Icon 1000 Vigilante Stickup Jacket

We tried the size Medium in this jacket on Huey and we put an XL jacket on Dewey. These are the sizes they normally wear and both fit great. My advice would be to wear the size you normally wear in men’s clothing.

If you look at Icon’s chest size estimates for each jacket, you might be choosing a size larger than you normally wear (example a person with a 46 chest typically is an XL, but using Icon’s chart you’d buy an XXL), but we think the jackets fit more like what you’d expect in men’s clothing.

If you want to choose a jacket based upon your chest and belly size, I’ve put together the chart below. I’ve included Icon’t suggested chest size ranges and I’ve added a column to give you our estimate of max chest and belly size for each jacket size. If you prefer a loose fit, then Icon’s estimates would be appropriate.

The overall fit of this jacket is a bit more sporty than most of Icon’s jackets. The jackets taper from chest to belly more like a sport jacket than a cruiser style jacket. So when choosing a size, you should measure your belly as well as your chest and make sure the size you are getting will be big enough for both your chest and belly.

The Icon 1000 Vigilante Stickup jacket is a leather/textile combination jacket with functional features similar to the Retrograde and Axis jackets, but with a style all its own. This jacket has decent venting, a removable thermal vest and a complete set of D3O armor.

The styling of this jacket speaks for itself so I’ll focus on the functionality. The body of the jacket is a combination of textile and leather. The grey textile is a sharp looking nylon blend fabric, but it has the look of a semi shiny wool and that’s where Icon gets the “varsity” comments to describe it. The sleeves are Icon’s usual heavy weight leather. The overall package feels plenty sturdy.

Three features on this jacket adds to its usability in warmer weather… it has zippered bicep vents and also large zip vents under the arms. And perforated leather is used in a one inch wide band all the way around the arm. And for colder weather use, this jacket has a removable vest liner to add a bit of insulation. And of course you can use your own layers under the jacket too. The jacket doesn’t have a lot of venting features, but being a mostly-textile body, it will naturally breathe a bit more than an all-leather jacket. So I think this jacket will work in all but HOT weather, so lets say this one is for three seasons.

As I mentioned above, this jacket comes with a full set of D3O armor which is very good stuff and so there will be nothing else to buy. For those looking for something different, you’ll be very pleased. And the protection chops here are very good too so its not all for show. :: Paul, 05-04-18

Icon says: As flashy as a butterfly knife and as mean as a boy named Sue, the Stickup is the jacket your parents warned you about. Antiqued leather sleeves, varsity textile body, high-end zippers and a full D3O® protector suite keep things fully motorcycle legit. Visually the chenille embroidery over suede appliques, with just the right amount of skullage, is the requisite ticket when the time comes to cut class.
