This is my replacement for a Wilson's G-1 I have used for over 15 years. The leather is not as heavy as the Wilson's, but it is also not as stiff. It is very warm when zipped up, and the collar is comfortable and soft. This jacket feels like a good old friend when you put it on, and if it holds up half as long as the Wilson's one did, it will have been money well spent. It feels and looks like it is worth 2 to 3 times the price, easily. It took me quite some time to find a suitable replacement, and this one looks like it is it.
