First of all: it's a good jacket, especially for the price (these days). I like it, and I'm happy with the purchase (for now).
That said, don't be fooled: it LOOKS like the leather is a lot thicker in the photo than it really is. The collar will NOT sit as pictured on its own -- close, but it's not quite that thick, and not quite that formed. Most of what you see in the picture is the jacket stretched over a frame, I suppose -- the large creases/ripples around the armpits and sides give a better sense of the actual material and how it flows.
So, it's really not the thick biker's jacket kind of material you might expect. It's reasonable all the same, though -- again, for the price -- durable clothing, and certainly not the super-flimsy fashion-victim tearable "leather" you get on some modern junk. In short, proper, real leather, yet not quite the best you could hope for.
Can't vouch for the stitching strength etc., as I've only just removed it from the packaging a few minutes ago. The stitching looks a little wide and weak to me, but it's PROBABLY fine. Time will tell. Should be good enough leather (read: REAL materials) that it can be repaired if it ever comes to that, at least.
Looks-wise, it's not bad at all. What I thought from the photo were thick hide seems look more like thin whitish/creamish lines in reality, which, with the good cut, looks pretty good.
The fit is exactly as described, but yeah, as others said, it JUST zips up for me (very slim guy, wearing a t-shirt and shirt), so if you want to wear it with anything thicker, you'll probably have to leave it unzipped. You SHOULD be OK with the chest/shoulder size, but I'm not sure. Not really the kind of stuff you'd wear with a jacket like this anyway, usually, and you probably DO want it to zip tightly, so it's flat-fronted, if zipping it at all.
So, all things considered, a great buy.

I ordered it as my motorcycle jacket, some reviewers recommended go one size up! I ignore that advice and ordered my regular size which fits just perfectly. As many reviewers write before quality is superb (had some wrinkles on leather from the packing) which was easy to fix. Other from that this jacket is perfect! If you looking for this style of jacket order it and you won't be disappointed..
