Disclaimer: I haven't ridden in this jacket so that limits the breadth of this review. I returned this jacket b/c it was too small. I'm considering trying a larger size.

This is a beautiful jacket. I like it in person more than I like the photos online. It's heavy weight, though I don't know if that makes it much warmer than my other riding jackets with removable liners. After removing the liner of this jacket, it still feels heavy. I've never owned a waxed canvas jacket before, so I have no idea whether weight translates to warmth. The weight of the jacket gives me the sense that this isn't breathable, but again, without riding in it I really don't know.

With the pads in, this is unmistakably a moto jacket. Removing the pads makes this a truly fashionable jacket. I'd fit in wearing this in a metropolitan area or bar hopping in Alaska. You're really getting 2 jackets in 1.

Using their size chart, I ordered a size 6. I'm 5'7", 130 lbs, and have an athletic build (strong, broad shoulders and otherwise pretty slim). My measurements are 34" bust, 27" waist, 37" hips. The jacket fit fine in all those places, but it was far too small in the shoulders, and as a result the sleeves felt really tight and short. One size up might do it for me.

Maybe worth mentioning that I have a very long torso (28" from groin to shoulder) which limits the jackets that I fit into. This jacket fits totally fine.

On the negative side, the lining was difficult to remove because the cuffs are tight and it's difficult to locate the black hook/loop system. The sleeves were a tad short on me, which isn't usually a problem with jackets.
