Product is a snug fitting jacket, SPORTSBIKESHOP exchanged it for me for a bigger size, great work by SPORTSBIKESHOP again. I am happy with the jacket, but size up.

Oxford wax textile jacket

I was looking for a textile jacket for a trip to Spain that wasn't too bulky and could be worn casually as well. This jacket ticked all the boxes, comfortable, plenty pockets, elbow and shoulder protection and at a great price.

I bought this jacket based solely on its looks and I’m not disappointed. I have a bike that is a retro so the gear I normally wear looks, well, a little daft on it.
This has the look of the old wax cotton jackets of my youth but a bit more stylish.
I’d read other people’s reviews on this jacket and noted criticisms but went ahead anyway.
I am for the most part very happy with the jacket but, as others have said the cuffs are a little too tight to get gloves under and conversely a little too bulky to get gloves over (mine at least). This may improve if the liner is removed but as yet, in mid March it’s too cold for me to give a verdict on that.
I also found the brass zips on the waist pockets a bit sharp on my fingers but this may ease with use taking the edge off then. Same with the pop fasteners I expect the use of them to get easier with a bit more use.
On a personal level I always struggle with the neck closures on jackets and would prefer that it was either a Velcro or magnetic fastener
I found the fit to be just right ordering my normal size.
I also found it warm enough, even in March, to ride with just at T shirt under (I did regret that after around 60 miles though).
It didn’t claim to be waterproof so I don’t expect it to be.
As I said it was more of a styling thing for me and on that score I personally think it’s spot on, even down to the period looking plaid lining on the collar. I’m hoping it will get the same patina the jackets of old got but even if not I’m happy with my purchase and, as always, the service from SBS is exemplary.

Been looking at one of these jackets for ages, took the plunge and ordered from Sportsbikeshop.
Came into store the next day.
Zips are good and plenty of pockets, removable thermal liner and overall a nice retro looking wax jacket.

I previously had the Richa version of this jacket and after a year or so the zip started to come away so I decided to go for Oxford this time. This feels like a much better jacket all round, more useable pockets, a better zip and still looks very nice. Amazing service from SBS as usual, thank you!

Really like this jacket it feels stylish to wear and fits really well. I am usually a medium and the XL was the perfect size. Have only worn it in slight rain so not sure about how waterproof it would be. Very warm and with a nice liner. Bought the back protector as not standard with the jacket.

This is a nice jacket. My first jacket as a kid was a waxed cotton one and I’d been wanting one for ages. It feels strong, it’s comfortable and it’s easy to get on. The fastening studs at the neck are quite stiff at first but I’ve got the knack of it now. I like the look and feel of it….its a proper jacket, lots of pockets. I went for the large (normally wear medium). It fits fine?
