As asked here is my review with pics of the jacket.
The Jacket retails for $199 from http://www.hugeindustries.com/ . Customer service from the company is great, and you can expect to talk to a live person if you need to which is a serious plus in my book. The jacket arrived quickly, and properly packaged.
With all that past now here are the pics and review:
The front of the jacket is very nice looking...note there is no windflap at the collar though and the zippers are adequate but not overdone. First thoughts of the jacket is that this is more of an "around the town" jacket then anything else....

The rear of the jacket is pretty much self explanitory....looks real good...

The patches and lettering in my mind could have been doublestitched for better quality.

One of my biggest turn offs on the jacket is the non-removable liner...
With the various weather here in NY I think that would be a good feature to add on their jackets in the future...keep in mind you DID only pay $200 for this jacket though....

Again...single stitching....which I guess really doesnt matter as much on the lining...

The jacket does have removable arm protection...which is elaborate....but does not have either back or shoulder padding...
This jacket also does not have a waist zipper for pants attachment (for racing purposes)...

Another picture of the stitching....while like I said previously...this is a GREAT looking jacket....and it will get a lot of compliments if you are just going out for a cruise around...I dont feel the stitching will hold up when you need it to during a crash....

Last pic....and the only cosmetic problem I did find with the jacket...
The area around the collar has a little to be desired...

All in all I would rate this jacket it two separate ways....fit and finish...
Fit which is the ability to protect the person wearing it...and its ergonomics I would give it a 5 out of 10...mainly because it is nice leather....and will work better then any textile jacket...minus the pads...
Finish I would give it an 8 out of 10. Reason for not a higher score would be the collar....
Overall the jacket would receive a 6.5 out of 10.
Thanks!
I was just looking at those last night...
