like the antique brass zippers and snaps on both the jacket and chaps. All in all, not a bad deal for new leathers...less than $200 for both shipped.
