Oops - you are right. I was misconstured here thinking it was "Leather Limited". Having a few senior moments here it seems. Hard to keep all the names straight. I also seem to recall another similar outfit called Leather Loft. In any event, my apologies for mis-information on this.
This is a rather odd find to me. Quite nice, thick, broken in 4-5 oz leather with amazing grain and patina. Not my size. The front is rather fussy with the little pockets up at chest level and veritical features. However the sleeves, back and upper chest & collar above those "peekaboo"...
For folks in the USA - these boxes ordered through Staples have been a gamechanger for me. Simple, inexpensive and approprate for both jackets & boots. Plus - the Height of the box really affects shipping costs. For right around $1.00 a box, these are more than worth it to me...
My first car that I purchased on my own was a 1982 Saab 900 turbo. Purchased it in 1992. 5-speed, 8Valve head, Bosch LH-Jetronic mechanical fuel injection, and a fun if complex little monster. Got me though college with rather few issues, had a lot of fun with it too. No-one was ever...
Hope you all actually get that. Weather.gov has cut our forecast back to mostly rain, a little sleet, and then 1-4 " of snow. Oh well. we already have enough laying around here.
I actually really wonder how a Cordovan / Dark Blue two-tone jacket would work out? Say on a J-106 or King of the Road? Perhaps it would be really cool...

I bought one copy of Gear Patrol in 2018. To my shocked amazement; they did an in-depth tour of Horween for that exact issue. I still have the paper copy, here is the same article online:

One thing...
Perhaps not so much. I only have had one cordovan that I really did not care for - it was everything but basic "brown." otherwise, the Horween production method really almost adds to the unique character of the jacket made with either one. Heck even the black Highwayman on my back as I type...
Hello and Welcome to Fedora Lounge. That's a Premier-fit Highwayman. Have you ever tried on an Aero Highwayman? The Premer fit is very different. It is very snug-fitting. Being 6' 1" tall, 195 lbs I wear between a tag size 38 and 40 in the standard fit Highwayman, and at least a tag size...
