Most of their leather production goes to Buzz Rickson these days I think they probably do one or two 'Sugar Cane' branded leather jackets a year at this point, I have a Sugar Cane Indian jacket as well and it is 'Made in the U.K.' not sure where or by who precisely.

Welcome to the lounge Buick.
That’s a very good looking Highwayman and a great color.
“Incorrect” sleeve length?? Not at all. Correct would be what looks right to the wearer and more importantly what feels right to the wearer.
Rolled denim jackets, was how it was done back in the day for some.
Funny how the “feel” of sleeve length rarely gets mentioned here, yet if off kinda ruins the feel of the whole jacket.
If it feels right…it is right.

Experimenting with the Graphite App with my US Made Co jacket.
Thanks much! It really grows on me. Pleasure to put on. Very easy to wear, despite the apparent snugness. Wore it today with a fairly chunky hoodie amd had absolutely zero issue.
If it would grow one inch in length, I’d never take it off again…
Thank you @AbbaDatDeHat - I appreciate the welcome and the sage words. It was a minor niggle that, although I felt it was a good length for me, that I might be breaking a sartorial ‘rule’ about cuff length that I wasn’t aware of. Nice to hear some pragmatic and supportive replies here. There’ll always be someone who sees it differently, but I’m okay with that.
That is something special. Any more details on this one?

Fit is perfect
Can i ask your height and weight and which size you chose
Not on the website yet. Did you purchase from Schott brick n mortar?
The jacket is limited to 100 between the Schott stores the nyc store is holding a bike riders event on Tuesday which includes the sale of the jacket and a screening of the movie it also has an optional belt and collar available next week
I picked up a size large I’m 5 9 1/2 and 215 pounds
It has a 25” back
26 front
About 19 shoulder and about a 23 1/4 chest
26 on the sleeve
Nice supple steer hide like the 519 but a little thicker

Nice! Schott did all the jackets for the new movie Bikerriders coming out next week.
Tom Hardy wears your jacket in the movie.
At first I thought it was the vintage Sears D-pocket but when I saw the bomber epaulets on this jacket, I knew it’s something different. Found out later that Schott outfitted the entire film crew.
You can see the bomber epaulet on his jacket here. Never seen it on a vintage Sears D pocket before.

I wonder if the movie will be any good. Part of me wants to see it just for the jackets lol.

This is what I meant by the bomber epaulets.
If you zoom in the picture of him sitting with the director, you’ll see the epaulets are similar to the pic above. I’ve never seen a vintage Sears Dpocket having this epaulets configuration before. Or maybe I’m missing something. Schott did borrow a lot of ideas from the aviation industry back in the days though.
Yours is the later version towards the 60s when they transitioned to the Oakbrook label.
I’ve seen that bomber epaulets on the Sears map pocket though, but that jacket is built on an A2 chassis so that makes sense.
