Not leather, but feels appropriate for where we are right now.

I saw that video on their Instagram.
My first though was that the buttons look the same as you'd see on any no-brand jacket.
Otherwise it looks terrific and I'm tempted myself. Once I've read your verdict.
Vanson have some limited edition stock colours in their Roma hide at the moment.
This Comet looks phenomenal in "rust/driftwood tan".

The sleeves would be too short for me, by perhaps three quarters of an inch.
But it's not my jacket so it doesn't matter what I think. Or what anybody else thinks except you.
Just wear it if you like it and don't if you don't.
I don't keep fully up to date with this thread so apologies if this has already been posted.

I would prefer if the jacket didn't have epaulettes, but cutting off the epaulettes doesn't give you that.
It gives you a jacket with the epaulettes cut off.
I forgot in my earlier post; I also wear a Pando Moto base layer under regular trousers. The PM is essentially the same idea as the Bowtex stuff, and combined with my Knox base layer top I can ride inconspicuously (but safely) in anything I choose.
I've done my stint of commuter riding in all weathers, and now in in my mid fifties I only want to ride for fun in the sunshine. So no waterproof textiles for me.
I do wear full kit though whenever I ride, as a compromise with Mrs Barnabus, she was not impressed when I got knocked off and...
I've just ordered some new boots from Jones The Bootmaker.
I know they're not anything "special" but I liked the look of them and they're on sale at the moment.
I was going to say "I'm back in the Helikon M-65", except I'm not "back" at all. I've worn it literally every day since I got it.
