Not much is known for certain, they seem to have operated out of New England Massachusetts for a time, probably from around the 1970s-1990s, don't seem to be around now, and no one knows why they have two different spellings, or if there were two different companies making identical jackets with near identical names, or what the deal is. Of the examples I've handled Natel/Natal are just a little bit heavier/thicker and are just about as solid as you can get. They are built like tanks, with some of the thickest leather you'll find on a jacket. Other jackets may look "better" or more refined, or feel more comfortable, or look cooler, but I'll hold onto my Natel jackets as long as they fit. Even the heavier weight W-D jackets from the pre-80s aren't quite as thick as a Natal. (Cribbed from TFL)
