K2-K6:
I bought a Barbour  Beaufort jacket in 1977 not bike type but has a "poacher" pocket lower rear, zipped at both ends with waterproof lining for carrying the said poaching .... perfect for my regular copy of Motorcycle weekly newspaper on the way to work, Later the MCN too  ;D

Just folded not rolled, always kept dry after picking up from newsagents, to be enjoyed later.

Still got the jacket, another too  :) they last well and likely it'll sell for more now than I paid, especially with such a fine "patina" the old Bellstaff bike jackets are also expensive now, especially things like "Trial master" I think they're called.

All with bugger all insulation, buy a size up and use a jumper was considered advice.

The Belstaff wax jacket (NO other makes were available). Usually had a plug spanner shaped mark in one pocket and the outline of the spare spark plug in the other, almost worn through after falling off many times.  Put it on to feel the cold, removed for extra warmth.
