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

I’ve owned this jacket for over a year. It’s my go-to, cool weather motorcycle jacket. It’s definitely tough buying a jacket online rather than in a store where you can touch it, try it on, etc. Overall I’m impressed with this jacket. It’s comfortable, stylish, appears to be well constructed. I’d definitely buy again - no regrets. Sizing is always a struggle online. I wear a large in some items, a medium in others. I went with a medium and glad I did. It fits well, but a few too many beers and it might not. Anyway, for reference, I’m 5’9”, 190 lbs and relatively muscular chest and shoulders. The medium feels tailor made.

Spring fall and cool summer evenings on the motorcycle

I was in a constant search for a jacket that was comfortable and yet would protect me. This jacket is exactly what I was looking for!

Needed a solid cold weather jacket for riding, and this is definitely it. Where as I used to use mesh jackets with inner liners and still feel all the cold, this jacket is outstanding.For example, I took an excursion one weekend and the temps were about 48 when I left the house. All I had on underneath was a regular hoodie t-shirt. Temps quickly dipped down and by the time I rolled into the house, to my surprise temps had gotten into the 30's! I was on the highway for probably a solid hour as temps ducked under 40 and I was hauling ass but I didn't feel anything hit my upper extremities.Comfortable fit, I'm 6' about 225, 36" waist. I got the XL and its almost too big for me. For reference I have a REV-IT summer mesh jacket and 2XL is almost tight on me. I was able to transfer my CE armor from my REV-IT jacket to this jacket, but the fit is a little goofy, would probably recommend buying First Manufacturing pads for a better fit. I was just being a cheapskate since I already invested a few $100 in protection.Pockets for days, although I don't have a habit of stowing much in my jackets. Inner Liner is real solid.Above 50 degrees I'm almost sweating wearing it. 55 I have to wear a t-shirt only.In conclusion, if you need a solid cold weather jacket, this company makes some kick ass jackets. Very happy.

I'm not one for black jackets but this is pretty dark for a brown jacket. I was kind of expecting that anyway from reading other reviews, but still looks really good. The pockets are great, especially the inside pockets being big enough to put a phone and a wallet in there without feel like you're trying to parallel park your belongings. It is quite a bit bit heavier than what I am used to but then again makes it perfect for colder climates where I am at. I can wear a simple long sleeve shirt under this jacket while riding in the low 30s at highway speed. I bought the medium, it is still a tad large with me being 6ft tall and 160-170lbs. But fills up fairly well with the liner and armor.With that being said, the armor pockets are really small. I had to trim down the armor I had to make them fit. The zippers on the pocket could use some tassels to make them easier to use especially with gloves on.And to get a better fit out of the jacket, I ended up getting some eyelets at Walmart and punched a fourth eyelet into the side buckles. That tightened up the jacket almost perfectly to my body.

I'm built like a barrel, 58 chest and 58 waist. Took a chance and ordered a men's 5x. I probably would have bought a 6x if it were available but I think that might have been too big. A little snug around the mid-section but fits good on the way up. I can get the zipper closed and still move around and breath. I'm thinking it will get better with age or if I lose some weight. Sleeves are a good length for riding.Took it for a ride on a hot day and it wasn't terrible. Removed the liner, unzipped the sleeves, opened the back vents, and left the front zipper down about 4-6 inches. Seemed good while I was moving.I like the quality. It's a heavy jacket for sure. The only complaint is that I wish the fitment charts were a little more accurate (that is when they are available).

Very pleased great product! great price ! Came a day early. Very satisfied

The Commuter Jacket is the coolest 'Cafe Racer' styled jacket out there, PERIOD.Robert on Mar 11, 2019I ride a Suzuki Burgman 650 Executive, (not a Harley) I wanted a jacket for safety, of course it had to be cool.First let me say I am pumped with the quality of this jacket, with one caveat, I would prefer the belts on the side cinch the waist tighter. I tightened them to the last notch...Anyway just a heads up guys at the jacket factory.Man, I obsessed over this coat for about a month before I ordered, reading every review on multiple sights. I was convinced that First Manufacturing was the company I would do business with. I like that they have been around since 1987, place emphasis on value first, and the quality is definitely there, YKK zippers, good leather with some imperfections, but that adds to the 'look'.I of course read about Schott NY, and Marlon Brando, man cool stuff. One problem, after reading the history of motorcycle jackets on the web, I now think I will be buying (from First Manufacturing) the Super Star, or Filmore... Both reminiscent of the Schott Perfecto, the jacket that started it all.But guy's, The Commuter Jacket is the coolest Cafe Racer styled jacket out there, PERIOD.

Received the jacket today. Really nice , well made with good size pockets. I ordered a Large , hesitating to go Medium. I am 5’10” and 175 lbs with wide shoulders. The jacket is a bit loose on me but that fine , I can wear an extra lining , I like to ride in cold weather. The sleeves are long but it is a riding jacket that covers up over the wrist, perfect on the bike. The quality is outstanding for the price. I wanted to order a Harley jacket which would have cost me 35% more. I am glade I didn’t.

Una charra super comoda y con una excelente calidad, ajusta perfecto, en la moto es ligera y con buen aislamiento, cuenta con varias bolsas interiores y exteriores además de forro para frío, sin duda mi marca favorita por su buen balance entre precio y calidad
