Still kickin' it!
...BEWARE...!
I bought a Buffalo jacket to get me through the winter and the bloody thing leaks! At the end of the sleeves there are zips and velcro to secure - unfortunately, water gathers there and gradually drains into your gloves because the sleeves aren't waterproof where they meet the velcro! Even the drawstrings on the gloves don't stop it and, if you wear shirt and tie to work as I do, you'll end up with soaked shirt cuffs unless you roll them up before you get to work!
I do roughly 30K per year and I've never veered away from Belstaff gear until now...And I'll be veering back again VERY sharply, I can tell you! (Yes: I've tried gloves "under" as well as "over" the jacket, just to make sure that I gave the Buffalo gear a fair trial.) Verdict: it's rubbish. :bang:
Buy Buffalo? NO! Buy something else! :t
DA

Had my
Buffalo jacket for 4 years now still dont leak and when we went to Monza 2 years ago it pissed down all the way back and I was still dry and warm. Shame me gloves and boots were not waterproof :cry: :cry:
But then again my jacket dont have zips on the sleeves just Velcro. So I am quite happy with mine :beer:

...I hear ya, Cyclops! Seems as if they've "modified" the design of the sleeves recently. Unfortunately they've "fixed" something the wasn't broken in the first place - with absolutely disastrous results!
Belstaff, here I come! c7u8
