Whoa this b-3/d-pocket is definitely the coolest of this style I’ve ever seen.

Cool piece!

Found out about them after someone posted an interesting jacket in the classifieds. Really like a lot of their stuff. They also do 40s style wool sport jackets.

Seems like some of their offerings are (or were?) made in Pakistan rather than Italy. I’d be curious what the deal is there.

Hi MrFrown,

I’m Marco co-founder of Shangri-La Heritage, nice to meet you.

I already replied to the other thread because I wanted to shed some light on the points touched in that discussion regarding our jackets.

Those made in Pakistan jackets are actually the first samples ever made for Shangri-La Heritage, we met these manufacturers in a leather trade show in Italy back in 2016 when Daniel (the other co-founder of Shangri-La Heritage) and I didn’t have a clear idea of which characteristics our products should have had, we didn’t have a company, we didn’t have an e-commerce...

We talked to them and we wanted to see how they worked, so we ordered a bunch of jackets as samples. When the jackets arrived they were actually good, we sent them to the first retailers we contacted at that time because we needed to get some feedback.

In the meantime we figured out better how we wanted our products to be and which kind of values we wanted to deliver with Shangri-La Heritage, so we ditched the Pakistani and we kept looking for Italian workshops that could produce our jackets, and eventually we found it. Since then, every leather jacket we make is Hand Made in Italy in a family run workshop in Lecco, Northern Italy.

You can see the actual people that work there following this link https://www.shangrilaheritage.it/craftsmanship/ and I would be more then happy to make whoever of you guys wants to visit the workshop, it’s address is: C.so Emanuele Filiberto 74, 23900 Lecco (Italy).

Please let me know if you need more information!

Cheers,

Marco

Thanks Marco!

I did miss your response in the other thread.

Does the same shop handle your leather and wool offerings?

Sarebbe veramente un piacere di visitare il workshop :)

I would love to go when travel is easier. It is about an hour from Malpensa as far as I can see.
