I bought a jacket from the Triumph clothing stand at the NEC Bike Show last November & it rapidly became my favourite casual jacket - unfortunately it's now been stolen in a burglary from my girlfriend's house. The police would like a picture of it in case it turns up in one of their raids on known crims houses, but I don't have one & can't find it on the 'net anywhere. I'll describe it as best I can & if it rings a bell with anyone, could you please help me to identify it?

It's a Triumph labelled jacket made from some kind of heavy woven cotton type cloth - almost canvas in my description. It had the Triumph logo across the back of the shoulders in outline stitching only. It had a zip up the centre ( as opposed to diagonally over to one shoulder ) & a double press-stud fastening on the round neck band. The wrists were finished with a narrow band of leather with a press-stud fastening & a zip opened the wrists wide if the press-stud was undone. The front had two 'slash' style pockets on the stomach which were zipped & secured with a press-stud on a strap. The left breast had a small Triumph logo - again stitched only in outline & I think another pocket with a horizontal zip across the top. Inside it was lined in a blue nylon material with the Triumph logo in the fabric. It also had an inner zipped pocket each side of the chest. It was a 'bomber' length jacket & was adjustable at the waist. I'm sure it was part of the Triumph range a couple of years ago as I seem to remember trying it on at my local dealers at the time, but it's no longer in the range so I can't identify it.

Just remembered - it was intended for use as a bike jacket because it was treated to be water repellant & had pockets for soft armour. Gotta say - i'm still more comfortable in leather on the bike though!

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback both of you. Went to my (not very) local dealers - where i'd first seen the jacket - for parts the other day & they still had a couple, so splashed out £50 for another!
