Great jacket in terms of appearance, leather, pockets, style and workmanship, but the sizing runs small – I ordered a 60 and it's a tight fit. For people with broader shoulders and higher weight it may be too small (I'm 190 cm and 106 kg).

A leather jacket with a fit reminiscent of the popular flyers-type flight jackets, based on the model worn by the Bundeswehr. The outer layer is made of 100% buffalo nappa leather, while the orange lining is made of polyester. The jacket is fastened with a two-way YKK zipper.
The German Leather Flight Jacket is equipped with two side pockets, an additional pocket located on the chest and a shoulder pocket. Each of them is zippered. Inside the jacket there are two additional pockets to carry handy accessories.
At the collar, on the wrists and at the waist there are knitted welts, which further protect against the cold and allow for a better fit. Slits have been placed under the armpits.
The inner part was made in a bright orange color scheme. This distinctive solution is related to the original purpose of this type of jacket for USAF pilots. In the event of a malfunction or shooting down, they had a better chance of being rescued by search services. Nowadays, this ingenious solution can come in handy, for example, when moving along the side of an unlit road outside a built-up area.

The Mil-Tec BW German Leather Flight Jacket in black is a solid, stylish jacket made from high-quality leather. It is comfortable, durable and has a classic, aviation-inspired cut that suits various outfits. It works well for colder days – I recommend it.
-
The jacket is really nice, but before wearing it for the first time, it's worth airing it out, as you can smell the chemicals used for tanning the leather.
-
The jacket was exchanged for size 60 and the exchange went very quickly. The jacket is very comfortable and pleasant to wear. The only downside is the smell, but that's normal for a new natural leather jacket – it will disappear over time. I definitely recommend it.
-
The sizing is underestimated. The given measurements do not correspond to the actual product. I ordered size 54 according to the table, but it turned out to be definitely too small. I am returning the product and will check if size 60 will be suitable. Apart from that, the jacket is really fine.
