Love this jacket
I'm 5'10" & 185lbs and bought the size 54. It fits fine and I paired it with a G2 in the back as well. The arms were a little bit more form fitting than the only other Dainese jacket I've got (a textile) but not to any negative degree.
The liner is awesome and really keeps the heat in during the colder rides and is super comfortable as well. I've only worn is once on a warm day and it was fine but I got a little warm after a while so Phx in the summer probably will not see this jacket used too much, but that's why I got a Dainese textile/mesh jacket anyway. The armor is right as it always seems to be with Dainese dear and there's no change here, solid feel all the way around and in the right places.
The jacket also looks awesome IMO with regards to its cut/shape and the feel of the leather etc. I love the small Dainese logo's on the shoulders. Very understated and very cool.
It's not cheap but it's a very solid jacket in all respects. It's looks great, feels great, fits well even with the G2 in it too and with the thermal liner in it's really nicely warm. I recommend it highly. Dainese makes good stuff and this is classic Dainese.

Great fit (after break in). Incredible style. Features galore!
This is by far one of the best jackets I have put on. When it arrived, it felt a little small, but after wearing it for a week, it fits perfectly now. The leather is as soft as you would expect from a quality product. The inner liner is great at keeping you warm in cooler temperatures.
I wish the elbow armor was removable as well so it's a little less awkward wearing it socially, but no one really notices, so I guess it's just me.
I can't really comment on durability as I haven't owned this jacket for long.
Lots of compliments about this jacket.
It's on the pricier side, but worth every penny so far.

Great Jacket
This jacket seems overpriced. Yet compared to really good motorcycle jackets that perform well and look great, this one stands out in the crowd! It is beautiful. With the liner it is a bit tight, but it is comfortably warm. The high collar even helps when there is cold temperature to contend with. I have even taken the liner and armour out and have worn it out on the town!

Stylish and comfortable
I agree with all the good things already mentioned about this jacket so I'll just mention a couple of things specific to me.
The sizing was good: I'm wearing a size 50 (10 up from jacket size) fits nicely, even with the small Forcefield back protector in place.
Air flow through the elbows and shoulders helps keep sweating down to a minimum when riding, even in 90+ degree heat: keep the cuffs open and you get additional air flow.
I have one disappointment with the jacket: The stitching of the zipper on the jacket-trouser fastening system started to come loose after only a week of wearing. Given its purpose and the price point of the jacket I expected a lot better.

Great Jacket!
I wanted a protective jacket that looks good and the Dainese Greyhound doesn't disappoint. The leather is as soft and shiny as advertised. It's definitely a stealthy jacket for the street - the branding is kept to a minimum, although I'd prefer absolutely no branding.
The jacket fits just right - I'm 6'1, 195 size 54. I couldn't imagine wearing more than a t-shirt under the jacket with the liner zipped in. It keeps the heat in fairly well.
The price is a bit more than what I'd would've liked to have paid, but once I put the jacket on, the price didn't seem to matter that much.
Overall, the Dainese Greyhound is a stylish jacket, great on and off the bike, a bit pricey, but well worth it.

Awesomesauce!
I bought this to spoil myself and it didn't disappoint!
I own 3 other Dainese jackets: the Mugello STR, Zen Pelle and Portland 2 so I have a good range of jackets to compare the Greyhound Pelle to.
Style: This jacket is absolutely beautiful. Understated and nicely appointed with small Dainese details that add to the overall character. The leather is supple with a really nice texture and sheen. I really like the minimal branding with the understated stitched Dainese name across the back and small metallic demon logos on the shoulders. It goes perfectly with the style of my naked bike (Triumph Street Triple R).
Fit: I'm 6'2" at 175lbs and wear a EU 50 in all my Dainese jackets. The Mugello is a tiny bit large, the Zen a tiny bit small and the Greyhound fits allllmost perfect. The sleeves, chest and neck are all perfectly snug with the inner liner zipped in. The only thing that's off is the main section length which is a touch short but only by about 1/4". It still covers my belt buckle when I'm on my bike so it's easily overlooked.
Warmth: I took a 2 hour ride around in 50-52'F weather and, with the liner zipped in, this jacket kept me toasty warm. What I really like is that it fits so well that it stays in place at all times so I don't have any wind finding a way in. The wrist area of the inner liner fits super snug which effectively keeps wind out of the sleeves when wearing short cuff gloves. I feel like I could ride comfortably down another 10-15 degrees which I'll be testing as it gets colder in the next few weeks.
Typical of all Dainese gear, the quality is superb.. what I really like about the Greyhound is you really do get what you pay for. When you first see and hold this you'll immediately recognize and be overly satisfied with the quality of every inch of this jacket. It blows all my other jackets away.
Additionally, it's so comfortable it definitely works as a casual leather jacket... just pop the armor out and go. I'm pretty sure I'll be wearing this jacket everywhere all winter and can't wait to see how it performs when it warms up to 100'+ here in Texas.
Hands down the best jacket I've ever put on. If you can afford it, buy it. You won't regret it.

Great looks
This is a great looking jacket with the G2 added offers great protection and the comfort is tops a great colder weather jacket 50s- 60s where a lot of air is not needed.
