Lewis Leathers is the absolute best. I don't understand why is there even need for this thread.
I guess it's almost a sin to say it here. They don't seem to get much love here. We have been here long enough to know what the 'standards' over here are. Lewis just don't fit well with many of the requirements, the hides that they use lack characters, the sharp but slim cuttings of their many patterns (don't work well if you have a beer belly), their lack of protections for riding, so on and so forth. Be careful that you are upsetting some die hard fans of certain brands of jacket.
I am a proud owner of their Lightning jacket, I certainly don't mind their logo on the chest, as a matter of fact, I do want to show people that it is a Lewis. And why not? Or you don't want you wife to know that your Veggie Tanned Dominator is £500 more expensive than her fur jacket? I also own Aero, Eastman, Vanson, Schott, Belstaff and various other brands of leather jacket, and the tailoring is definitely very good with the Lewis. They had a bit of a dip a few years back, probably because of high demands from Asia, but it looks like it is getting back to normal these days.
