link?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Genuine-Maison-M...item33629f21d4 I feel like I saw another one that more closely matched, but I can't seem to find it in my links/posts. I guess this is what happens when you overdo eBay, you start making auctions up in your head

I kinda like the Dunhill one that Forward has. If you're a small, you're in luck.

I prefer the Aston, sorry. It's less expensive as well.

It's quilted but from Belstaff, the model is called new redford.

Is there any difference in that from the regular Redford? It might be the lighting you've got because the photo looks really puffy. If it's the standard Belstaff redford then it's a great jacket and those are just ****** photos or its not fitting you right. Also, are you sure about the authenticity? Because there's a lot of good Chinese knockoffs of these, which could explain why it looks odd to me. As to people's opinions on the redford, the belstaff is a love or hate it thing on sf, based on past thread. I'm personally a fan but I'm also a biker and get great use out of them.

I don't think there is any difference, some stores label it as new redford and other as redford I believe it's the same. I wore a thick sweater and a shirt under it so i think that's why the jacket seems puffy, bad lightning and my crappy 1.3 mgp web camera dosen't help either.

I don't know if i made the right choice when it comes to the fit, I'm 6"1-2 and around 180 lbs and I bought a large, it fits close to the body and sits well on my shoulders but the arm, especially around my biceps looks loose to me.

I bought mine here

Ah, ok. Yeah it's the sweater, I have to go XL on belstaff's if I'm layering underneath and I'm 6'2" 200. I can do the large with just a light layer. Isn't the Redford pretty well insulated on its own? You could also consider the roadmaster with the matching quilted vest (Belstaff body warmer gilet), it snaps into the roadmaster I believe so you can have the layering look and warmth and snap it out for warmer months.
