Jacket had a strong chemical/ leather smell when I took it out of packaging but dissipated by the next day. Jacket was too small for me in the chest area so I returned it. (Im a size small, 34DD) I ended up finding another one I liked more. Jacket does feel a bit cheap -but you get what you pay for.  if you are looking for a deal and don't want to pay hundreds for a genuine  leather jacket, this is it. It does run small through chest area so order up a size.
