The '74 Scuftuf Jacket

Slipping the jacket on for the first time in the home and an immediate 100 mile or so ride out was shear pleasure. The quality of the leather, finish and construction is sublime. Same goes for the iconic Goldtop plush interior. The sturdy zips are buttery smooth from the off. Studs work perfectly without having to fiddle around fastening - one sign of the excellent craftwork. The cuffs are not too tight.

Goldtop’s comprehensive sizing guide on their website is a very useful tool. I have an 50 inch chest with similar portly 48 inch midriff (17 stone weight and 5’10”:height); yet the jacket fitted comfortably even allowing for a thickish mid-layer and base layer. I ordered a 52 inch to allow for my portly shape, this multi-layering for colder temperatures and a slightly looser fit which I prefer with my leathers. There are no hand warmers but you can always tuck your hands into the good size bottom pockets if it gets that cold.

Keep in mind this is a sturdy relatively heavy jacket (no venting) which you would expect with its 1.4mm thickness black aniline cowhide leather. Having said this, its sturdiness build inspires a sense of a high level of protection (I ordered the optional back armour which fits perfectly) but doesn’t feel heavy on and offers flexible movement in riding…giving that ‘passive safe’ element on top of its AAA rating.

This is one classy cool looking jacket for sure and well worth the money. As I state in the headline, why wouldn’t you want to own one if this is the classic retro-style you’re after! Goldtops usual high level of service was there with the secure packaging and two working days delivery from order placement. Highly recommended.

This is the warmest leather I’ve ever owned.
So completely comfortable that once I’m wearing it I don’t want to take it off.
Money well spent.

Slightly longer than the usual leather jacket. With plenty of pockets. If you have long arms like me go up one size. I bought the back protector as well.

I enjoyed visiting Gold Top and got great support and advice. I can only praise the excellent customer service.
The Scuftuf is a fine jacket, well made, with a quality feel and it looks good. It is different from other bike jackets and stands out for that reason. I would say if it had a zip that could be opened a little from the bottom, it would not bunch up at the front when riding and would be perfect. I also find the neck a little tight. I know thats a personal thing but I am not a big bloke and would like a little more room to get a silk scarf comfortably round my neck.
( I am sure it will give a little with time)
Tiny niggle, it would be good for me if the suede material around the neck was not vivid blue like the lining but rather darker. But maybe I am too much of a poseur and some folks will love it! Thanks Gold Top, it's a quality product.

Bought a 74 scuff tuff and the quality and suppleness of the jacket was excellent.
This is my 6th purchase from Goldtop but won’t be my last.
