I have another praise post for this jacket and the gents involved in bringing it to life.
I was in prep/panic mode for STLV and just to cover my bases, I ordered one of the competitors jackets, as I wanted to ensure I had one available to wear for the con. (Spoilers: the Big Effect Props jacket showed up with plenty of time to spare) I got the leather version of the Riker jacket from HitJacket, and maybe if I had not seen the BEP jacket, I would give it a more favorable review, but in comparison to the one under discussion in this thread, it pales.
The leather is of a much lower quality and is way thinner. Feels like it might weigh half of the other one. They missed A LOT of details that the BEP jacket captures, like the four way stretch components on the arms, the little flap at the base of the zipper, and of course the delta perfs in the leather. The delta and pips are not removable, and the pips are crooked AND in the wrong location. And they are inaccurate.
So yeah, I'm super happy I got the one that BEP/Jameel/Zlurpo put together and will sell my HitJacket asap.
