The jacket just arrived. Customs cleared it last night and FedEx flew it here overnight.
It looks exactly as it does in the picture. It has nice leather that feels soft and thick.
It has the normal plastic armor in it in the normal places. The zipper is smooth and easy to engage, but for some reason is backward; woman-style, with the zipper tab on the left side, rather than on the right.
... And I checked. There is no zippered pocket in the sleeve.
There is a zippered pocket inside the jacket on the left, that has nothing in it, and there is a leather-rimmed pocket inside on the right side that also has nothing in it.
Inside the sleeves there is a velcro enclosed pocket that holds the elbow armor, but nothing else.
The jacket has a non-removable, black, quilted liner that is insulated with Thinsulate.
All in all it is every bit as good as its $500 counterparts in the motorcycle shops.
I recommend it highly if you want a custom made jacket for half of the cost of an off-the-rack one from the dealer showroom, and can wait a couple of weeks to get it delivered.
