Default "Racing" Jackets

Hey all,
I'm not sure if this should go in "For-sale" or what, but seeing as I am not selling, I'd put it here. Basically, a few months ago I ordered one of these jackets from eBay. I wasn't expecting much for the price but I was blown away for the quality for the price.
The sellers page is here: time-sports-international | eBay

I am no way connected in any way to these guys, I just thought I'd let you guys know. I got this jacket Honda Repsol Red Motorbike racing leather Jacket | eBay and couldn't be happier. I get tonnes of comments about it. YES. it is a knockoff. NO. It not really Dianese... but its not meant to fool anyone.

The PROs of this jacket:
- Price
- Ships with Free shipping (used DHL for me, had it in less than a week)
- REAL Leather, not that plastic leather crap
- Well stitched together. Extra stitching near the impact areas
- Heavy duty YYK zipper
- Pants zipper

CONs
- The armor is junk. I just took some Knox armor out of my old jacket and used it.
- Fits a bit tight - I'm a 44 and its snug. But I guess these jackets are meant to be.
- A bit short. I wish it was an inch or so longer, but I am "long torso'd"
- No removable liner, so its warm

If your looking for a inexpensive jacket that isn't cheap, this was a great choice. I'd order another.

Got any close up pics. Looks very interesting. I'm wondering if these jackets are pretty much straight from the manufacture without branding.

Did you notice that all the company logos are just a bit off?

The only ones I noticed were the colors were flipped on the HRC one and Gas USUALLY, but not always, has "Blue Jeans" written.

rcncbr - yeah, all good thus far
