lining) will keep that slightly waxed look.
One of the things I really like about this jacket
is that I never get super hot and never get too
cold during the winter with the Outlast liner in
place, and it’s cool in the summer with the liner
removed. It breathes well, and is comfortable to
wear on the bike. The attention to detail is superb,
with tartan panels on the Outlast thermal liner,
quilted shoulder panels, YKK zips, leather piping
on the cuffs and collar, and brass popper studs.
Unlike most motorcycle jackets, I’ve ridden to meet
friends in the city and it doesn’t look out of place
on a casual night out – thanks to the vintage-style
look. Oh, and I think I mentioned, it’s got that very
retro waxed cotton smell as an added bonus.
