Customers praise this jacket for its stylish appearance and build quality, highlighting its corduroy lining and detachable thermal liner for versatility.

Customers appreciate its waterproof features despite some concerns about pocket sizes and the neck strap. Overall, it’s a recommended, well-made jacket that performs well both on and off the bike.
Great looking jacket, usually take a large but ordered XL which fits just right. Haven't tried in any adverse weather yet.
Great warm and well made jacket
Stylish
Water proof what rain I have been in so a great thumbs up from me
Would buy again.
A superb retro jacket, stylish and comfortable with beautiful design touches.
Great Quality at a fantastic price point.
Well made and sturdy. Size is good. Fits really well over my Dainese airbag vest.
Ottima giacca, ben fatta e rifinita.
Come da indicazione ho scelto una taglia in più e veste molto bene.
Ha l'imbottitura interna e le protezioni staccabili, è arrivata in pochi giorni, ben confezionata e protetta.
Per me è davvero bella, unico neo il peso un pò eccessivo, ma considerato il prezzo mi ritengo completamente soddisfatto.
Inoltre nella spedizione era presente un voucher di £75 per l'acquisto scontato di vino, grazie.
Great price. Top customer service as usual.
Went one size up on the jacket thanks to reviews and a great fit. Well made and stylish item. Neck buckle bit of a style gimmick I think.
Lovely and warm with plenty of padding.
I have been riding motorcycles since 1968 and the only jackets of choice back in the day was a dependable wax cotton jacket . Now skip forward several decades and the original idea is still with us . The construction has improved vastly but the design is still the same . Check out Steve McQueen back in 1970 and he'll be wearing something very similar . Many clothing companies produce a similar jacket , some good , some ok and some are in a league all of their own, I'd rate this jacket as one of the best . ...Oxford products have maintained their 21st century promise of producing high quality gear at an affordable cost ...The quality of this jacket is second to none , a jacket that is so well made , so comfortable and fits like a glove . I'm 42' chest and 5'-10 and it's perfect in every way ...Buy it now before they all go and at this price it's a no brainer . NB Recent massive storm that lasted many hours I was watertight no leak's - Top tip If you don't like the neck strap , the jacket has been designed to remove it and the collar stands up alone when zipped up ...My preference totally.
Lovely, warm, stylish jacket in a superb subtle red colour. Fantastic cross-stitched detailing on shoulders and elbows makes it very handsome. Slightly small sizing, but I ordered one size up and it's perfect. Am I gushing too much? Distinguished Gentleman's Ride here I come. But also used it in the rain and windy conditions and it's excellent.
Unbelievable quality jacket for the money. Very happy
Fantastic looking jacket and warm. Quality seems good and a nice fit.
I bought this to wear on my scrambler. Comfortable with a detachable lining. Pockets stay dry even in a downpour. Waterproof with a storm flap and not too long on the bike. Great quality for the price.
Really comfortable and supple, and great looks
Bought the X-Large as I'm between l and X-Large but it was too tight on the arms. SPORTSBIKESHOP exchanged it straightaway for a xxl and it's a perfect fit and feels really good on.
Really good jacket and a really good company with excellent after sales, thank you
Great in colder weather and warmer days with the inner removed. Stayed dry in some fairly heavy rain which was better than expected.
A really good quality jacket, fits nicely and no uncomfortable areas. It looks great and suits the look I was after. Well padded and has a removable liner for extra warmth. I love it!
No complaints, looks good with or without the armour and is very comfortable both on and off the bike. Stood up well in a light shower, fit is true to size and it's had a lot of compliments. Very happy.
Very please at look and feel of jacket when it first arrived and speed of delivery excellent. Worn jacket twice now in dry weather, fit is very good for my build as have large shoulders and neck (2xl size) and it has kept me cool without lining in during the hot weather. I feel comfortable in the jacket whether riding or just walking around. I've tried to fit a back protector from my other jacket but can't get it to sit right or I've missed something. Overall very happy with the Prezzie the better half brought me and the price was amazing, would highly recommend at this price and quality. Thank you

Traditional styling with contemporary design. This classic-styled wet-waxed cotton jacket uses traditional materials and manufacturing techniques but hidden beneath the old-world look is a hidden layer of modern technology. The Holwell is produced by British Millerain, a company which harks back to a day when goods were transported by wind-powered ships. Their sails were made from cotton which was waxed to protect against the ravages of the sea; the material consequently found its way into the clothing which sailors wore to protect themselves from the same weather. Respectful of the material's heritage, Oxford's designers have employed traditional tailoring methods to assemble the outer garment. For example, pockets are pleated in order to lie flat when empty but provide space to expand when full. The collar and accompanying (removable) belt are designed and cut in 3 dimensions, rather than as simple, flat panels; the resulting fit is just perfect. The labour-intensive triple-stitching employed in all the key and critical impact areas are both pleasing to the eye and highly protective. The result is a highly protective jacket which looks and feels great. Inside, it has a breathable membrane for added protection against the weather and a classic Oxford lining. The collar features a rolled neoprene finish and corduroy facing on the inside as do the cuffs, adding to comfort levels. It has a big YKK No10 zip at the front, handwarmer pockets and a short connection zip for adding pants. New Oxford Heritage press studs feature too. CE Level 1 protectors are at the shoulders and elbows as standard and there is provision for an optional back protector sold separately. The whole jacket is CE approved to level A.
