Looking at this summer jacket...
https://saltflatsclothing.co.uk/collections/mens-jackets/products/by-city-mens-teneree-venty-ii-mesh-textile-jacket?variant=15353119178861
looks nice, but I never heard of By City or saltflats clothing...
And when I google this jacket I get only a few random small shops I never heard of.
Anyone know of them?
Is it legit?
Or is it some ultra cheap chinese gear being touted as made in the EU? ____________________ Yamaha FZ8/Fazer800 (split headlight one) 2014, gingerly getting used to the massive increase in HP and not killing myself in the process! That was easy to get used to.

True that. But looking around, it appears it is certified (as a mesh jacket could be).

Interestingly, the first search item on Google when looking came up with the Bike Shed in London. Seems they're doing their own range of gear and they don't specify the safety ratings, either. How hipster

The By City site states they're out of Spain and at first glance you'd say they've got premises:

But they're all a bit hooky for me, on a jacket that isn't at all cheap. I bought a Weiss mesh for less than half that, more like a third. |

Randomly, I was just watching a motorcycle YooToob channel I follow occasionally and By City came up. They're stocked in Urban Rider in London, which is a very reputable place, so I guess that takes away some of the nervousness. |
