Almost Perfect - But Still a Keeper

I was looking for something other than leather and not "black". While this is "vintage black" it looks a bit olive to me so I am good with that. The jacket itself is made very well. I have a 52in chest and usually wear a 2XL - I went to the store, tried on a 2XL and it was a little snug - thinking a 3XL, 55in, would do the trick, I ordered a 3XL online. It took a while to received - about 15 days from order to delivery - in fairness I did order on Jan. 1 so that could have delayed the processing. The jacket came with the armor in the box. I tried the jacket on without armor and it was a somewhat less snug fit across the shoulders than the 2XL - but workable. Being a cloth it will break-in and stretch. I put the armor in and a little snugger than I like but the reach to the bars is OK. Not quite as warm as I had hoped in would be with the quilted liner. I commute to work and in the mornings it has been mid forties and at 50-60 MPH a little chilly. Which is surprising because any other jacket that I have worn with a REISSA liner has been really warm. The jacket itself is finished really nicely - no strings hanging, smooth uniform appearance. The quilted liner has some thread hanging on some of the seams where the fabric was cut to shape and then sewed. Nothing drastic but thought it should be mentioned. The quilted liner zips in without any problem - the little tabs with snaps that hold the sleeves and body of the line in place a a pain. The loops are almost too small and take some fiddling to get the tab through and snapped. The REISSA Liner - as I mentioned, not as windproof or warm as I have experienced in the past. There are "gators" in the jacket sleeves that are a great idea but they snap closed instead of being elastic all the way around the waist. The extra snaps, the extra fabric of the jacket sleeve when you snap the sleeve closed and a large watch make the ends of the sleeves very bulky. The neck closure with a ratchet helmet strap can be a little irritating but, I don't use the neck closure - just throw on my silk scarf to keep wind out of my neck area. My biggest let down is ALL the interior pockets, jacket and liner, are too small. I can barely fit my wallet - so muck so I don't try to put anything in the interior pockets. I put my wallet in the upper left pocket - Great location because I have a key card for entry into my work parking garage- just lean towards the card reader and I am in. Like I said - little nits and picks - still a keeper.
