Excellent protection. Bespoke fit. First class service.
I bought this jacket a year ago. It is a very unique and stylish jacket, you just don't see these out on the roads. It is great in Ohio from 75 degree summer days on the highway down to even 45 with a warm base layer or two. The fit and protection are just incredible. Esteban answered any questions I ever had immediately and was so friendly and accommodating, even when I sent the first jacket back for a larger size, and then sent it back again to ask them to lengthen the sleeves for my comfort (I am 6'3", 195 lbs size 42 and an extra inch in the sleeves made it more comfortable to reach the handlebars.) Esteban was always a total pro and kept me updated on production & shipping. I feel so safe in this jacket. I love it. The quality & service are just second to none.

Drop dead amazing jacket to the eyes, feel, quality, and fit.
Got this jacket custom made to my exact measurements and ordered it with all the armor. It has great safety features, beautiful looks, and is unique as hell. Worth the price! Keep in mind if you go with custom sizing/built from scratch, you should expect about 4 weeks until you receive it.

Impressed
I ordered a 32-29 from VKTRE based on my tailored Anti-Ball Crushers from Lululemon (yes, I ride a Harley and wear Lululemon b/c they're freaking awesome). The pants that came in (NJ) from VKTRE were way too small and the opposite of ABCs (READ ON-this is a POSITIVE review). So I emailed VKTRE and received several responsive and accommodating communications. Estefan (and his team) executed the perfect pair of these pants on the second round based on my description of how my ABC pants fit and some feedback on the first pair VKTRE send out. VKTRE gave me 34-30s and adjusted the seat for the anti-ball crushing effect. No precise measurements were needed in my description so I didn't have to waste time going to a tailor, just general body type, feedback on current fit, and description of desired fit. Now I have pants as comfortable and good looking (if not better) as the regular-fit ABC pants, but made of Shoeller Dynatec for cruising to work. They nailed it. Impressed all around.

Unique Shirt
I purchased the shirt as an alternative to a jacket, but without a compromise on protection. The fabric is not a draping kind of cloth, but more like a lightweight wetsuit material - somewhat thicker and spongy with elasticity. That would be my only improvement feedback but I suspect kevlar fabric technology doesnt yet allow for mimicking cotton. But the kevlar is what sold me and protection is ultimately more important than looks. The henley look is what makes this unique and really stands out from the other shirts on the market which are all essentially collared flannel. Size-wise Im 6'1" 185lbs with wide shoulders and a large is the right size. I've worn this with an armored shirt underneath and it works with that too. Have worn in 80's with some humidity and shirt was just right, and I'm sure this will work down to 60's with another layer. TIme will tell how this feels on warmer days...but 90+ is sweaty no matter what you wear. Really nice product. Well done Overall I am satisfied with the purchase

Aviator
I have had my aviator for a while now and use it mostly for the bike rides. It is the best and most comfortable leather jacket I have ever had! It breathes and moves with you on the bike. Thanks for the great job! Gunnar K

Finallly, an overshirt worth wearing!
Picked up this Henley after purchasing about 8 or so other products including other overshirts, jackets, etc. Love the way this fits, feels, and moves. I'm 5'10" 250lbs 50" chest and the XXL was the perfect fit. Feels a little tailored. with not a lot of bulkiness to it. Used it the day after I got it to ride half a day in 85 degree weather and although it was hot, I wouldn't say it was unbearable. Only gripe I have is the sleeves do seem a bit long, but that's just nitpicking. Not sure any other product would have kept me any cooler. Would definitely recommend. Already looking at picking up one of there jackets.

Top notch quality and workmanship
This is not a typical henley; feels heavy and material seems to be very durable. Great Workmanship. And great service too!

Great protector
I did have to trim it to fit in my jackets, but it’s a very nice protector. I might even buy the matching knee and elbow protectors.

Quality leatherworkers
Straight out of the box this is one eye catching jacket. Looks even better in person. The leather has heft to it while maintaining a buttery soft feel on the outside. Happy to know there are still quality products to be found in the US.

Fantastic jacket and customer service
Gorgeous jacket that fulfilled every expectation upon arrival. The arms were a little longer than I would like (but I also don't have the longest arms), they worked with me and let me ship it back and brought the arms back an inch. Fits like a glove now. Best looking jacket I have seen out there and even with the armor in, the jacket doesn't look overly bulky. I love how you can flip the neck fur up if its cold or down on a warmer day for more of a collared look. 10/10 would buy again from VaktareMG

Extraordinary craftsmanship!
Very impressed with this well made jacket! you can tell VKTRE Moto put a lot of time into the design and construction. feels good to buy American made. totally worth the price tag knowing its made in my hometown. i bought a size L and the cut is perfect. Ride safe!

One of a kind aviator jacket!
I made this purchase thinking it would make a great "city-only" jacket because normally leathers that look this good don't offer freeway/highway speed protection. Not the case! Fully loaded with the Knox armor they sell, this jacket feels like it can take on anything. With the supple leather used it feels like a second skin, very comfortable. If you're going to go higher speeds might as well ride with the armor, it's one of those flexible types that harden on impact like D3O, I say this because it integrates so well in to the jacket sometimes I forget it's even there. Huge fan of the double ended zipper feature, every motorcycle jacket should have one. It really comes in handy. The zipper is the best quality I've had on a riding jacket hands down. I wear this jacket frequently whenever I go out, bike or no bike. Only thing I can think of that may be a draw back is that the snaps need to be worked in a little, brand new they are tough to snap in and out. I noticed that after using it more the snaps seem to "work themselves in" and get easier. Weird. But its kind if a non-issue once I put some miles on the jacket. Looking forward to seeing more great gear from these fellows. -Daniel, Knoxville TN

Better than I could've hoped for!
I am more than happy with this jacket. It is very high quality both in terms of materials and craftsmanship. I actually had an issue with sleeve length (my fault) that Estefan was more than accommodating with. He was quick to fix it for me and it looks as though it never was touched. The jacket is absolutely worth every penny.

Bottom Line: This is a great looking, low profile jacket you can wear everyday that is also a rock solid, safe piece of protective gear. Form: This is a great looking jacket. Even with the optional armor this jacket is so low profile most folks never even realize I'm wearing protective equipment. I can wear it straight off the bike and into the pub without looking like a stormtrooper. The jacket is well built and looks great with casual jeans and can dress up with some slacks. Before picking this jacket up I read a review suggesting it'd be tough to rock a blue jacket as a daily go to. I can't disagree more vehemently. The blue colorway looks great on and off bike. It stands out from the sea of blacks, but certainly doesn't overdo it in any sense. If you're looking for a casual style that doesn't scream motorcycle, this is your answer. Fit: Off the rack this has a tailored fit that works perfectly for me (5'10", 170). I went with my suit size and, without armor, it is a perfect fit. That said, I did not plan ahead and realize that the shoulder armor takes another inch or two in the shoulders. Still a good fit, just a little snug in the shoulders with armor in. Even if the fit isn't perfect the guys at Vaktare are bomb for doing custom work to get the fit just right. Just ask, they've been incredibly accommodating with everything! Function: a motorcycle jacket should, first and foremost, keep you safe. This jacket definitely does. The thick wool outer shell, cordura lining, and armor inserts all combine to make a hefty and secure protective piece. This jacket can absolutely take a beating, or a lengthy slide down the tarmac. With all that, I am still comfortable riding in the 100 degree Southwest summer. I am hot when standing still, sure, but as soon as I'm moving this jacket breathes so well I hardly feel the heat. Out of the box the jacket was very stiff and the armor did not seat quite right in the internal pockets. After a couple weeks, however, I had finagl...

Happy with my purchase
This jacket caught my eye at a motorcycle show in New York. Top notch quality and impressive features! For me its always the little things that go a long way, here's what I liked: Double breast pockets - the more pockets the better. Center fold can expand to make room for layers. Fur is soft and kept me warm during cold rides. Good quality lining. Not the typical polyester material. Flattering fit. A solid motorcycle jacket for all occasions.

Slick wool flight jacket!
I enjoy the warmth and heavy duty feel of this jacket. Perfect for zipping around the inner city. I bought mine without pockets for armor as I don't usually travel at high speeds, the jacket feels sturdy enough to protect in a decent slide on city streets. Stitching is visibly heavy duty which means it won't fall apart. Big fan of the rich color- its even more gorgeous in person. It has a lot of pockets for miscellaneous items and the arm pocket helps for quickly stashing your wallet and such. Looks so good I'd buy it just as a fashion piece...but I love how it can do double duty and keep me warm/add protection whilst riding. 5 stars. A.K.
