Anybody have a Madison Jacket?

I've been looking around for a new jacket. I kind of like the way the Triumph Madison jacket looks, but I'm concerned about the quality. Is the leather of good quality? How about the construction? I would also like to know if the sleeves are on the long side like a real motorcycle jacket or is it just more or less a style jacket. Finally, is there any way to lose the big white Triump logo on the lower back?

Thanks,
Rich

I was really excited about this jacket as well....right up until I saw it in person. The color didn't look quite right, more grey than black. The leather seemed thin and it is not sold with any armor. I think it's more of a style jacket than a real motorcycle jacket. If I remember right the white Triumph on the back was painted on and faded to look warn like the rest of the jacket. I passed.

I like the jacket and it's look (distressed/fadded) The leather is good but it's not a hard core cycle jacket in my opinion. There are forearm pads that make the arms tight just below the elbow if your not a "lean" body type. I returned the one I bought for a larger size (on order) because of the thin arms. if you live someplace that it's really cold in the winter you might not be happy.

Good luck and save your receipt


ps...the jacket is defiantly grey in color and getting rid of the Triumph lettering doesn't look promising
