    Thanks for review Rico. This video helped me decide to buy a one. I have their best selling B-15. So far, so good. My major critique is BH comes with huge cuff openings. At first I thought it might just be my particular jacket or the B-15 design. But after seeing your video it seems huge cuffs that don’t hug the wrists are intentional. I don’t understand the logic since shearling is worn in the winter. Loose cuffs can mean cold winds blown up into your arms.
    Overall happy with the BH B-15. Shearling gives adequate insulation. You can get away with wearing nothing but a tshirt underneath. No sweater jumper required for those of us in climates with moderate winters
    BH positions itself as a luxury brand. I see them as a value brand too. reasonable prices for the quality and degree of customization you get

    Thank you for this video review! I made a review on the Buckley and absolutely love mine. Thinking about getting the Regis so this video helped a ton! Would love to have seen more of you wearing it and zipping it up all the way

      Glad you found it useful :-). Yeah I was looking at the Buckley as well, but ultimately went with this one because I already have jackets with a middle opening so wanted variety with the slanted one. I was thinking of doing a one-month-on review update so now I’ll definitely do that - subscribe to make sure you catch it :-)

I would love to see more of you wearing it, zipping it all the way up, walking etc. I am in two minds about getting this jacket since I am not sure about the size I should get. You have really good points especially about the pockets from the inside, and the colour looks so different from the brown they have on their website. Thanks for your reviewm very hepful indeed.:)

    Thanks for the review! Working with a natural product means each jacket can differ slightly as each skin can be different. We use the highest grade skin. Hope the jackets kept you warm this winter.

      Very understandable. It certainly did! Didn’t even have to make constant use of my usually essential roll-necks, except for on the coldest days (when temperature dropped below 0).

    For the lack of internal pocket problem, go to a tailor you trust, have them sewn 2 leather pockets on the inside of the hand pockets. now you have 2 hand pockets. and 2 more pockets on the inside that you have access to when you unzipped.

    • @ricoreviews4468
      @ricoreviews4468  Рік тому +1

      That’s a good idea, may well look into it. Still, it’s better for it to be done by the company and I’d also worry that it would add additional bulk, whereas a pocket around the chest is ideal in terms of keeping the jacket’s profile even when filled.

      @@blakehedley3858 hello :-). Still really loving the jacket, it’s my go-to! I’m thinking of doing a 6-month re-review when I get there and raising the rating.
      In terms of what would be helpful, I think a demonstration video for each jacket (so people get a feel for the look with different clothing and lighting) would be a good and fairly inexpensive start. I found it hard to choose between them with pictures alone.

      I found your company through UA-cam, but pade most of my research in English.
      Unfortunately, it's very difficult to find your company or products, and I found many small uk companies specialised in gloves, hat, or shearling.
      Your jacket look nice, i dropped you a message on Facebook for a jacket. Hopefully I have found my 2022 winter jacket

    Hi, thank you for the review! I'm on my way to buy one coat frop blake. Can you tell me if your jacket has a straight or curly finish on the whool?
    Is the wool really soft of a little bit scratchy?

    • @ricoreviews4468
      @ricoreviews4468  2 роки тому

      My pleasure :-). Mine has the straight finish, with really soft wool. I’d really recommend it, as it makes it feel a lot more cosy!

      I think we have a close personality as me to I look to very small details ;)
      At blake they told me curly finish is whiter (don’t really like the yellowish champagne color), but I am definitely looking for a very soft and thick wool.
      How did you choose between straight and curly, do you know what are the differences between the two option?
      I m looking for the archer bournville model.
      Thanks to your video it convinced me to consider this model as the picture in their website shows a very yellow wool compared to your video which has a really nice white cream looking. Considering regis an archer are made of the same skin description, it helped me.
      Btw do you have anything to say after wearing it for few months now?
      You mentioned you were going to make a video of the coat after several months of usage.
      Last question, would you agree to make a short video of the coat in a “daylight and shadow outside” environment as in this video electric light doesn’t really shows the right color of the coat. You said it was a washed brown when willing a deep brown, which is also my case. Don’t want to be deceived…
      Thanks a lot in advance!!

      @@mehdiflayelle hello again. Yes, I am very much an ‘attention to detail’ kind of guy!
      In terms of how I chose, I just asked which was softer and they told me that the straight one was, so I went with that. I really wanted a soft shearling feel, not that scratchy stuff which to me feels cheaper and poorer quality. I also went with this model because the way it opens and closes puts more of the shearling itself on show, which I think looks really cool.
      In terms of the colours, the fur is in my opinion more of a white-grey colour than white-yellow. So I wouldn’t worry about it being too yellow. In terms of the coat colour, it has since grown on me even more and I really like it now. The washed-out feel of the brown sheepskin doesn’t seem to be present anymore but I’m not 100% sure if that’s my perception or a change after having worn it. They did also say when I emailed them that there is sometimes variation between jackets even of the same type and colour, due to the natural variation between skins they use.
      I’m afraid I haven’t actually worn it that much recently, due to extreme heat in the UK over the last few months. I may do another review of it in winter and would be happy to do the short video of colours if you’re interested, though I’m actually abroad at the moment and won’t be back for a few weeks, unfortunately. Let me know if you’re still interested, though.
      I still very much recommend this jacket and if anything would only make my rating higher in a future review. The main negative point for me now is just the lack of internal pockets; I like pretty much everything else about the jacket.

      @mehdiflayelle 2 роки тому +1

      That's very precious. I have been in touch with Perri she is very helpful!
      I'll also go for the straight finish according to your comment. Yes inside pocket i wanted one also but the issue is that it will be visible in the skin so I have preferred to avoid the idea.
      Enjoy your trip ;l) and yes always interested in the video

    Does the lamb skin leather feel like it built to last? I tried a lamb skin leather at a similar price and it was too flimsy. Might have been that particular hide

    • @ricoreviews4468

      To me it does - the whole thing feels very well made and the lamb skin is pretty thick and sturdy, though obviously lighter than other leather. They also have a good returns / refund policy so you can try out without too much risk.

I bought a black Duffle coat from The British Sheepskin Company 7 years ago and it still looks practically new i’ get it out once the temperature will get to 5 Degrees Centigrade or below at any point of the day ahead of me.
