I am 6'1" Tall and weigh about 280 LBS. I have a big belly on me and I am 62 years old. I normally wear a size 3X, however I do have an old Genuine Military NAVY G-1 Jacket that I purchased about 25 years ago. That jacket is a size 52. It still goes on but it is a littler snug in the Belly area. I also have a A-2 Style Jacket that I purchased about 7 years ago from Kohls or Sears or someplace. That one is a Size 2XL and it still fits me pretty good.Now, because some other people on this site have said that this NAVY G-1 Jacket runs small and they recommended to get a Bigger size - I ordered a Size 4X Jacket on Saturday December 10, 2016. The jacket arrived 4 days later on Wednesday December 14, 2016. It was shipped thru the regular US Postal Mail. It was shipped in a small box that is the size of a Shoe Box. When I opened the box the jacket was packed in there nicely with a Lot of Tissue paper. The jacket did not have any Chemical Smells as some others have mentioned. There were no smells at all unless you hold the jacket up to your nose and then it smells like leather.I was Anxious to try it on to see if it would fit me or be too big. When I put the jacket on I did notice a bit of space and looseness in the chest, belly, and waist area. Although it is questionable if that amount will be enough for me to return the jacket or not.I did visit another Local Manufacturer and Seller of G-1 and A-2 Leather Military Jackets and I tried on a size 3X and found it a little snug. They did not however have a size 4X for me to try on. Of course their prices were in the $550. range and not the $119.99 that I paid for this jacket.The sleeve length of the jacket is good, but the sleeves do feel and look baggier and puffier than my old G-1 Jacket. Perhaps the manufacturer increased the Diameter of the sleeves as well when making the 4X size jacket. Nothing bad though.The Leather Looks Great and has a Nice Dark Brown Color, although when comparing the thickness of the Leather with other jackets - the Leather feels extremely Thin. The Jacket is also very light in weight, even though it is a big 4X size. It feels like it would be warm though.I do not like the extra Hand warmer pockets and wish they would have kept it to Military Specs and Not put the hand warmer pockets in at all. They do stick out / puff out when wearing the jacket and do not lay flat and closed. I was thinking about maybe adding in some Velcro on the inside lip of these pockets to keep them closed. Because they also cause the rear edge of the Flap pockets to stick up - I wonder if the hand warmer packets will cause the Flap Pockets to come loose where they are sewed on.The Best part of the Jacket is the fake Fur Collar. It is beautiful, thick, and Luxurious. All the Buttons on the jacket do not seem like they are sewed on good and they are all loose and in danger of falling off. That includes the 2 buttons under the collar and the 2 buttons on the exterior flap pockets. Also my old Military G-1 jacket has a Button on the inside chest pocket and is also the pocket is larger than the pocket on this jacket.For $119.99 I think this Jacket is a Good Buy. It is Genuine Leather and it does look more expensive than it costs. My wife suggests that I also order and purchase another jacket in size 3X so that I will have both sizes. I just might do that.Besides if I wanted to return this jacket the shipping charges at the Post Office would probably cost me $20.00 or something like that. So I do recommend this jacket. I would also say that they do run pretty much to size - so you do Not have to worry about purchasing a Jacket one or two sizes larger than you normally wear.The package arrived, and I was like a kid frantically opening his X-mas gift. There jacket came with a coat hanger, and was wrapped externally and internally. There was material inside to keep the jacket from wrinkling (but to be honest, a jacket like this only gets more character from wrinkles). There was little bits of paper wrapped around each button to keep them from scratching, letting you know just how much care was put into this product.The collar is super-soft, and very luxurious. I've been riding with this jacket for at least a month now, in winter rain, hail, and at 4AM near freezing when it's very windy. This jacket is amazing at keeping me warm, but when it's really cold you'll need a hoodie underneath (or two shirts, if you're feeling lucky).Sturdy, rugged, beautiful, it's definitely got that "Cafe Racer" vintage look to it, without being worn-to-heck or having that "funky-grandma's-attic smell" to it. The front pockets (all four of them - side-openings and top-opening) have this suede-like material (possibly the soft side of the leather) that make this feel warm and very nice in winter. The leather also boasts a nice smell to it. The zipper is super-sturdy, and I'd trust it to last longer than any other zipper I've used so far.While at first it was too small, over time the leather does adjust to the wearer. At first it'll be a bit right so moving in this jacket (like how I ride my scooter) will be a bit cumbersome while the leather is new and unused, but given time it'll loosen up just fine. Except the shoulder - it's way too tight there. It presses my between my back and the nape of my neck in a way that feels way too forceful, and causes me headaches when wearing for extended periods of time.But don't let that last little bit of criticism stop you from ordering this thing. No sir. It's the nicest, finest piece of apparel I've ever owned, and my second-favorite clothes item I've ever owned (only behind a gothic-style black trenchcoat I used to own when I was a teenager - which I only like more due to fond memories, aka nostalgia goggles).Whether a gift to a family member, boyfriend, boss or best friend, or just a gift for yourself, this will be one clothes item they'll treasure (and probably use/show off any chance they get). If the area around the shoulders and neck were loosened up a bit, this would be a flawless item.Exactly what I was looking for: good quality leather, looks great, warm, doesn't restrict movement (even when sitting), comfortable when walking or drivingThis is a nice warm jacket that looks outstanding and very good quality.I like this jacket. It's very cool.縦の長さなんとか大丈夫ですか、横幅、体2個分の大きさ、とてもきれない。即廃棄。
