Belstaff turned my bag into a jacket! | VLOG #119

This video is NOT sponsored in any way by Belstaff or any store. We finished our Christmas shopping and I tried on a Belstaff jacket. It's one I've been curious about for a while for reasons I explain in the vlog!

I have one. It's a bummer that they put a 1 way zipper on this jacket instead of a 2 way zipper like their older stuff. Besides this is a longer jacket so I expected them to put a 2 way zipper but they've decided to cut cost. One solution is to go visit a Belstaff store ask if they are willing to change it to a 2 way zipper.
2nd, the bi swing back on the back is not functional, it's purely decorative. But I might go visit a local tailor to see if they can do anything about it to make it more functional. 
3rd, I don't like how they change the bridle leather trim to cheaper leather. Again, to save cost if I have to guess. Belstaff has cutting corner ever since it's been bought and sold from 1 private equity company to another. Its been recently bought by a British chemical company from an Italian company. When it comes to fashion and quality, I think the Italians know a bit more than a British chemical company.
4th, they should've put a leather patch on the elbow and shoulder area to increase its durability, the canvas patch on the elbow patch is purely decorative. They've cut a whole in elbow and sewn a slightly bigger patch to make it seem like its 2 layers of fabric. But I you feel it, it is the same thickness as the rest of the jacket.
5th, they don't tell you what is the weight of the canvas they use of this jacket, it could be 20oz. You can compare it with older products from Filson to see what heavy duty canvas for work use feels like
