Yes I have one. Bought my first Belstaff when a 17yr old (a long time ago). That one was obviously made in Britain. My present one which I bought about 3 years ago was made in Treviso Italy. As far as quality goes mine is just as good if not better than my original - and has some armour which is in itself an improvement.
They have gone up in price since I bought mine and are very expensive IMO.
But if you like them........ It is the most waterproof jacket you can get - I've tried other expensive textile jackets which are supposed to be water proof but not found one that lives up to the billing - maybe I was unlucky?
Keep a Belstaff waxed and it will serve you well.
Off road - well be prepared to sweat.
Winter riding get yourself some good thermals underneath, layer up and its fine. Treat it as being a outer layer only when it really gets cold.
