What could this jacket be?

[Highwaymanman]

Came across this no name special on fleabay and immedietely wondered about its provenance. It looks like a pretty accurate HWM copy although I'd wager not a relined Aero. The leather looks a little like the famed Connelly steerhide. Anyone have any idea what it could be?

It's what you sit on when you ride in a Rolls.

Used to be anyway, now long gone; and not just Rollers either. I had it in my Jags years ago. I used Connolly Hide Food on the seats and still do on jackets now. It's still made to the same formula by a different company which bought the rights when Connelly went bust.

My mother says that Hide Food actually repaired cracks and rips in their old car seats! Awesome stuff...

Can I user Connoly Food on other leathers?
