It’s not a reflection on Royale - I think they did a great job of offering an affordable and screen accurate version of the original, but I’m not that impressed.
It’s rather short so your pockets and their contents will get soaked. There are snaps for a hood that isn’t available. The material feels flimsy and kind of plasticky - definitely a world apart from the heavy waxed canvas Sylkoil and Thornproof cottons Barbour get from British Millerain. Overall I’d say it’s not very practical and probably wont stand up to much serious wear. On the plus side, the slimmer silhouette is excellent and it is very lightweight and wouldn’t take up much space in a suitcase at all.
Again, I’d have the same reaction to the Barbour, do this isn’t a slight on Royale at all.
