That's a kind of padded area that dips down fairly low when you're sitting down, presumably to help stop the air from coming up inside the jacket from behind.

As to the back logo, that's truly a matter of taste. I'm normally an anti-logo person. But I hang out with lots of Harley guys, wearing lots of Harley gear, and the logo is a sort of good-natured in-your-face.

That aside, it really is a good jacket.

I have the Raptor and love it but I'm not sure when it's cold. Someone here said to layer. Does that really work? Seem a lot a air flows through...

I also have the summer Blousen. It seems that's warmer than my Raptor. And I love the logo on the back, but that's just me.

What is Tritex PU Fabric on the Hoxton? Love the look of it. Seem like leather.

I have a Hoxton. The fabric is like a very light leather in appearance tho it's probably what we used to call PVC. It has a heavier leather strip down the arm (the blue bit) and the logo on the back is also leather. It has the Union Jack on the right sleeve and Triumph, Made under Patent oon the left.

Supposed to be waterproof but haven't tested it, I would think it would be OK in a shower but wouldn't hold out a downpour.

It's windproof though and has a nice mesh lining and I've worn it a lot in what we laughingly call summer here in England.

I think the retro look is great with a Bonnie.

Cheers

-Update- The jaket came in to day and I was very impressed when I saw it and tried it on. The dealership had the Raptors but not the Rochester. I ordered the Rochester in the size that the rapter fit me best. When I tried on the Rochester it seemed to fit me better.
The back logo is not as obnoxiouse at it looks online and the build is great.
I must say that the jacket looks better on me than the model triumph used. Over all I thinks its the best looking jacket I have ever owned, motorcycle or not. Now If I can just get ahold of my bike I'll let ya'll know how it works.

Ok, this may be a bit picky, but I noticed that the Union Jack on the sleeve is in accurate. The diagonal stripes are centered and not offset. I would excuse such a thing from an American company or a Chinese company, but a British one? It seams to me this would be the equivalent of omitting a couple of stars or have some number other than 13 stripes on the American flag.
