Belstaff Waxed Cotton Jacket

[Paulb_imp]

Just wandered the Triumph showroom, have waxed cotton clothing.
Motorcycles too!

I find myself spending way too much time agonizing over a new motorcycle jacket. I think waxed cotton is the answer for a more three season riding but if I go down I think I would prefer having an Aerostitch jacket or leather on my body. I am not totally convinced wax cotton is that great for abrasion resistance.

I had a Belstaff years ago and it ripped up the front next to the line of the zip during a very slow speed 'off'. I was riding a Yamaha SR500 and the frame spilt near the headstock and warm oil covered the jacket and my clothes beneath.
