Title: Father Christmas early
Post by: Notty on Tuesday, 28 November 2017, 03:23 AM
Father Christmas just ordered this on the internet. One on FleaBay at £139 (X Display with some marks ) with 2 days to go and no returns
But found a Triumph dealer selling it for £155 with returns allowed (but advertised at £310 until Father Christmas put it in the basket!! )
Love Triumph clothing but not their bikes (Sorry Dave)

To ensure the Mugello jacket is perfect for warmer weather riding, the leather is impregnated with a TFL coating that reflects sunlight and heat away from the jacket.
*1.2mm - 1.4mm full grain Brazilian leather with TFL heat reflective coating
*Removable CE certified Knox® protectors - elbow and shoulder
*Removable CE certified Knox® back protector
*Leather flex zones for increased comfort and flexibility
*Comfort high performance stretch fabric panels for a controlled fit


*Removable quilted liner
*3M® anthracite reflective piping and panels
*Airflow Tech zipper ventilation panels
*Connection zipper for attachment to any Triumph jeans

Triumph stuff (as you say) Notty is pretty damn good - and that's a nice looking jacket. Got a fair amount of it myself now, and its quality gear (I'll forgive you you comment about Triumph's just this once Geoff  :rolleyes:  :whistling:)

of course  they have improved immensely but mine was a 1999 thunderbird brand new and wheels were rusting after 9 months, the dealer said oh they all do that so does our demo and triumph won't entertain warranty claim - years later bought a 2004 Bird and that kept breaking down but at least the wheels didn't rust as they had changed suppliers by then but this damaged my confidence in the brand.  :smile2:

Father Christmas dropped it off today - reindeer tooooo busy so came via Hermes VanMan - awesome quality  - Triumph web site stated XL is between 132 / 134 depending on style so i was a bit worried as my chest is 120 (48 inch ) and no returns on dealer ebay site - but fit is perfect - Mrs Notty insists its put away and wrapped for Christmas so can't wear it too bed !! :bugga:

looking for a new jacket for next winter. might try same as yours at triumph shop. removing triumph logo could be a task. my rjays is a great jacket but the inside/removeable bit a pain. arms get stuck etc. id rather just a jacket without the zip in bit. hard to find. even thinking about going back to a leather jacket for winter. my shark is a great summer jacket.

Have had many jackets over the last 45 years and without doubt Rukka textile are the best. Leather jackets are def Triumph, the Mugello jacket I just bought has the logo embossed so can't be removed but quality is awesome - and there is a Mugello jacket on sale in Oz ebay !!  :smile2:
