It depends.

Wile 90 bucks is a cheap price, it begs the question of quality.
What type of leather is it? Cow, Buffalo, deer? How think is it? Any extra at the elbow? Armor?
Is it a Jacket that is fine for looks, or is it built for riding.

There are a ton of cheapo jackets out there that look the part, but fall apart when you need to it to save your skin.

I believe I have the same jacket as pictured by 68B. It has a quilted, zip-out liner, extra leather pads at the elbows, padded kidney support section, side zip and snap/leather strap waist size adjusters, front and rear zipped vents, pleated flex joints where the sleeves join the shoulders, and two inside zipped slash pockets. There is no armor, but it is a heavy leather jacket. I have had it for a year and a half, and it is warm, protective, stylish, and has shown me no reason to doubt the quality of anything from Unik. When I bought mine, a local shop had it for about $210, but I found it in San Francisco at a leather shop along the Fisherman's Wharf area for $120 as I recall. It has been, bang for the buck, one of the best riding gear purchases I've made (and I've bought a lot of gear). I highly recommend it. Good luck!

Euro Ultra Naked Leather side lace, kidney belt (UNI-0305.00)


Mens Ultra motorcycle jacket. Riding thickness Naked Leather for protection as well as comfort and style. Side Lace , Premium hardware. Zipout liner, padded kidney belt.

this is the only info i found on it. CapMorganXL im glad you liked the quality of the coat. i was weary of buying it for $90, but i may buy another one this shop has that is a little heavier and thicker padding. i wore it around riding tonite with only a t-shirt on underneath, was about 20 degrees out and didn't get a chill at all wearing it.

I also have a Unik leather... I think it is or is very close to the one pictured. It is very heavy, with a removable liner. I paid $199. I think that it is quality, and although it's never been tested I believe it would do its job. I used to ride around on a thin, lame leather... and this feels a LOT heavier and better built. It must be about 10lbs?

Anyway, I like my Unik stuff... anyone else know and like Unik??

yep, that be the coat. i think its a very good quality coat, real heavy and keeps me warm in 20 degree weather with just a t shirt underneath. the leather is thick, not thin and flimsy. very stiff leather, needs to be broke in i guess....

I've got a pair of Unik chaps and they've given me good service...maybe not as high quality as the $300.00 ones at the stealership, but for $20.00 off e-Bay, I'm quite happy!
