I liked the jacket, although I didn’t want a black one, but I bought it because of the discount. In the photo, it looks like it has a worn effect and that the leather is thick — in reality, it doesn’t; it’s black and soft. The only thing is that the zips aren’t particularly pleasant. As for the size, this site is misleading. Keep in mind that German manufacturers give the measurements of the garment itself on the outside, not of your body. That is, it’s not the chest measurement, but the doubled width of the item measured on the outside. Measure an old jacket that fits you well and has roughly the same material thickness. Then you may not make a mistake with the size. I took size 56 at 180 cm and 90–100 kg, and it turned out just right.
Leather jacket with a design reminiscent of popular flight jackets, modeled after the fit worn by the Bundeswehr. The outer layer is made of 100% buffalo nappa leather, while the orange lining is made of polyester. The jacket fastens with a two-way YKK zipper.
The German Leather Flight Jacket features two side pockets, an additional chest pocket, and a shoulder pocket. Each is fastened with a zipper. Inside the jacket, there are two additional pockets for carrying small accessories.
Knit ribbing is placed at the collar, wrists, and waist, providing additional protection against the cold and allowing for a better fit. Slits are placed under the arms.
The interior is finished in bright orange. This distinctive design stems from the original purpose of this type of jacket for USAF pilots. In the event of a crash or being shot down, they had a better chance of being rescued by search and rescue teams. Nowadays, this ingenious solution can prove useful, for example, when walking along the shoulder of an unlit road outside a built-up area.

The jacket takes quite a long time to arrive in Ukraine, 10 days, and you should pick your size, or even one or two sizes larger. The jacket is well sewn, looks great from the front, but a bit short at the back – that's just the cut. It fits well around the waist, not baggy. Be very careful when choosing, especially if you are tall and have a slender body type! I am 185 cm and 70 kg, chose size 52, fit perfectly in the shoulders, sleeves were also good length, but at the back the jacket barely covers the kidneys. Overall, satisfied with the purchase, the leather is indeed as thick as it should be. The Germans really know how to make things, there’s no denying it. Good luck with your purchases!

Thanks to the reviews, I chose the right size, as the size chart is significantly understated. Usually, I wear size 50, I ordered the jacket in size 56 and everything fit. (Height 185, weight 88) The parcel arrived quickly. The jacket looks good, the leather and hardware are of good quality. The only downside is the smell.

The jacket looks great, the leather and details are of high quality, everything suits me, however the sizes are smaller than stated. I ordered size 60 even though I usually wear 54. I am 186 cm tall and weigh 107 kg. Thanks to other people's reviews, I managed to choose the right size. You can also comfortably wear it over a thick sweater.

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).

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.
