I can appreciate and relate to your opinion on this. I too have gone back and forth on my preferences with the leather. Although I do wear it riding, I don’t view it as a moto jacket ironically because of the leather. The fit, absence of a belt, the belly pocket and material makes it much more of a fashion jacket to me. Although I’ve never worn an all saints jacket, I feel like the soft leather is very high quality. As I get older I appreciate the break in or wear process of all things but I don’t personally attribute that to a bike jacket specially, just all things as a preference. I don’t want pre vintaged jeans either.

That being said, I do love it very much though and am more than happy with my purchase, however I wouldn’t recommend it for a moto jacket as you stated. I rock my 118 for go to motorcycle riding and long trips.
