That's right, Uncontrol!
Overall, looks good to me (maybe little short on sleeve...?)
Please note the leather will shrink a bit (like 1cm. The elbow bit will expand though). So you need to consider wearing gloves that covers your wrist, maybe? And if you ride bike, the sleeve will even become shorter, as you put hands forward.

IMO, the shoulder seam is way off. It shouldn't sit so far down on your arms.

This is the perfect jacket, IMO....the Vanson Comet

Cool tattoos. The Temple of Jawnz Double Rider does sound like the best option for you within that price range.

Maybe go with the Schott from Epaulet? I think it's 460 and Mike is super helpful.

Alright, returned the old jacket and picked up a new one! Different brand as well. I think this fit much better, what do you guys think?

Its a 40L, So its made for tall dudes. So i like the longer torso and sleeves since im around 6'2''. I could have picked up a 42L that was a very little bit looser, but i felt the 40L was more "fitted" and would prob stretch out a tad over time ( correct?)

What do you guys think?
