Laverapelle Men's Genuine Lambskin Leather Jacket (Black, Biker Jacket) - 1501200

Really glad I took a chance on this jacket. I was unsure what quality leather, tailoring, and craftsmanship to expect, but I'm very pleased with the producr all around. This is a nice jacket! I’m thrilled to find a good-looking jacket that fits my unusual size, and doesn’t break the bank. I’ve already placed another order to see how well they do with black cowhide.Fit / TailoringFor me, this is the big issue. I’m 6’2”, 180#, with especially long arms. Off the rack mediums fit my torso, but my sleeve length is XL. Trying to get standard size clothing tailored to fit me, and even ordering made-to-measure from some places, often results in awkwardly fitting unwearable disasters.But I’m stoked with the job Laverapellle did. It fits! The sleeves are just the right length, and it’s a good slim fit through my chest and waist. It looks good over a t-shirt, and looks snug but not stressed over a sweatshirt. I was worried that without an action back the sleeves might get too short when my arms are forward for driving/punching/zombie-walking. But no, the arm holes and nice and high and the sleeves don’t shrink dramatically through my range of typical motion.DetailingThe model 1501200 seems (very) inspired by another designer’s jacket. I prefer the collar on that other designer’s pictures, but this jacket is no slouch. The stitching is all attractive, and the hardware works well. I like the attention to detail that’s been put in, like the inclusion of a sewn-in spares pouch, and how the trim along the exterior pocket zippers hides everything but the slider bar.FeelIt’s lambskin. It feels soft and great, and like most real lambskin jackets it feels thinner and more delicate than many other leathers. My wife’s italian lambskin jacket does have a finer slightly more buttery feel.ColorThe Vax Brown is okay. It’s a medium-tone brown, but it’s a little more reddish than I was expecting. It’s a terracotta hue. There’s some applied mottling in the darkness which, in person, looks a little applied. But for a $200 made-to-measure jacket, I'm not complaining.PocketsPockets overall are very good.The lower front pockets are not zippered, and are deep enough to get fists into. I like that they’re diagonally cut, as I’ve found vertical unfastened belly pocket openings can tend to pucker after I’ve had a big meal.The upper front pockets are zippered, and deep enough I could fit my flat hands entirely into them.The left arm pocket is a real pocket. And it’s big enough I can fit my flat hand entirely in it; you’ll fit your smokes in there no problem.The two interior breast pockets (one is zippered, one is not) have a nice leather trim at the opening, but are bigger than I would like. I’d say they’re roughly the size of CD jewel cases (ask your parents), so my phone or glasses tend to end up on their sides deep at the bottom and aren't quick to retrieve.ServiceMy order was filled flawlessly, so I didn’t have an opportunity to test their customer service. I submitted my unusual body measurements and very reasonable payment on the evening of January 10th. A perfectly-fitting, stylish, quality lambskin jacket arrived on my doorstep the morning of January 21. What a time to be alive!

5'10 180, typically wear a large size shirt. Chest is about 41', athletic build. The Large size jacket fit just a tad bit tight. When zipped up, extending the arms forward there is a bit of tightness at the back, so I ordered an XL to compare it to. The XL definitely fits better around the chest, sleeves are a tad bit longer and I could also comfortable wear that size. I opted to stay with the large because I like the slightly more slimmer fit at the arms and chest.As for the quality, it's beautiful with finely detailed craftsmanship, hard to find a flaw on it. I took a chance like many others and was not only surprised, but excited with my new jacket. This company is doing fine work. Highly recommended.For the price, it definitely exceeded my expectations.

I did the custom fit. All looks great, except waist seems large.

This jacket is a complete waste of money, and the absolute worst grade leather that you can buy. It is extremely thin, and I doubt it will last longer than a year. It breaks my heart, because the style is great. It fits VERY TIGHT- but looks like the promo. But don't think you'll be impressing anyone... Have fun arguing with your friends that it's genuine leather or that you paid over $150 for it. It kind of smells a little real- but looks and feels utterly faux. It looks like you spent under $60 for this. And, I hope you wear jackets in fair weather. Because this jacket WILL NOT KEEP YOU WARM. The shell is as thin as it gets, and there is no lining whatsoever. The last jacket I spent this much on lasted over 15 years. I actually still wear it. The leather is slightly distressed, but still feels and SOUNDS like the real thing. This Laverapelle one feels fake, makes no sound whatsoever, and will last probably a year or less. I won't buy online leather EVER AGAIN. I'm BEYOND disappointed with this purchase. If you've ever owned a real leather jacket, this one will PALE in comparison. My one star is ONLY for the style of the jacket.

The photo of the yellow version of this jacket has been likely edited to increase the saturation—the jacket I received is nothing like what is depicted, which is a very vibrant yellow. I have included a few things in my picture that are hopefully widespread enough to enable a comparison for you: a white sheet of printer paper, a tonic water bottle with a yellow label (purchased in California), some dollar bills.Also, the sleeves were way too long despite the fact that I provided the correct measurement as instructed (I checked both the value I submitted and re-measured my arm).Other than that, looks like a good jacket, and the return was accepted with no issues.

just received it looks very goodfit perfectly very lightweight and comfortable

Liked the overall fitness and design except for the sleeves. For a medium size jacket I found the sleeves a bit too long. You'd have to be a monkey with long arms to fit in that jacket? Will have it altered soon.

I ordered a custom black jacket with nylon liner, and it fits perfectly. The stitching and general workmanship are great. They packed the jacket very well, putting tissue paper to avoid leather-on-leather rubbing to minimize any possibility of damage. It comes in a cloth bag for additional protection. My wife really liked it when I modeled it for her. The soft lambskin feels great and allows for easy movement. The inside pockets will fit a larger cell phone and glasses. The sleeve pocket is deeper than I expected. This is a great looking and great fitting, lightweight jacket that I can wear anywhere. Time from order to arrival was 21 days, a week faster than estimated. Highly recommended!
