Like Steve McQueen

I wore this jacket to Berlin and got so many compliments (I pretty sure they were compliments but I don't speak German). People asked me where I got it.

Superior Quality

Jacket arrived in just a few weeks and arrived just how it was ordered. Size is a little larger then I thought but it ends up working. This is a lifetime purchase item and you won't regret it.

Best Purchase Ever

I love the soft, comfy inner layer that this jacket has. The racing jacket is very stylish. It is very west coast-Californian and I get tons of compliments when wearing it. This is my second jacket with the surfNyl material, and the first one is still going strong after 3 years with nearly no signs of wear. Love the jacket, no complaints.

I love my new jacket. It fits perfectly and is exactly what I was hoping for. Plus your staff in customer service was fabulous. I got the wrong size jacket - based on the online measurements - so I requested the next size up and your team replaced it with no questions asked. Bravo! I couldn't be happier. Thanks Birdwell!

The price tag for the jacket which was on the jacket was 200 yet I was charged 225. I’ve already submitted a review to Birdwell regarding this matter.

Update: no response from Birdwell even after sending the picture of the price tag attached to the jacket that shows $200 …wondering if they’re gonna do anything about this??

Stunning red, white and black racing jacket

I have always loved this Birdwell jacket ever since I was a kid and saw surfers I looked up to wearing it. When it finally became available again I just had to have it. I'm not disappointed it's perfect in every way. The improved zipper is great. The shipping was very fast as well.

Great jacket

Living in Ventura County it’s never really cold enough for a heavy jacket. I tend to overheat in anything more than a flannel shirt. This jacket is perfect. It’s not too heavy and perfect for early the morning chill by the water or just being out and about. It’s worth every penny. You know you are getting quality with the Birdwell brand. You can tell as the jacket ages with wear it’s only going to get better. I’m 5’ 10” and 185lbs and a size large was a perfect fit.

Better than I ever Imagined

The Lemans appeared in my size on the website after two years of waiting It was not getting away this time. Let me tell you it was worth the wait it was delivered lightning fast however I now feel like I should buy another one why? Because its cool as **** and the best thing in my wardrobe. If your thinking about getting the Le mans just do yourself a favor and buy it you won’t regret it.

Birdwell Racing Jacket

I wanted to let you know that the jacket is a fantastic addition to my wardrobe. I'll definitely will be wearing it to the next Coffee & Cars or Broncos & Bagels event I attend. The overall fit and craftsmanship are outstanding.

I also noticed that you've partnered with several car dealerships. I'd love the opportunity to be involved with your team, particularly in a global marketing role. If you have any current or future openings, I'd appreciate the chance to discuss how I could contribute.

Thanks again for such a great product, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Got my son the blue racing jacket a few years ago and absolutely loved the look of that thing, so I decided to get the brown one for myself. Classic styling. I love owning quality clothes, and Birdwell does it better than anyone.
