SHIFT Super Street leather jacket

[jeswin]

I'm hoping you guys could also help me with a jacket I'm looking at.... I'm looking to get a SHIFT Super Street leather jacket... anybody have any experience with this particular jacket or just SHIFT in general? quality... fit... I'm ~ 170lbs. 6' tall... My jeans are typically around 33-34"...

I know that leather jackets should be somewhat snug and not too tall... so I'm thinking of getting a M size jacket... however I'm kinda torn between a size L and M. Not sure which size to get... I looked up the sizing chart on shiftracing.com and I kinda fall in between... I was wondering if they typically run smaller/larger in size... if so... where? around the chest? waist? any help/advise y'all can provide will be greatly appreciated!

if you ride in a lot of cold weather i would go a bit bigger so you can have a sweater on or sonething

I actually just bought one of those jackets. I am 5'11" and 165-170 lbs and I got the large and it fits perfect. The only complaint I have about the jacket is that it is so stiff in the front that when I get in a tuck it rubs on my neck making it raw.

p diffy you should put on a few coats of leather conditioner
couple days later get the jacket a little bit wet and the leather will become more flexible
