Do not get size based on height and weight alone
Let me start off by saying that this is a really nice jacket. The outer material is very soft for faux leather and the overall craftsmanship is very good. I do have a bit of a problem with the sizing however.Here's a bit of background for perspective. I'm 5 foot 11 inches tall, weight 180 pounds, have a short torso, long legs, and a 34 inch waist, all on what is considered to be a small to medium body frame. In other words, I'm fairly compact for my height and weight. This jacket in size large is way too big on me, though it fits most people of comparable height and weight just fine. For example, I have another coat that I typically layer a hoodie or sweater under, though it still fits well on its own. It is an American size small. This jacket can be worn over that coat and the layer under it while still allowing me to move effectively. The shoulders are too big causing the arms to hang lower and appear too long. The stretch band around the bottom of the jacket makes it want to sit at my waist, and combined with my short torso, causes the material in the midsection of the jacket to bunch up and puff out the back. Suffice it to say, this does not have the most "fitted" look on me.That being said, I have decided not to return the jacket. It fits great with layers under it, so I'm just going to use this one as an overcoat. I am going to get a second one in size small, and update this review accordingly.If you want a fitted look, go with the size you typically get, otherwise, if you want a looser look or just to be sure it wont be too small, go at least one size up. This should be taken with a grain of salt though, as someone with wide shoulders or a long torso might have to go at least one size up just to get a good fit. In short; take all of your body's dimensions into consideration, not just height and weight.Update: My size small version came in, and it fits me much better than the large. The arm length is almost perfect and the bottom of the jacket sits just below my belt line. The stomach, back, and shoulders are all a good fit, with not much extra material hanging around. I have found that this jacket does have a design flaw, which is also shared by most other leather jackets. There is little to no extra material in the arm pit area, causing the jacket to pull up if you raise your arms above chest level. This is very common in jackets such as this, so it isn't a big deal, at least not to me.Ultimately, this is a very nice jacket, but the sizing can definitely make or break how it looks on you. My final advice to anyone reading this is; do not lie to yourself about your body. If you are a small person and you know it, just go with the size you know fits you best. Likewise, if you are a big person and you know it, go a size up just to be safe. To sum up everything I wrote here in one sentence; I thought I was a medium, so I bought a large, but it turned out that I am a small, and needed a small all along. Take care.

Great jacket without breaking the bank
This worked really well, survived the tough New England winter. It kept me quite warm, between the liner and thick inside, and being able to zip both liner and jacket was great. The hood added that extra comfort during snow/rain or cold wind. When it started to warm up, I removed the liner and hood and it made the jacket even lighter. But with the liner it was heavy enough without being bulky. All the main zippers were strong metal and worked well.I'll address my experience with the two complaints I saw in the reviews. First is size. I wear XL to XXL shirt (depending on the brand/size) since I have large shoulders, and the XL jacket fit snug and left enough movement for comfort. So I think it fits well. Second is the fake leather wearing/rip marks. So this is fake leather, not real, and for the price I'm not too concerned with some minor wear signs. For 95% of the jacket there was no wear at all. The only place I saw the wear was in the bottom of the sleeves, which is where I think others had issues with as well. I found the reason for this was the large pockets with strong metal zipper sticking out a bit. So when walking my arms would swing and rub against those zippers. I found that if I don't have my hands in my pockets and close the zippers, it doesn't happen anymore. So that would be my suggestion for anyone purchasing this jacket.

Sizing help for tweens!
My son wanted a black leather jacket for his 12th birthday. This ticked all the boxes. It looks really good on with all the pockets. He prefers to zip out the hood, but I think it is cool how it appears that he has another jacket on underneath, and he can zip only that zipper for a different look.But we did have a sizing issue. The 14/16 fits him perfectly, like to a tee, meaning he can not grow an inch. Since that is unlikely, I wanted to order a larger one. A boy's size 16-20 would have fit him just right with a little growing room. However, they don't offer that size, so we ordered men's since we loved this jacket so much.The sizing charts were confusing! The chest measurement of the boy's size matches men's medium and boy's sleeve matches men's small. So I ordered small and medium to see what would actually work. The small is the one we kept. It is a bit bigger than I would have liked, but I'm sure he will grow into it quickly. Pictures show the fit (Boy's 14/16, Men's S, Men's M). My son is 5'2" and 114 lbs.

My most used jacket for 4 years
I bought this jacket about 4 years ago at the beginning of my military career. It's very comfortable to me at least. The zipper slider on the left side that holds on the hood piece does kinda uncomfortable press against my collarbone sometimes, especially when I have something over my shoulder but just moving the zipper down a bit fixes that. The inner liner doesn't feel particularly high quality but it isn't bad. The hood piece is comfortable. The cuff and lower rim fabric is stretchy and durable. I had a button break between the top of the jacket and the hood about 2 years ago and never fixed it but it's not really noticable and it still holds well. The leather material lasted well but it has deteriorated over time. It did well in rain as I recall and kept me warm in winter in places like Chicago and Japan so it isn't bad with insulation. The pockets are all super useful. There's an inner breast pocket on the left side and two outer on either side. And two hand level side pockets. My absolute favorite jacket for four years and lasted my whole military career. I'll probably get another one. If I do I'll replace the string in the hood. That lasted well and the metal ends are nice and never broke but I would just like a different one and I'll probably change the inner liner material. Overall good buy.
