Shafted by Ebay Seller, Where to get a good jacket?

[NutsyUk]

Well Howdy,
I was looking to get a nice good waxed cotton jacket for the winter... And I found what looked like a great one ( and in all honesty too good to be true one ) on ebay...
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RkSports-Black-Motorcycle-Motorbike-Textile-Vintage-Long-Waterproof-Jacket/152139599012

Was what i ordered... The too good to be true part was that its 38 quid... The design in the picture looks great, and is clearly waxed cotton.

However. What I got was not the one in that picture. But another one the same seller sells... Strangely for about 70 quid.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RKsports-Vintage-Wax-Cotton-Waterproof-Motorcycle-Motorbike-Jacket-CE-armors/152871193939 <<< is what appears to have been sent to me.

Now how have I been shafted? You say, you might also say "but you got a 70 quid jacket for 39 quid...

Well shafted in a few ways. I didnt like the design of the other jacket, it was similar but to me a poor imitation, also regardless of the description and even the tab on the jacket... Its not Waxed Cotton, its fluffy and linting out the bag and if it is waxed there is a very very tiny amount... Nothing compared to the M&S autograth waxed jacket I have. Also it has that horrid rubber logo stitched into it as well.

Other issue is Im a 44 inch chest. On the one I ordered that makes it a 3xl (for some fucking strange reason) but on this jacket 3xl is for some one much larger. I know ive put on some hideous amounts of weight this year but damn Im NOT that fat!

TBH i should have known something was up when It didnt come in the post last Tuesday or Wednesday... I ordered it last week Friday, The description says dispatch within 1 day... So even with the bank holiday, and them sending at the latest on Tuesday I should have had it Wednesday.... I then looked up tracking. They only sent it out yesterday (thursday) lying about dispatching and such should throw alarm bells all the way...

Anyway consider this a warning to you all .. Stay the fuck away from the ebay user dipti8077

Now doing some googling... I struggling to find decent wax cotton/lining biker jackets with armour. Well not ones for under 200 quid. I would happily pay up to 100 quid at the moment for a nice jacket. But I just cant find any...

Anyone know where to get one?

I know its all about fashion, but a cheap jacket is a cheap jacket. I'd love to see it in a crash.

Sportsbikeshop have a nice range of wax cotton...

hope there is something to your liking...

[NutsyUk]

Thanks, I saw a few on there... Bit pricey still but at least its under 200 :p Thanks again

Also about the original ebay posting... I really really dont know what happened there, I know it said it was waxed cotton... It was the whole reason I was picking it. Even the photo in the listing shows a wax cotton jacket.

Just... odd.

i give loads of money to china... most of my electronics come from there :p

Well that maybe true, its a good thing ebay can force a refund. I already put in the returns request on the item not as described clause...

Go to a shop.

Look at the jackets and try some on.

Buy one which is a good fit and is in whatever style or colour you want.

Job done.

Recommended is no good if they don't fit you. Or if they cheap eBay shit that will fall apart if you ever crashed in them.

Once you've found what jacket you like and know what size fits you, there's nothing stopping you then going and buying it online rather than from Infinity.

Thought that's what everyone did tbh?? I only buy brand new lids and boots, rest of my kit is used. But yeah,
I'll try lids on at say Fowlers for example, take a phone pic of the lid and price tag and then I goes a bargain shopping.
Bought my Shark Speed R, Shark Spartan Carbon plus my HJC RPHA10 all in the same way tried on first then ordered
online for a saving on the local price. >£200 Lids are usually sent next day anyway so you don't have to wait much longer.
I save a LOT buying my other kit 2nd hand. Had some AMAZING bargains over the years. For instance my favourite
leather strides cost me just £5. Just got an IXON All weather armoured textile for £20, looks like it's been worn about four times.
