By all means - take that leaf and run with it :)
Also been thinking that long strip of piping / felled stitching along the main zip is begging to be made of a nice contrasting leather….
I’ve been wearing both the JL in Vermont and the Premier HWM in CXL a lot since getting them, and gotta +1 this again.
Between the pattern and leather, the JL is WAY more comfortable-wearing of the two.
Here are few bonus shots of the JL in appreciation
Hello gents, I tend to spend my Lounge time over in Outerwear, but I do have one nice hat that gets worn on occasion. It’s new Stetson Open Road 6x I got back in October.
Here it is from last weekend. I don’t have the hat-centric photo down, but it’s not hiding either.
@TheDonEffect yes it was indeed nice, and I’m very happy to receive the remake which is MUCH more to my size.
With regard to Horween Vermont, you could say perhaps we’ve both seen the light eh?
I’ll post a few of version 2.0 from the WJAYWT thread here for consolidation purposes...
Thanks Tom! I can see it quickly becoming an easy go to jacket, and I do like the zip sleeves rather than the button / storm cuffs. Consider me a full convert to the highwayman club!
Thanks Torfjord! Honestly it feels a little "basic" compared to some of the more unusual designs coming out of...
Thanks man. I intend to wear this one down to the ground.
The JL remake arrived too but my time with it was interrupted. Version 2.0 fits a zillion times better, I got a few shots in but only just now had time to go through them.
Yes i do feel very lucky with the fit.
My only other...
@Marc mndt I’m not sure.
But knowing myself, if wearing it is something that I have to force myself to do, I’ll be happier moving it on rather than fighting it.
Thanks for your perspective.
I’m 5’9”, about 40.5” chest 170 pounds in this picture. I wear a 15.5 neck 33 sleeve dress shirt.

Friends,
I've had this excellent Hercules Halfbelt for about a year. Terry dated it early to mid 1950's. The leather is light and very pliable. Everything functions well. The wear and general look is fantastic.
Perhaps I have too much respect for its age, but I tend to treat it too preciously...
