Men’s Coffee Brown Waxed Leather Cafe Racer Jacket

I do a Sunday ride out with a few mates most weeks, nothing serious, a couple of hours and a bacon roll at the other end. This isn't armoured and I'd never pretend otherwise, but for that it's been ideal. The padded panels at the shoulders and elbows mean nothing flaps and the short body doesn't bunch when I'm leaned forward. It was rigid for a fortnight and then gave. Five months on and it's unmarked.

Fit me first try and it arrived in three days. Firm for about a week and then fine. Worn it more days than not since it came and no issues.

I'm restoring an old bike in my garage which has no heating and a door that has to stay open for the fumes. That's four hours of standing still on a concrete floor most Saturdays through the winter. This has been what I've worn for all of it. It's had oil on it twice and both came out with a thumb. It took a fortnight to stop feeling rigid and after that it moved with me completely.

I volunteer at a beer festival every spring, three days setting up in a cold hall then working a bar in a warm one. This was right for both because it comes off in a second. It's had beer down the front twice and wiped off with no ring left behind. It had broken in well before the festival.

There's no inside pocket, which I hadn't checked before ordering. Everything lives in the chest ones now and they're deep enough for a phone. I'd have liked one for a wallet. Aside from that no complaints, the fit is right and it broke in within two weeks.

I work nights at a petrol station and Im out on the forecourt every ten minutes for something, so its a hundred short bursts of cold across a shift. Its comfortable straight away every time rather than needing to warm up. Fits my usual size and softened after about a fortnight.

The chest zips are properly deep, not the token ones you usually get, and the pulls are big enough to work without looking. Fits my usual size and it was firm for a fortnight before it gave. No complaints at all since.

It took closer to three weeks before it stopped feeling rigid, particularly across the shoulders where the padding is. It's excellent now. I nearly returned it in the first week and that would have been a mistake, but I'd rather have been told. Just be patient with it.
