Verified Customer Reviews for Oxford Hardy Wax Textile Jacket

4.9
242 reviews
Our customers say…
Customers love the jacket for its stylish look, quality materials, and excellent functionality. They appreciate its versatility as it fits well on and off the bike and provides good weather resistance. However, multiple customers noted the sizing issues, suggesting to size up as the fit runs small, especially in the forearms. The jacket is comfortable, though initially stiff, and becomes more pliable over time. Some also mentioned the difficulty of fitting the back protector and the tightness in specific areas. Overall, the jacket receives high praise for design, comfort, and craftsmanship.

Comfortable Classic
05 May 2025 by Greg
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?

Oxford wax jacket
11 April 2025 by John
This is a fantastic jacket. I’ve been in the market for a wax jacket for a while, but didn’t want to pay for the premium brand.
I like everything about this, jacket, the style, fit, weight and a removable lining.
I’ve tried it in the dry in the cooler mornings and it’s kept me nice and warm, I think the lining will have to come out as we move towards the summer.
I haven’t tried it in the wet yet, but I’m sure it will throw the odd shower. I always carry a waterproof in my top box in case things get seriously wet whatever I’m wearing.
Great service SBS.

This jacket looks and feels good. Not removed the liner as yet, but it kept me warm in cold weather. The wax look is good, jacket is something you could wear to the pub or shops. Plenty of pockets, cuffs are lined and stop the draughts. All zips feels good quality. I went up a size to get best fit.

Nice jacket

Well made and stylish jacket. I've yet to ride in the rain so can't comment on its waterproof qualities. I will confirm what others have said in that it is sized on the small side, I'm normally an XL in clothing including my other motorcycle jackets and I've gone to a 2XL with this one and it's a nice fit.

Great prompt service from sportsbikeshop.
The jacket is very comfortable, good quality, very pleased with it. Like other reviews size up.
Shame you have to purchase the back protection separately though.

Hardy Jacket
28 December 2024 by Phil
I like the style and colour of the olive jacket. I measure 42" chest and the XL fits me well.
The sleeves are a snug fit and the stud fastener on the cuff are a bit fiddly but overall a good jacket.
Went on a 50 mile ride on Boxing Day with no issues.

Top Quality
23 July 2024 by Karl P
This jacket is much better quality than you expect from a jacket at this price. I have not used it in the rain as it is not really for this type of riding (that's why they make Gore-Tex jackets) But it is warm and fits the bill superbly and looks the business.

This is a nice well made jacket, smart, comfortable and warm with a removable quilted lining. I am a 41 inch chest and opted for the large and the fit is perfect.

Wax jacket

Excellent jacket. Looks good and fits well. Went up a size as I'll use all year and liner makes snug. If you want for summer only normal size is fine. Colour is good and hopefully it'll age well.

Feels and looks great.

Wanted a less 'technical' jacket for the summer and Oxford kit always delivers.
Good armour, looks great and all the pockets in the right place.
A good buy.

Great quality and fantastic value
24 May 2024 by Raymond L
I've always had textilex suits and fancied a change. I already have Oxford gear and have been pleased with the quality and price. This is really nicely made and suits my Moto Guzzi V7 850 Special. I'm normally a medium in Oxford's jackets but bought a large and it fits perfectly. Do size up! I haven't worn it in rain yet but it is a warm jacket with the liner in. I have worn it in warm weather minus the liner and it was great. Versatile, classy and great value.

Great fit

I tried on many different jackets at SBS and kept coming back to this one as the best all round. Be prepared to go up a size though. I want to use mainly for the summer, so was glad to see how refined it looks without the liner. It feels the kind of jacket that will continue to mature overtime into an old friend.
