Milwaukee LeatherMPM1620 Men's Black Flannel Biker Shirt with CE Approved Armor - Reinforced w/Aramid Fibers - 2X-Large

Received yesterday, timely as expected, so impression is "out-the-box" will update later.So far seems like an excellent value.I'm 6' 1"/ 185cm, 178lbs/80kg, slim athletic build. Got the Medium. Fits slightly loose and the sleeves are slightly longer than I'd absolutly love. I would try on the small as I usually wear slim fit, but I'm not dissatisfied with the Medium- there's space for thicker torso armour and/or layer clothing.There is a pocket for back armor but does not come with back armor provided (as I expected). The concealed pockets are deep and reinforced with a bit of faux leather. The "headphone" pockets are a bit thin and frail so probably would avoid heavy valuables.The shoulder and elbow armors are medium hard. Fit well and seem secure.The demin material is high quality, thick enough in the right places, so I think it will be sufficient in a low to medium speed, low side. It is a bit warm for 18c + temperatures but fall will be nice (not rain proof at all).Overall so far, 4.5/5 only losing for the not 100% fit I'm use to and a little warmer than I hoped for, but my impression may change over time and use.

Seems like a quality built item - comfortable and durable, feels great when I am out riding. Doesn't feel too warm in the sun but still provides good wind protection.This is jacket to be sure though - The pics make it look pretty slim fitting and thinner but it's bulkier than the pics indicate. That being said I still like it a lot.I am 5'10" & 190 lbs w/athletic build and bought a Large - pretty good fit overall, maybe just a tiny bit big. Sleeves were a touch long for me and my t-rex arms so I put it in the dryer after I washed it and the sleeves shrunk up maybe an inch to make it a perfect length.

Denim is thinner and lighter than the Grey one I also have. This is a relief as I have leathers for cool day and this was more for summer rides. Colouring looks awesome, just as good as pics. Material is also stretchy. Much like stretch jeans, which adds flex and allows movement. Zipper feels solid. Buttons not so much, bit on light side. Not really required so will see. Fit is good, I'm a med, got lrg for room with a hoodie. Tighter with hoodie, but stretches so works well. Armour is fleible and not bulky. Kevlar patches are pretty small and only covers same as Armour, shoulders and elbows. No back Kevlar or armour, but can add armour. Over all totally happy with construction, size and look.

I see a lot of quality/fit and finish complaints in the reviews. The materials used all seem to be of a decent enough quality. Where I find things are lacking is in the over-all construction. On mine, one of the sleeves was cut off-bias and it twists almost a half turn at the wrist. This is a manufacturing issue, as are the missing fasteners and many other things I've seen reported. I expect the job was sub-contracted out one too many times and they ended up being manufactured *not* by who Milwaukee ordered them from. That is standard practice in the rag trade in South East Asia. Milwaukee can and should address this.I'm not unhappy with the jacket, but I'm not happy either.

I was shopping for a Motorcycle Jacket. I find myself buying something new every 2 years or so. I wanted something that was more stylish than the high visibility mesh jackets I've normally used during hot summers. I picked this Milwaukee Shirt Jacket for just about as much as I wanted to pay for it. It arrived quickly thanks to PRIME. I'm 5'10, 190lbs, stocky build. I found the Large fit me well around the chest and stomach area. The arms were good, but a little loose around the forearm area. The hardware is solid and the buttons click close with authority. I love the faded denim and the added shoulder and elbow protection is a nice bonus. Wearing this in the sweltering heat is not uncomfortable. I found myself surprisingly cool and paired with some jeans or cargo pants this makes for a great look. I'll be rocking this all Summer and easily into Fall.
