They sell fine quality stuff. The jackets are top notch, thick leather and HEAVY. I've gotten jackets. 2 leather, 2 rain type, chaps, leather pants, 3 prs boots, 1 FF helmet.

The jackets are perfect, I outgrew one (too many meatball sandwiches), the chaps are great spring and fall. The boots 2 pr were top notch, 1 pr was iffy. The helmet was inexpensive and I found I hate full face, so it sits on the shelf.

I advise you read the site product reviews regarding sizing and follow what other purchasers recommend. I did and haven't been burned yet.

Also I purchased a helmet for a friend and it didn't fit him, no problem, exchange was fast, easy and no questions asked.

I've bought their leather pants and the leather and quality was good. I tried to buy their leather overpants twice but I couldn't find ones to fit correctly. They accepted the returns with no problems. I was only out the return shipping.

I always order in threes- my size, one size down, and one size up. I always get one that fits and returns are no hassle.

I've ordered a jacket...Great buy...and a vest...returned one, got another. No problems at all. I keep their stuff, but more importantly, the way they treated me. Top notch.

heavy weight leather vented jacket with armour ( 1 for me and 1 for GF). 1 pair of lined chaps for myself. All with heavy duty zippers. No complaints whatsoever.

If you've never held, felt, and worn a top notch made in the USA leather jacket, then the leather up Pakistani stuff will seem ok. I had a 25 yr old Schott Perfecto, and ordered a Leather Up leather jacket for $hits and giggles more or less.

I gave it to a friend as a birthday gift.

There is no comparison. The Pakistani buffalo leather looks cheap laying next to a quality leather jacket.

I'm not knocking it at all, just giving my opinion. It's cheap for a reason.

I bought my first leather jacket from them, I should've gotten it one size up, but it still fits (just awkwardly short).

Was going to buy a vest from them til I found a local leather shop had American made leathers (or so it says) for just a little bit more(between $10-$20); and I was able to try it on and get the perfect size.

I'd search for a local leather shop in your area first; check out what they have and then see if its worth "guessing" on size/quality. Shop local

That depends on the brand. I bought a jacket from them made by Xelement or some such and all the comments said it runs large, so I bought a size smaller than usually, and it is still huge. I can't even wear it comfortably on super windy days, or if I'm going for long superslab runs, because it catches too much wind.

Outside of that, I've order from them 3 times and each time they had great prices and the shipping was insanely fast. The leather on the jacket is actually decent quality for the price and I like the style, it's just too big to wear comfortably, but that isn't their fault at all.

That's what I did and I've placed 5 orders in the last 3 months . . .good stuff for a good price.
Ditto. You can either overpay for name brand stuff (i.e. HD and others) or get a very good/great leather jacket for a whole lot less at leather up.

My first jacket was a leather XL (I normally wear L) so I had to have the sleeves shortened, but with the liner in the jacket and the armor installed and a long sleeve shirt on it fits great. The leather is tough as nails and the jacket is quite heavy, so it isn't one to wear around casually.

My 2nd jacket is a light colored textile which I ordered in large size because I intended to wear it without the liner on real warm days and it is perfect.
