I have the RGT Bond jacket and love the style. For UK it's more late Feb to June. To cold for winter and to hot for summer (the 1 day we get). I would suggest you try a Barbour Lutz. It's based on the Skyfall Bond jacket but without all the fancy trimmings pockets etc. For my money it's the best dog walking jacket I own. Still needs a warm sweater but lots of pockets and room.
Thanks mate, I''ve actually convinced myself to pick up the bond RGT jacket soon. I keep seeing it on people and it seems like the perfect spring jacket. The lutz looks decent though! Spot on!
A great looking jacket mate, thanks for the review. Exactly what I wanted. If you want an actual rugged jacket that is man enough for years of abuse you’d be hard pressed to beat Belstaff.
@@DanielG0m3z for me the sleeves are perfect size... But the jacket overall is a bit too roomier... Great if you like to layer it.. but I'll probably have someone slimmer it a bit in the future
@@alexdefaro thanks! I had an M size (unlined) that was too tight and short, just bought a lined one in L that should arrive soon... I hope it fits better
Nice review, but I'm not personally fond of that style. I've a Belstaff Trialmaster (great jacket) and a Barbour Ashby (ok/good jacket) which I prefer over this RT Explorer which looks more like an overshirt - strange styling, imho. The sleeves are ridiculous, and as you say it's a fashion piece with limited functionality. On sizing, many jackets come in small nowadays (it was the same with my two jackets above), so you need to order a size up.
Sorry, with regards to sizing. How tall are you. I do like looks of the jacket and I’m quite short about 5-8 just unsure if medium will be to small for me. Thanks
Hey Peter, I do like wearing one. Mainly out of laziness hah. I really have no idea on caps to be honest. I have a big head too so a lot of the Japanese ones don't come up to my size. What is this brand like? I'll take a look cheers!
I dont have IG. I get asked a lot but with doing the videos and work I don't have enough time to put in the effort. maybe in the future though. As for warmer shoes. I really only warm Nike AirMax 1 or Common Projects in the warmer months. I'll likely do a vid on those this summer. Thanks for the comments!
Hi Yifan, not really? Why does yours? Its only mildly waxed. Compared to say the supply jacket which is a lot more waxy. Regardless, if it is the wax, don't worry it fades away as you use it. Its meant to give it a little water repellent and hard wearing properties.
@@CameronO thx for the reply, I was asking because I know some really waxy jackets (especially those that are unlined) can be a bit uncomfortable to wear and I was just wondering about this one. This is something on my wishlist haha.

Agreed on the sleeves comment-I find that RGT sleeves do run a bit tight and short (although their shirts' sleeve lengths are longer)
Glad it isn't just me being particular :)
I agree 100% I had one rgt jacket & the sleeves were comically short on me

Great vid! It's good to find out about the issue with sleeves, before I go and try get one. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!

Hey Lawrence. I think you're the third person who mentioned Belstaff. I'm going check them out when shops open i think
@@CameronO they are well worth checking out

I got the lined RGT Waxed Supply Jacket this Black Friday and agree it's more of a fashion spring summer jacket. The design is awsome.
The lined one pulls me in more than the unlined. Is it warm and comfortable?
@@CameronO Really comfortable but not warm... Either you layer it (it's very roomy in the body ) or it's a spring summer jacket.
.
@@alexdefaro how about the sleeve length?

The jacket looks awesome.

Just subbed-- good reviews man!
Hey mate, thanks for the sub, really appreciate it.
Urgh, it frustrates me when reviews go up and brands are sold out of the item. Nothing you can really do about that though!
Hopefully they restock. They do have other colours. I wanted to wear it a bit to give my honest thoughts.
It’s now no longer on their website at all, so frustrating! I love the jacket!
I see you're partial to a baseball cap. Have you tried Ebbets Field's ball caps? Ideal if you like heritage stuff
Hey Peter, I do like wearing one. Mainly out of laziness hah. I really have no idea on caps to be honest. I have a big head too so a lot of the Japanese ones don't come up to my size. What is this brand like? I'll take a look cheers!
@@CameronO they make replica baseball caps from historical and lesser known baseball teams. There's an extensive range on their website. Nice hats imo
Do you have other social media such as Instagram or anything? Also what about warmer weather essentials shoes etc? Good videos cool functional style

Mate does the jacket feel sticky to the skin?

Defo fashion over function.
Agreed!
Not a fan, sorry. Looks like it belongs on Jason Voorhees.
