Fascinating because out of the dozen or so leather jackets I have worn in the last 20 years, this one sits at a level of perfection reserved for it alone. I have jackets from Paul Smith, Belstaff, Agnes B., and Schott. Some are excellent. The Blake, however, is the finest I have ever worn. This overwrought sounding assessment is due to the look and feel of the high quality leather, the fit, the design, the attention to detail, and, most importantly, to the tone or ambience that arises when these elements come together as they do when I wear this jacket. It's still a bit of a surprise every time I put it on, and that is fascinating.

I love leather jackets, I probably have 10+. The quality, look, feel is great for the price point. I am 190lbs, 6'1" and bought an XL, with a size 36" waist. It looks and fits great. It isn't super snug on me like a motorcycle jacket, but I didn't want it for that. I can wear a hoody underneath still and it looks super cool. Probably the only motorcycle jacket a normal middle age guy can wear without looking like they are trying too hard. I can wear to work, to grocery store, with jeans or even track pants. Can dress up or down. If you are thinking about it, you won't be disappointed.
