Produced by Merlin for the BSA brand, the new Empire jacket is made from Halley Stevensons 12oz Scottish wax cotton for a traditional look, along with a Reissa waterproof membrane for modern performance. A removable 150g thermal liner is provided to make the Empire a year-round proposition, and it is finished off with a Marton Mill tartan trim, BSA-branded snaps and an embroidered BSA logo. To make the jacket CE-approved it is fitted with D3O level 1 shoulder and elbow armour and there is a pocket to take a D3O Viper back protector. Pockets abound, both inside and out, including the traditional four patch pockets with a flap and stud closure and hand-warmer pockets. It comes in a choice of classic black or even more classic olive colourways for an SRP of £349.99.
