Great value retro style jacket
At first glance this jacket appears very much like the Spada Berliner leather coat / jacket. I’m lucky to have both. On balance I think the Berliner is a better jacket, but its retail price is about £330. The Spada I believe is an even heavier garment, better quality leather, with a more substantial lining which goes down the arms.My Berliner is black (bought used for £80) but I treated myself to this Aussie bikers jacket in brown last week. Wore it all day last Saturday during my day’s work as a motorcycle instructor.For the price, it’s excellent. The temperature throughout the day was between 1 and 8 degrees Celsius and the jacket was just right, wearing a thermal, and a thin fleece underneath. It’s not quite as warm as the Spada jacket, but as Spring & Summer approaches, this is a good thing. The lining in this brown jacket is very thin, and is just a gilet, not extending down the arms. Again, fine as the better weather approaches. I’d leave the thin lining in place, as it can be removed washed easily if you get a bit sweaty. The pockets are fine although the interior one has no closure. The collar and neck strap are better than the Berliner, and this Aussie bikers jackets has waist slots to put your hands in, when you’re standing around in the cold. The cuffs are nice and slim as well, easy to slip gloves over. As it’s waxed leather, it has the appearance of the old Belstaff waxed cotton trail master jackets. At present, water just runs off it, but I’m looking forward to treating it with leather balm at some point in the future. The supplied shoulder, elbow and back foam protection fits well.In conclusion, I’d say the Berliner is probably a slightly better jacket, and if you can get one for under £200 (yes I’ve seen quite a few) that might be the one to go for. But if you want a slightly lighter jacket, for around £130 this item is excellent.

Excellent Purchase
This is a really good buy.I normally wear Rukka or Klim. I purchased this for casual short distance riding. The jacket has exceeded my expectations.Leather is soft, yet more than adequate for a fall. Sizing. I am 5ft 9 or 178 cm and 98kg. I have a 108 cm chest and a belly. I ordered an XXL as it says up to 112cm, however it is tight fitting and does not leave space for a fleece. So just a shirt and it is tight fitting. I think you could definitely afford to size up.Mine did not have the protectors included. Amazon Customer Service sorted this out with a discount. Excellent service with Amazon. I have plenty of spare protectors. So standard protectors fit in the elbows and shoulders and do not take from the fit. The back protector is not standard sizing and is off by a few cm in length. So a smaller ladies back protector fitted with a little room to spare.This is a great similarity to the Belstaff. I have a Panther and I can assure you that there is not over 1,000 of a difference.This is a stylish jacket and could easily be worn without the protectors. The pockets are small and wont really carry much more than wallet and phone. There is a zip out insulated jacket a gilet and not up to much. So think of this as a mid season riding jacket.zips and buttons are of high quality.Alot of jacket for your money. The price to quality ratio is off the charts.Buy, but buy 1 size up.

Great jacket, just don't underestimate the sizing
This is a substantial jacket. With the supplied shoulder and elbow pads, and a decent back protector, mine weighs over 3kg or about 6.5lbs in an XL. Definitely for cold weather use, and that's what I wanted it for.The "standard size chart" shown in the advert is NOT correct for this jacket. It's sized strangely, in between UK and Asian sizes, and a "Large" is actually labelled as a 40" chest - although it's only just barely that without the lining gilet or back pad in. I had to send back an L and go up to an XL to get a 42", and even then it's rather unforgiving around the waist. So you'll almost certainly need to go up one size, and if you are mature-biker-shaped and/or plan to be wearing it over a lot of layers you might want to go up two sizes from what you'd expect, especially if you have any forward lean on your bike.As others have noted, the external pockets aren't massive, but you'll get keys or a wallet or smallish phone in them, and could stuff gloves into (but not fully inside) them, and the snap fasteners are secure. There's a moderately sized internal pocket too that will take a phone.The zippers are fine, but I might give them a bit of a lube. There's a decent high collar, but if you need it then you'll likely be wearing a thick neck tube anyway and it won't fasten over one. The stitching seems OK, but I haven't tested it in a slide or with extensive wear. Sleeve length is fine for bike use. The collar strap and belt have metal eyelets in the leather rather than just bare holes, which is a nice touch.The supplied elbow and shoulder pads are basic rubber, but fine. The back pad is for novelty purposes only. That seems to be standard for bike jackets, but that's no excuse - they shouldn't be supplying something with it that looks like armour but isn't.It's waxed or oiled with something, without feeling too greasy, and it has a decent sized storm flap, with secure poppers. It's resistant to light showers, but I can't speak to it being waterproof in any real sense.Overall I'm pleased with this jacket, but I have to ding it one for the parsimonious sizing that really needs flagged up, and for the novelty back pad. Just because everyone does it doesn't make it right.

Sorprendente
Molto bella cuoio pesante e morbido , eccezionale rapporto qualità/ prezzo. Le taglie sono un po’ piccole la XXXL corrisponde a una 56 che va bene per chi ha una XL se indossata con una giacca sotto . Da non perdere. È una giacca da moto che ho sempre desiderato, ma l’omologa/simile Belstaff non costa meno di € 1200

Schwere Kost...
Habe einen Fieldjacket für beinen Beruf im Aussendienst gebraucht, mit vielen innen und Aussentaschen.Wollte nicht ein vielfaches für Belstaff, Barbour & co ausgeben. Jacke kam nach 47std gut verpackt mit Protektoren und abnehmbaren Innenfutter. Schwere Qualität und dickes Leder- ideal für den im Moment angesagten Badboy Safari Look.Da gibts nur eines- 5 Sterne!
