    This is the SE version but no doubt they are both equally fantastic motorcycle jackets; well worth their price. I have mine since 2017. I use it on the bike for around town runs, and accepting the lack of protective inserts, I can’t imagine a better jacket for that.
    I picked a size larger than the one advised by the SE salesperson in NYC because I’m used to loose jackets and always worn them this way but I now reckon he was probably right and I should’ve listened.


    The journey is the objective.

        Looks pretty tight. Don’t think you could get much more than a t-shirt under it. Do you plan on riding with it?

            @cooldude_abe I would size up even with a T

              If you don't ride and only plan on a T underneath, you might be fine. Concern would be the sleeves coming up a bit short once creases set in. Sizing up may be a better option provided all the other measurements fall in line.

                size up

                Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
                Well, I have others.

                  If it's unlikely you'll zip it then it fits like a rock star.  Otherwise size up.  I think both are viable choices.  (Get another and keep both…because why not?)

                    Thanks everyone, I will see if I can get a larger size up.

                      @cooldude_abe just from the looks I think it's spot on. Unless you want to layer a heavy shirt underneath it seems like a great fit. Also you should have some room through the zips on the side? They give a lot extra space

                      @elclintor:

                      > I don't care what people say.. The Max Power way is the right way…

                        Hi it's quite comfortable with a t-shirt but I would like to be able to wear it with a hoodie. Thanks.

                              @Giles I see early references (~2015) to this jacket being veg tanned instead of chrome tanned - was there a change made to the production process? if so, can you share why?

                                There was some false info floating around back then regarding this jacket, including that the Self Edge version had a higher quality leather.  If I remember correctly, it was first listed as veg tanned and then corrected at some point to chrome tanned.  Additionally, there were no references to tea core at that time.

                                I bought mine in 2016 and it was already listed as chrome tanned at that point.

                                    This is a damn solid jacket and right up my alley. I'd love a version with a slanted chest pocket to only one side, that wluld be tidy.
