Just enough biker to make it absolutely perfect. Quality of leather is really good too. I ordered a 12 and they sent me a 10, which happened to another person who left a review, but the size is absolutely perfect. I can now ditch my very old M&S bomber that is much too small around the chest area, hooray! JoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
