First Mfg Co - Raider - Men's Motorcycle Biker Riding Leather Jacket

Very nice riding jacket! Love the color and the quality of the leather! This jacket has lots of pockets including two (one on each side) for concealed carry. I wanted a jacket that would protect me on the bike and also look good when I am off the bike. This jacket meets my requirements as I love the looks and the leather would provide good protection against road rash. This jacket does not have any CE armor so it’s protection is limited to the strength of the leather, which works for me as the jacket is made for motorcycle enthusiasts and has the features I was looking for. The jacket comes with a zip out liner which is a good thing as this jacket is best for warm to cool riding (not hot or cold) as it has zippered vents front and back (limited effect as the vents are small). The jacket fits good as I ordered a large (I am 6’ and 185lb) but the one complaint I would have is that in the riding position the sleeves are about an inch short for me. I have a 36” arm length so not unusual, and being motorcycle specific I am surprised this is even an issue. I like the jacket enough that I will overlook that issue and just wear gauntlet type gloves if I want to cover all of exposed skin at the wrist while riding. Looks good on and off the bike!

Great jacket. I’m 6’1” and 225 lbs, wear size 38 jeans and 46 Long suit. The XL fits perfectly even around my beer gut. At first it was a bit snug around my hips but after break-in time it fits great. Sleeve length is okay when stretched out on the bike. Liner is a bit thin so I will wear the thermal liner from my military field jacket on cooler days. I’m not sure if I could get a thick hoodie on under this and get it zipped all the way up. There’s a ton of storage in this jacket. I can carry riding gloves on one side of my chest and an extra pair of glasses on the other side without a huge bulge in the profile. Not to mention that I have my cell phone, wallet and smokes stashed away too. The leather is soft and thick but not stiff like you would expect in a brand new jacket. For the price you really can’t find a better deal. In my opinion this is equal quality and warmth of a Harley jacket for 1/3 the price. Fast shipping and packaged flat instead of folded up or rolled. 10/10 would recommend.

So far I like the jacket. Haven’t ridden with it much in the summer months.I do like the vents and pockets for CHL holders.

I just got this jacket so I'm not reviewing how well it holds up. I am reviewing its out of the box fit as well as its break in fit. I wear an extra large in everything. XL always fits me perfectly. This jacket fits me perfectly. Yes, a brand new leather jacket with a lining is going to feel a bit snug to begin with, especially if you try and wear a flannel or a hoodie too. But that's new. This leather relaxes pretty quickly and starts to feel much more comfortable. Leather jackets (and vests) stretch over time from use, and wearing layers, and wind, and putting things in the pockets, and and and.If you wear different sizes in different shirts and coats I have no advice for you. If you always wear a particular size like me, get that one. If you're heavy, you might look at a different style. This one is definitely a rather athletic cutThe leather is soft and supple right out of the box, and smells exactly like a leather jacket smells when new.My only gripe so far is that there are TOO MANY POCKETS. I can't find things. I can't even feel some of them. The chest pockets (3 stacked) go pretty deep and it's a long reach if you drop something small in them. Don't forget which one you put your keys in. It'll be 15 minutes before you find them. I'm still discovering new pockets I didn't know were there. I'm half joking but seriously, I think they could drop the number of pockets by half and you'd still have too many.

Exactly what I wanted in a leather jacket for Fall/Winter/Spring riding in Michigan.It’s heavyweight, sturdy, comfy, fits on top of a couple layers (the sizes run slightly small, so I got an XL), and utterly warm and weatherproof at 70mph in a very cold rain.And I kid you not, it’s pockets are crazy capacious enough for two sawed-offs and two 45s. Not that I would carry that before an apocalypse.I wish the collar was slightly taller and sturdier. Otherwise it’s perfect for me.

after receiving the same size jacket again I returned it . Still waiting for my refund . These jackets are extremely under sized . The quality is great but sizing is far from accurate . The first jacket was returned and refund was prompt . The second jacket was to be one size bigger however the same size was sent again . I am hoping that the refund is in my account soon .

Good quality leather. very useful pocket designs. I am a very critical reviewer in a day and age when either quality stinks because it is just cheap crap and even if you are willing to spend the money on quality you often don't get it or it's just poorly designed making it not functional. This jacket feels heavy with good quality. All the zippers function well and it is very warm ( I live in the midwest it is zero degrees today). The pocket design is smart and the jacket looks good. As a minimal critique with all the pockets it can be like a woman digging in a giant purse to find things but if you want a lot of pockets you should expect it. I would give it 6 STARS if If I could!

I ride a Harley EVERY SINGLE DAY, rain, shine, or snow. My discontinued leather jacket was stolen from me one day while I was at work, therefore I was in the market for a replacement, but I had very high expectations. This jacket did not disappoint. To be honest I was very surprised with the quality, and also the design, it is designed with the rider in mind, and not the “look” only. This jacket is very warm, it fits well, and looks great. I was surprised at the fact that the leather thickness was true to the description, and also the liner is one of the best that I have seen. If you are a rider, and you need a jacket to keep you warm and protected for the god forbid, this is the jacket. I would 100% buy again especially for the price.
