Default Harley Davidson Destroyer jacket

I have fought the "cool" morning weather lately and decided to purchase a proper motorcycle jacket so that I can continue to ride everday that it is dry. I got my Harley Davidson mini-catalogue day before yesterday in the mail and liked the look of the new Destroyer jacket http://motorclothes.harley-davidson....uct/97320-11VM. It is Olive drab & black with orange stitching, a Harley logo on the back yoke & front left, elbow & shoulder pads, a zip-out liner, vents, 3 front pockets, side & sleeve adjusters.

I stand 6' 1" and weigh around 275 with a pooch in the front. I bought the 3X ($285) which fits a little big in the stomach, but fits pretty good in the shoulders. I tightened up the side adjusters to bring the waist in some.

Great looking jacket GM, does the size run true? I also need a good cold weather jacket and my dealer gives 15% off so I might have to look into getting one.

Thanks,

Jack

It feels like it does, I got into the 2X, but bought the 3X for a better fit in the shoulders.

A - Because I liked it.

B- Are you really telling me that you have nothing made in China?

I wouldn't wear one, but I figure if it's cold enough for a jacket, it's cold enough for a LEATHER jacket. Then again, I figure half the reason to own a motorcycle is so you can own cool leather jackets.
