What people say

Worn, and written about

Six winters on the bike and it has only got better.

Marta, Lisbon

Pockets where your hands already are.

Kofi, Hamburg

Bought one. Bought my brother one. Bought a third in case.

Jo, Utrecht

Sent it back for rewaxing. It came home with a new button I had not asked for.

Tom, Leeds

It smells like a boat shed. I mean that kindly.

Sara, Oslo

Rained on for eleven hours at a wedding. Dry underneath.

Dev, Bristol

The only coat I own that I would mend rather than replace.

Ines, Porto

My daughter has asked to inherit it. She is nine.

Paul, Cork

Heavier than I expected, in the way good things are.

Lena, Graz
