Verified Customer Reviews for Oxford Hardy Wax Textile Jacket
Our customers say…
Customers love the jacket for its stylish look, quality materials, and excellent functionality. They appreciate its versatility as it fits well on and off the bike and provides good weather resistance. However, multiple customers noted the sizing issues, suggesting to size up as the fit runs small, especially in the forearms. The jacket is comfortable, though initially stiff, and becomes more pliable over time. Some also mentioned the difficulty of fitting the back protector and the tightness in specific areas. Overall, the jacket receives high praise for design, comfort, and craftsmanship.

Oxford wax jacket
11 April 2025 by John
This is a fantastic jacket. I’ve been in the market for a wax jacket for a while, but didn’t want to pay for the premium brand.
I like everything about this, jacket, the style, fit, weight and a removable lining.
I’ve tried it in the dry in the cooler mornings and it’s kept me nice and warm, I think the lining will have to come out as we move towards the summer.
I haven’t tried it in the wet yet, but I’m sure it will throw the odd shower. I always carry a waterproof in my top box in case things get seriously wet whatever I’m wearing.
Great service SBS.

Looks cool, good quality

This jacket looks and feels good. Not removed the liner as yet, but it kept me warm in cold weather. The wax look is good, jacket is something you could wear to the pub or shops. Plenty of pockets, cuffs are lined and stop the draughts. All zips feels good quality. I went up a size to get best fit.

Nice jacket

Well made and stylish jacket. I've yet to ride in the rain so can't comment on its waterproof qualities. I will confirm what others have said in that it is sized on the small side, I'm normally an XL in clothing including my other motorcycle jackets and I've gone to a 2XL with this one and it's a nice fit.

Great prompt service from sportsbikeshop.
The jacket is very comfortable, good quality, very pleased with it. Like other reviews size up.
Shame you have to purchase the back protection separately though.

Hardy Jacket
28 December 2024 by Phil
I like the style and colour of the olive jacket. I measure 42" chest and the XL fits me well.
The sleeves are a snug fit and the stud fastener on the cuff are a bit fiddly but overall a good jacket.
Went on a 50 mile ride on Boxing Day with no issues.

Top Quality
23 July 2024 by Karl P
This jacket is much better quality than you expect from a jacket at this price. I have not used it in the rain as it is not really for this type of riding (that's why they make Gore-Tex jackets) But it is warm and fits the bill superbly and looks the business.

Nice Jacket

This is a nice well made jacket, smart, comfortable and warm with a removable quilted lining. I am a 41 inch chest and opted for the large and the fit is perfect.

Wax jacket
19 July 2024 by Chris
Excellent jacket. Looks good and fits well. Went up a size as I'll use all year and liner makes snug. If you want for summer only normal size is fine. Colour is good and hopefully it'll age well.

Feels and looks great.

Wanted a less 'technical' jacket for the summer and Oxford kit always delivers.
Good armour, looks great and all the pockets in the right place.
A good buy.

Great quality and fantastic value
24 May 2024 by Raymond L
I've always had textilex suits and fancied a change. I already have Oxford gear and have been pleased with the quality and price. This is really nicely made and suits my Moto Guzzi V7 850 Special. I'm normally a medium in Oxford's jackets but bought a large and it fits perfectly. Do size up! I haven't worn it in rain yet but it is a warm jacket with the liner in. I have worn it in warm weather minus the liner and it was great. Versatile, classy and great value.

Great fit
18 May 2024 by Pete M
I tried on many different jackets at SBS and kept coming back to this one as the best all round. Be prepared to go up a size though. I want to use mainly for the summer, so was glad to see how refined it looks without the liner. It feels the kind of jacket that will continue to mature overtime into an old friend.

Really like the jacket and it will probably be my new non-winter jacket. Was a bit stiff at first but seems to be getting better. Had it as my commuter for about 2 weeks.
Sizing, as has been mentioned, is way off. Not too bad around the chest but quite a slim fit jacket, too many pies have led to the inevitable conclusion and this is a much snugger fit than my previous one.
Definitely go two sizes up at least. Arms are tight with the thermal liner in, not too bad with it out. But the red liner securing strap likes to poke out of the sleeve with the liner gone.
I struggled to find the information when I was looking at this jacket but it does have a decent amount of pockets. None of them are big pockets but big enough for keys, wallets, phones, phone chargers, that sort of thing. 2 chest pockets, the zipped vents are big enough to act as small pockets, 2 hand warmer outside pockets, 1 napoleon pocket outside the zip but inside the button up flap, and 2 inside pockets.

Great Jacket
06 May 2024 by Chris T
I brought this jacket to wear with biker jeans in the warmer months as an alternative to my 2 piece textile gear.
Wore it for the first time today, it was 14° out & I had a t-shirt on under it and the quilted lining was in. I was comfortably warm. Probably could have removed the liner.
The fit is perfect. I'm 5ft 10in and 13 stone with 42 inch chest, size large is perfect. There's not much scope If you want to layer up under it in colder weather, which I have no intention of doing.
The quality is spot on.
I'd highly recommend this jacket.

I found this jacket comfortable, Nice and warm, I have not ridden in the rain yet so I can't comment on the waterproofing. It seems well made ..
Had to go a size up because the arms were a bit tight but I'm well happy with the styling, it goes well with my 06 triumph scrambler

Cant fault this jacket!
25 April 2024 by Phil V
I have been using this jacket for my daily commute for a couple of years now, and there's nothing at all I would change. Its warm, comfortable and looks good, with all the protection and storage you need. Its kinda heavy, but that hasnt bothered me. Lost its water resistance after a while, so I re-treated it and now its reasonably water-resistant, not at all water-proof I'd say. Great for the price, no need to pay twice as much unless you really just want the brand! ;-)
