Oxford Hardy Wax Jacket Review

Oxford Hardy Wax Jacket Review - By popular request here's a review of the textile jacket I have been wearing this season. Not only have I found this jacket from Oxford to be comfy and practical but I think it looks great too, I've even worn it when I'm not out on the bike. If you fancy one checkout www.sportsbike...

Gloves are the last on, and the first off with me, so fastening the collar would not be an issue.

[@Vic-ng8if]

Just bought one tonight. Great, well fitting bit of kit. I've a Belstaff from the early 80's as well and I love the thing but I'm always re-coating it. Great that you don't have to do it with this and also have a decent liner. I'm using my old army waterproof under the Belstaff at the moment. Cheers for the vid.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

You're welcome!

[@girlinagale]

Getting really fond of my Hardy, I put Furygan D30 armour in and an Oxford slim back protector. I've worn it a lot over this winter in my car to sort of wear it in. I thought maybe I should've got a size bigger but it's perfect actually. I've ridden in 1°C and found it warm. Now it's Spring I've taken out the inner liner and opened the zipped vents and it will function very well for Summer riding. I love the look and style, exactly what I wanted. Good pockets. Only shoulder zip vent on one side, t'other is the velcro patch, slightly asynchronous but lovely jacket.

[@chr15b]

Another great review in the TMF Archive! These have increased in price a little over the last few years, but I've bought one.

[@brighton_dude]

I aspire to having a waistline of sufficiently small circumference that I can wear something from the current Belstaff range however if I ever achieve this objective I think I'll have a look at this one as well. However I think the Belstaffs are more to my taste, but only just.

[@michaelwilliams3861]

I have the BELSTAFF BROOKLANDS BLOUSON, a similar looking jacket, but £495 and my best peice of clothing.

Man at C&A. Male model now as well. Looks great. Oxford do some decent stuff

Good review. I have just bought this jacket from Sportsbikeshop uk. Normally £189.99 they are selling at 20% off. £151.99 a saving of £38. Happy New Year to you. - and me.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Nice! It's a great jacket too - very pleased with mine...

[@DJShadow1966]

Damn, and I always thought it was an original 70's/80's Belstaff! Nice but bit dear for my budget, as I have fully protective gear plus leathers. Nice video anyway, RSM8

Have just bought a similar jacket from Merlin. It has the option for a airbag back protector. Would be a good one to review.

[@shmac96]

Just now seeing this! SMH! What a lovely piece! Sold! Thanks for sharing! Cheers!

[@dynamotightstar3472]

I have to say that out of all the retro style jackets this offers the best look for the money. It's down to about £130 now too which is good.

[@pauls6157]

[@Yelwas]

its not compulsory to pop out and buy everything....or maybe it is

[@user-ck6kq8zl2i]

I have the same jacket and I tried to put in a back protector into it. And although you can access the inside of the jacket at the back, there was just no way of actually securing the protector in place. It was just loose and not held by anything atall. So really I can only put elbow and shoulder stuff in it. Unless I'm missing something. It is however a nice reasonably lightweight jacket.

[@pistolpete6321]

Great review! Any chance you could do a review on waterproof gloves that you feel work well?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes I am working up to that!

[@Bornie205]

Great review mr TMF. I do something similar with the Wolf Spirit leather jacket. On bike off bike it’s brilliant. I’ve recently added a helite turtle air vest to make up for any safety deficiencies. Well worth a look. All the best

[@Vitaminj1973]

Is this the "Olive" colour, or the "black"? I ask because some customer reviews claim that the black is more of a brown color. I would like to get the colour you have there. (Edit) I see someone has already asked this, and that you have answered. I think I may buy this.

[@johnwebb6489]

Just bought this jacket in black. Got it for £151 off Amazon. Well worth it I am very pleased.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

[@user-qd6cs6rv2d]

I have just re waxed mine as it was like a sieve the other week.Hopefully i have done the right thing.

[@mattcero1]

As far as the neck snap goes, snap it before putting your gloves and helmet on. Another awesome review sir. You and that kid from Canada give the best reviews, please know. Did you say what size you wear in this jacket? Thanks again!

[@gearjammer3688]

I brought the Richa Scrambler jacket, very much like this one. Very cool, very waterproof too. Had to stump up another £15 for the back protector though. Still love my aged Frank Thomas Defender jacket best though and I feel as if I'm being unfaithful for not wearing it.

[@JamesTaylor-tm8ye]

Thanks Andrew I’ve been looking for ages for a jacket to wear with my scrambler ... this is the one 👍

[@twogotikitouring6940]

Nice review TMF and a great looking jacket. It’s great when you can find a jacket that works as well on as it does off the bike which helps when touring to cut down on luggage. Off to have a look at the TFT screen this morning at my local dealer (Cannon) after watching your review yesterday. Keep up the good work! David

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cheers David - Best leave your wallet at home!

[@twogotikitouring6940]

TheMissendenFlyer The thought did actually cross my mind! Just back from the ‘Toy shop’. What an awesome display it truly is. The colours are so rich and crisp and easy to read. FYI I asked about interface with non BMW Comms and apparently early issues are being remedied with software issues as initially it was only designed with the BMW Comms in mind. The best just got better! Poor piggy bank 😂

[@JohnBurnet1]

Really does look a great jacket and just the job for a casual look if you go for an evening out on the bike.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Exactly!

[@bvalex2112]

Nice Review- I have the Merlin Yoxhall- but might have to pick up this Oxford.

[@davegreenslade4539]

bvalex2112 hi would you recommend the Merlin? I was tempted to buy a jacket and trousers but bottled out 🙈I bought Alpinestars textiles!

[@bvalex2112]

Dave Greenslade I would recommend the Merlin Yoxhall- It's a fantastic jacket! Picked mine up at Urban Rider in London.

[@turtlepowersf]

Dave Greenslade i was extremely happy with my Merlin Atlow....for about 3 days. First off i noticed it was extremely greasy. There was even grease soaked into the box it was shipped in. It got grease on my hands, my bike seat, and it would probably begin to seep into my jeans so i would wear my cheaper jeans until some of the excess grease wore off. i wasnt able to wipe it off but it was definitely there. then on my second ride out, the button completely popped off the collar, so now i must return it :-( to begin with, the buttons were not very strong and they were very easily unsnapped. im definitely concerned with the quality control at merlin since then, and now im looking to replace it with something else. Likely the triumph/barbour collab jacket or the Oxford Bradwell, but neither have a lot of info online. I really dont want to spend the money on a Belstaff but i cant have a greasy jacket with broken buttons!

[@Yelwas]

Nice looking jacket, like the belstaff trialmaster I had in 1970

[@terryjackman]

I have exactly the same one for my Ducati Scrambler Flat Track Pro. Like you, I also wear it as casual off bike. Also managed to get mine as part of a 3 for 2 deal at my local Jordan Bikes where I got my £120 casual boots for free. Win win all round 👌🏻👍🏻

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Wow - nice deal!

[@jamesgoodwin2450]

Very trendy,and a cool look for the pub scene

[@jimjoelliejack]

Got one yesterday, £130.00 at the moment from sbs. As soon as I put it on outside the shop it started to piss down, rode 20 miles home and it rained continuously, l was bone dry . Very stylish jacket.👍

Brilliant!

[@jimjoelliejack]

It would be good if they did trouser in the same materials

[@JakeStrada]

Lol, just looking at getting one, now up to £240

[@weemark67]

Gee was this really 6 years back. I like the look of this jacket, recently bought a adventure jacket Richa infinity 2. It’s too long for my short size, plus you get a draft in the chest area. Just a pity you didn’t show the pockets. As I like a pocket, just inside the zip at chest height. And how it looks with lining out. 6 years too late, to comment, I guess.😊

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Never too late to comment!

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

Bought one after watching your review, love it. Btw, I asked you on one of your other reviews about Triumph Street Twin vs Interceptor, appreciated your comments, and promptly bought an Interceptor. Thanks

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

How are you getting on with it?

[@ianhughesroyalenfield]

TheMissendenFlyer absolutely love it. Bought without a test ride as we were in lockdown. Just talking about how much it has impressed me (even at running in speeds) makes the hairs stand on the back of my neck. This is high praise considering I have been riding for over 40 years, and have owned many different bikes. I have fitted a set of Scorpions, which sound awesome in my opinion. I record all my rides on my bikes to share with my wife as she can no longer ride pillion, and upload to my KZbin channel for any other interested parties to “endure” ha ha. Fantastic bike. The Hardy jacket really suits my Interceptor too, if I am not careful I may be getting trendy lol. Ps, you might want to have a look at my channel, onboard footage of my 1980 Yamaha RD350LC as well !

[@infernalcontraptions]

Great review as always - many thanks for providing hours of quality biking experiences, its become a healthy addiction (although the wife disagrees). My only comment regarding the jacket is that i have a similar one but wear short gloves to avoid the faff. Different jacket (Belstaff Crosby) and different seasons for longer gloves.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yeah, maybe I need to get me some shorter "retro classic" gloves.....

[@davidoakes7117]

Really nice jacket but ... the back protector "pocket" isn't a real pocket that holds the protector in position like my other bike jackets. The back protector is only held in position by Velcro which is disappointing and could come loose in an accident

[@mickmorgan5104]

Hi, young man great looking jacket, 10 out of 10 cheers Mick.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

So are you just Susan at weekends then Mick?

[@splodge5714]

Like the looks of it. Maybe a bit too late in the year now, wait for spring. Was it waterproof in wet Wales?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I would call it more shower proof - OK in light rain but a deluge requires an over suit of some kind is my thinking (to be fair I've not tried it without an oversuit in a deluge). The jacket is surprisingly warm, I'm still using it and its about 6 degrees C here today....similar thermal properties to a leather jacket with a liner....

[@candylel5369]

is it a bit tight about your mid-section?

Having too many bikes means you need a lot of clothing. Riding the wrong style of clothing on a particular bike is criminal. Hard to believe you filmed this over 2 years ago. Time flies! Does it still fit you as you are more svelt these days?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Would you believe I changed it this week (for another similar jacket - basically the updated version from Oxford) because I'm now way too small for the Hardy!! ....may do a review of the new version in due course, they do look great these jackets for sure and I loved my hardy, gutted that I got too small for it (along with most of my wardrobe)....

[@alexmorgan3435]

[@johnwebb6489]

Is that the Olive green or black, I can't tell from the pics ?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Olive green is what they call it (looks brown to me)....

[@saddle8bag]

Nice looking jacket. Generally, I find that motorcycle gear is something that appears to be getting done worse and worse as time goes by. The rubber protective bits are fine, but many other considerations seem done poorly from this rider's perspective. I have a Victory leather jacket. I got it because I owned a Vic at the time and they had it in their shop. But I didn't buy it for that reason though. I bought it because it had full length vented zippers front and rear. In the mornings I can throw an electric jacket under it and be toasty. In the afternoon I can keep on going comfortably in the heat by throwing the electric jacket in my tank bag and unzipping the vents. That was a real big deal commuting for work. Finding a jacket so well designed is very difficult. Mine looks like it's been thru war, but I'm not sure I'll ever find another as versatile to replace it. It has the same problem with the wrist snaps as yours, but I either wear gloves with large over gauntlets in the cold or gloves with no gauntlets when it warms up so there's nothing underneath working against me as I try to snap it together. Biggest problem with leather and nekkid bikes are bugs. When textile gets nasty, nothing more than throwing it in a washing machine will bring it back to new. With the leather, I have to get out the saddle soap and remove the sticky little carcasses one at a time...

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes agreed all round....and I'm like you, once I find some kit that works, I tend to stick with it!

[@nickcalnephone]

Nice jacket, I like the length and the styling. I only have one motorcycle jacket and that’s my Belstaff wax Crosby. Wax jackets are better quality than they used to be. Oxford look like a good brand, their locks always seem to get a bad rap from the biking community though for being low quality.

[@maxflight777]

Richard, agreed. (The Oxford soft luggage, I discovered, leaks) , however you can't criticise all of their products because of this experience. I have an Oxford heated vest with 5 heat settings. Love it to bits !

[@richardcollins586]

Max Flight nobody mentions the apparel on the anti Bike theft protest sites on FB and I’m sure it’s quality. Its the locks that people have a right moan about. Bolt croppers go through them like a knife through butter!

[@paulharrison8155]

Good review and a great value, good looking, jacket Totally agree re the press studs. They are very annoying and extremely fiddly to use with a gloved hand. Why the hell Oxford have gone for press studs over Velcro is beyond me? Velcro is good enough for Rukka afterall. C'mon Oxford. Sort it out on the Gen 2 version I managed to get mine from Infinity Oxford for £152

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes velcro is defo the way to go on biking jackets I agree....

[@Tom-jc2fq]

Great jacket which I've commented on before in a previous vid (no homo).The biggest appeal to me is that you don't walk into a bar, house party, shopping mall looking like a Power Ranger. It's the kind of jacket that doesn't look out of place, if not actually quite trendy. Unfortunately for me living in Dubai, it's just not practical with the 8 months extreme heat per year. Cheers TMF.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Actually with the liner zipped out it makes a great summer riding jacket. Living in Dubai it's just as well you are "no homo"!! :0)

Slightly off topic - Duke denim products. Advertised as a UK brand but appear to be made in China. Just received the Duke black denim jacket I ordered off of Amazon. Shipped from Carlton, Barnsley to my surprise. Slightly larger than what I anticipated but the next size smaller Wrangler product was definitely too small.

[@mikestewart7322]

Yeah that is a nice jacket TMF. Seeing the recent Wales tour, my personal opinion, not necessarily shared by others, is you seem a bit under protected for riding the GS. I would never ride my Tiger 800 XCA without the adventure suit and proper touring boots. I have got summer gloves but that’s as far as I would go in compromising protection. I do have a Barbour style leather Triumph jacket and biking jeans, ankle lace up boots and they are very flexible to use but only on the Scrambler. Each to his/ her own and agree the Oxford Hardy is a nice jacket for a reasonable price. Cheers👍🏻🏍

[@paulduhig7131]

Mike Stewart I agree, it's a bit of an American saying I believe but it's goes along the lines of all the gear all the time. We all have horror stories but I never ride without a proper back protector even in the 40+ Aussie summer days. Nice jacket TMF but not enough in the way of CE protection for me.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Well I think the level of protection is the same whether I'm falling off a Triumph Bonneville or BMW GS! I agree we all make a choice, for me as long as it's proper motorcycle kit (which this obv is) then I'm happy with the risk....but of course we all make our own choices! Thanks for watching....TMF

Hi there, thanks for the great review. Iis yours the olive colour currently available?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes I think it was....

[@fiwheatley3248]

Looks great, any idea of the length from bottom of collar to hem, as I am 6ft plus !!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

No, I have no idea, it is longer at the back to cater for your position on the bike...

[@johna6968]

Not my kind of style but smashing review. Always fastened gloves over the top of jacket sleeves never the other way round

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

You're either an innie or an outie....

[@splodge5714]

Innie when it rains, outie when its dry and cold.

[@DukeDyson]

Nice review chap, how is the length at the back, I have a couple of jackets that if worn riding my SV1000 leave my kidneys a little chilly :(

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Hey DD! Actually it is longer at the back for exactly that reason - I should have mentioned that. Hope you're well? Not seen/heard from you for a while??

[@DukeDyson]

Cheers for that. I'm never that far away :) Take care

[@mattgolding7557]

Hi, is it waterproof after a lengthy ride in the rain ? Tia

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

No…

[@matthewburgess6898]

Hi ya great channel have you done a review on the rst motorcycle battery heated gloves plz

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

No I haven't...sorry!

[@matthewburgess6898]

[@Davethebluessinger]

£101 0n Amazon now if not SBS have it at £139.99 and will price match! ask me how I know....

[@bornagainbiker2806]

Amazon must have cottoned on to this as they're now up to £200 :-(

[@palantir135]

Looks great but I doubt it will last more than a few seconds when you fall and slide over the asphalt.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Well it is designed for just that job - not that I'm planning on testing it....

[@turtlepowersf]

How many times do you plan on crashing and sliding?

[@motoray1973]

I believe the jacket size (from the comments) was a medium--what's your height/weight? Have decided to get one but trying to sort M vs. L. I'm 6 ft, 180 lbs., 42 inch chest.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

5'8" and 12.5 stone...

[@hoojamaflicks]

to tmf and anyone else who has this jacket - how does it stand up to getting a soaking? I don't mean so much whether it's waterproof, but more if it deteriorates the outer material and it's finish.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I've been wearing mine in all weathers for pretty much 2 years now - no visible deterioration of anything - love this jacket, comfy, works well and looks good....

[@Asdaasshhh]

Aloha, how do you care for this jacket? Are you able to put it in the wash? Thanks 🤙

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Well it's wax covered so not sure about that.....

[@torqueofthedevil8145]

How’s the sizing on these jackets? Thanks for the review, very useful as I’m going to buy one.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I find the sizing perfect - as normal!

[@torqueofthedevil8145]

@@TheMissendenFlyer Thanks, one last question is your jacket Black or Olive?

[@MatBettinson]

I've been meaning to ask. What's the bike making the sound in your logo/intro thing? Some stock sample or?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

It's a stock Triumph Street Cup - Sounds nice eh?

[@MatBettinson]

It really does!

[@TheHarleyGuy]

How do you compare it with Marlin Burton II ?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Err - no idea - not come accross thosebefore...sorry!

[@jonnyd8603]

Great video friend any idea where it’s made?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I suspect Pakistan or similar - British company though and love my jacket..

[@tedge19]

Love your videos do you still have to re wax the oxford jacket??

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

No it’s not really a wax jacket….

[@ODanboy]

Great review👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+ODanboy Thankyou

[@Ainsworth-Rider]

bit late for me this review I bought a RST Classic because I thought the Belstaff to expensive how wrong was I £170 for the RST and it's not even any good to use for going to the pub, sleves are to long when not on the bike . Oxford here I come :)

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes I reckon this Oxford one is a winner for the bike/casual mix.....

[@Yelwas]

sleeves are too long... that is not a negative, it's a sign its been designed for a bike

[@0YouCanCallMeAl0]

Hard to believe they put their own logo on a Velcro, so you could take it off. Love companies like that!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

+0YouCanCallMeAl0 Yes cool feature - funny thing is I rather like the Oxford Union Jack logo!

[@splodge5714]

Could only be a British company using the Union Jack as a logo that would do that.

[@subocito]

What size are you wearing, and what is your chest measure? If you don't mind me asking. And is the liner through the arms aswell or just a vest-type?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I have a medium, no idea on chest size and the liner is arms as well....

[@subocito]

Ok, then I'll go with a size Large. Guessing that would be needed for my 190 cm

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

...great jacket - love mine (don't forget to use my link too! ;0)
