Well padded, well made and the buckles are decently easy to do up.
I dyed this Jacket a light blue and its taken the dye well, its quite beautiful. The thread didn't take the dye (either synthetic or waxed), so be aware if you are going to dye this, you'll need to maille grease the thread lines so they don't show bright white.
