Helstons Ace Legende Vintage jacket in brown 3XL

Robin F: Beautiful jacket, but crazy sizing...

An e-mail from Motolegends offering substantial Sunday Sale discount on all leather jackets caught my attention. I had long promised myself a leather jacket and of the options available the Helstons Ace Legende vintage jacket seemed to fit the bill. Both well specified and with five star reviews it seemed an excellent choice. As a chest size I seem to hover between an XL and XXL, so to be on the safe side I ordered one of each size, being confident one or other would fit. Wrong! When they arrived both were too small, so I had to re-order a XXXL. Now it could be argued it was vanity on my part to order smaller sizes in the hope one would fit. But, an MS sweater purchased just a few days later in a size XL fits perfectly! To add to the confusion the Helstons jacket and the MS sweater both have near identical sizes written on their labels 112-117cms and 113-117cms, yet one is an XL and the other a XXXL? Why ever cant clothing manufactures be consistent in their sizing? Is it really too much to ask? OK, moan over, what about the jacket?... It truly is beautiful the leather is wonderfully soft and the stitching is perfect. Top draw YKK zips all round and what appears to be a nicely finished heavy duty polycotton lining. The branding is very discreet with a simple embossed name on the chest. I went for the dark brown colour with tastefully contrasting tan stripes down the sleeves. The jacket comes with Level 1 D3O Ghost armour in the shoulders and sleeves, but no back protector, although there is provision for one. In summary a beautiful jacket, but check your sizing carefully. If you are likely to wear a thermal lining with this jacket you may even need to consider a larger size...

Trevor: Sumptuous

Stunning quality leather combined with Uber cool styling make this my favourite jacket. Im a new convert to Helstons and love their stuff. Ill be buying more based on this purchase.

I love this jacket. The leather is so supple and has some great design features such as the longer back to stop draughts when you lean forward on the bike. Much better than my previous jacket. Only negative is it doesnt come with a back protector - but thats pretty much the case for all jackets, but why?? Highly recommended.

I am 59 and 165 pounds with medium build and a medium fits me perfectly. The styling, material and build of the jacket is exceptional.
