I've got the 7-2 aplinestars jacket. I like, but if I had the money, I'd get the Santa Monica by Dainese. Their jackets are freaking nice, but you pay for them.

 

I have the same jacket, had it maybe a few months or so, and I'll sell it to ya 200.00 shipped. I like the jacket and all, but I had been looking for a nice leather jacket, and saw this one, they didn't have a large for me to try, but the XL fit OK, so I got it, thinking I would like it, which of course, the fit didn't quite do it for me, just a little loose. I am 6ft 185 lbs, not fat, not skinny, but it fits a little loose, plus I got a pencil neck, so I get an air-gap with the XL, but, to a guy a little more stout, this might fit great. Other than the fit, wich was my fault, no complaints. Well taken care of, worn for about two months or so, never wet.

 

Hey Shocktroop I've got 17 inch neck, a 48 inch chest and a 35 inch waist packed into a 5 /11 frame . That's one reason I kind of lean towards the Italian gear. It seems to fit the best considering arms and neck are about the same size

 

that jackets awsome....I want my wife to buy me the leather vendetta Shift jacket...gloves are a must, never ride without them

 

True, I don't have this "exact" jacket, but the one that took over mine.

I really wish Shift would make the SR-1 Suits in Red. They make the jackets in red, why not the suits?

 

Here is AGV Torino Leather Jackets it is very similar to the first jacket I recommended just without the hump for about the same amount money. The big difference is the spinal protector is not CE armor, but lighter foam type. Of course it can be upgraded but you get the most bang for your buck with my first recommendation
