Good Jacket - Bad Fit
I really liked the look and feel of this jacket – its thick, high quality leather with sturdy fasteners and nice accenting details. The armour it comes with is the basic rubber style, fitted in both the shoulders and the elbows, with the option for inserting additional chest and back pieces. It should be noted these are a little difficult to access as they’re underneath the built-in liner. The chest and back pieces aren’t terrible to fit, but I dread the idea of changing the elbow and shoulders – there’s no way to see them as you’re trying to reach the mesh pockets from the bottom of the jacket liner. The removable flannel liner is quite nice; very comfortable, and I imagine the ability to remove it would make this jacket a little more reasonable in hotter weather, though there are no vents aside from those in the armpit. Generally, I’d say it’s a well-built, comfortable jacket for cooler weather.
Unfortunately, my issues with this jacket are primarily related to the fit. I’ve typically worn large sized Alpinestars textile jackets in the past (and based on the sizing chart included for this, I should fit an XL), but when I ordered this one, I found that the shoulders were wide and the neck loose – it was hard to tell if this was ideal or not until riding, when I really felt the size impact. I found that the excess material caught in the wind, drawing a lot of air down my neck and chest, making the jacket itself feel unsafe (as it pulled away from my body, likely to bunch in a slide)/uncomfortable (all the benefits of that warm liner were lost by the cold drafts).
Unfortunately, as I had to figure this out by riding, I was unable to return it, so if you find it is a slightly loose fit, be sure to return it ASAP or you’ll be out of luck. The return policy itself is reasonable, but if you make the mistake of wearing it at all, you’re stuck with it.

Very comfortable and flexible.
Bought this to wear on my daily commute and on a few longer rides. It is very comfortable and flexible and the removable liner in a fantastic feature. The protection seems good throughout even though there is no spine protector. I had to buy 2 sizes up from normal and what the sizing chart recommended as it is sized small. Normally I'm a Large, but had to go XXL with this jacket!

Trés beau blouson
J'ai acheté cet article le mois dernier et vraiment j'en suis très satisfait. C'est un blouson que j'aime bien et qui tient chaud par temps plus frais. La livraison a été assez rapide après la commande.

I like it.
I'm not normally one to write reviews, but when I purchased this jacket, I couldn't find any reviews online. I guess its because its a new jacket. Decided to buy it based on the limited information online, because I liked the look and Fortnine's return policy is awesome.
Love this jacket. Never had a proper motorcycle jacket before so I can't really compare it to anything. I'm 6'1, 180lbs, Large fits me perfectly, as per the sizing chart. Great quality leather, nice and thick. I've had it for about a month now and its already starting to form a nice mild patina. Its heavy, but very comfortable. Bought the back protector for it - installation was easy. Removable liner is a red,white,blue, yellow plaid, looks cool. All in all, I would say this jacket surpassed my expectations.

Not for broad shoulders
Body and sleeve length good, but the shoulders were very tight. Better with the liner out. Next size up would have been too big in the body. Elbow pads hurt when bending arms. Huge fold in the leather cuff when fastened that dug into my wrist. Not for me.

Questions
I'm normally a 44 chest what size should I get. Do they fit smaller as per sizing. If doesnt fit can I return it for another size?
Fits smaller than the size chart suggest so we recommend sizing up. In this case, we'd recommend the size 2XL for a 44" chest. You can view our return policy here: https://fortnine.ca/en/easy-returns

Can you also wear this jacket casually or is it too motorcycley??
It's incredibly casual. I wear it as my winter jacket even with the armour still installed and no one can tell
