Joe Rocket Rocket Nation Leather Jacket

Fit of the jackets is pretty standard. Use the chart below to select a jacket size based upon your chest and belly measurements. You’d want to pick the smallest jacket that would be big enough for both your chest and belly. If you have a big chest (relative to your waist), use the side waist adjustment tabs to cinch the waist down to get a good fit. Tall sizes are available and they are approximately 1 1/2” longer in the sleeves and torso. If you normally have to buy tall men’s clothing, then select a tall size in this jacket.

The Rocket Nation jacket offers some fresh styling in a well made leather sport jacket. I like the way this jacket fits. It’s a bit roomier than most through the chest and the sleeves and the sleeves have fabric panels that allow free range of motion. At the elbow there is a slack adjuster to customize the fit and help the armor stay in position. The leather used is thick, but soft and this jacket feels comfortable right from the start. The jacket has a full set of dual density foam armor including a back pad. You can connect the jacket to sport leather pants or to textile pants with the short rear zipper. To get some comfort in hot weather, the jacket has front ventilation zippers in the biceps area and also on the stomach near the pockets and two rear exhaust zippers. For colder weather use, the jacket comes with a vest-type removable insulated liner.
