The Colonel Littleton No. 4 Trail Jacket, $550

http://www.colonellittleton.com/index.php?p=products&f=prod&cat=96&id=cltj

It's not horsehide (in fact, it's "washed sheepskin"), and for that reason looks lightweight and comfortable. As a reproduction, what are your thoughts?

Nice styling...like that yoke. I'll have one in goat please!

Or capeskin...such as it is. Is this substantial stuff? Rest of the lineup is purty at glance...

Looks good. But to draw an informed judgement I'd need more facts about the jacket. Sheepskin? How thick? For 550 beans I'd prefer a more robust hide.

I also notice it's imported. While I have nothing against folks making great products in other countries, I wonder where is it imported from. If from China or Pakistan, I'd just expect a bigger price break.

Again, 550 bucks is up there with Schott, Aero, and Vanson territory so the garment is going to undergo a higher level of scrutiny and be compared with those makers.

Excellent point that Captain Caveman made about expecting a price break if it's imported from China, Pakistan, and I'll add India to that list too.

I like the leather color of that jacket... not crazy about the interior lining color though.
