Triumph Custom Leather Jacket - Thoughts?

[Smitty81]

I love the look of Triumph's custom leather jacket. It's expensive but I don't mind as long as it's a quality jacket. Does anyone here have experience with this one in particular? I'd like to know your thoughts.

Many Triumph branded garments are cut on the smallish side, I'd go with one size bigger than you think you need, unless you want to look like you were poured into it! Beyond that, I can't quibble about the quality, everything I've go so far is top drawer.

That's good to know. I'm built like a linebacker so I was going to order the biggest one they have and hope for the best. Amazon has one in stock so returning it shouldn't be a problem if it doesn't fit. Thanks for the input.

If you've the triangle upper body shape most body builders strive for their jackets will fit like a glove....if they make a big enough one lol.

At 6'2", 205 I fit their XL jackets pretty **** well. It's slim/euro fit gear mostly.

I'd describe my upper body as barrel-shaped. Ale barrel maybe.

I have Triumph branded cordura jacket and trousers and I think they are very well made and top quality motor bike gear I can highly recommend their kit
Would also agree go a size bigger as do come up a bit small ( at least on a over feed northern European like myself )

morbidly obese low tech and old ....that's me not my Rocket !

Smitty,
That is a lot of money for a not custom fitted MC jacket.
This is THE best motor jacket made, IMHO.
It is custom fitted to you at their shop in Portland and will last you a life-time, mine sure has!
Many different styles available.

Awesome. I'll look into this. I've been needing an excuse for a cruise down 101 anyway.

I've got a Triumph Mugello Jacket. It fits great and is brilliant quality.
Price - FREE
The dealer asked Triumph Australia to sweeten the deal when I was looking to buy my Street Triple.
It's for warmer weather riding, the leather is impregnated with a TFL coating that reflects sunlight and heat.
As I live in the Tropics this is a great jacket.
I was already going to buy the Triple but told them I needed the jacket to seal the deal. Never hurts to ask.
