Wow, I would have thought those are RRL’s stitching design on the chest pockets.

The stitching is what attracted me to this guy. I love the contrasting thread and the pocket decorations are really great.


Super nice Type III - Top Drawer for sure. Love hide color and contrast stitching along with the pocket embroidery and copper (or brass?) buttons. Could you provide the source for this acquisition? TIA.
This is from a brand called Veluokldly. I bought it second hand so I don't know where you can get it. Also problematic is that the brand uses a number of makers so I am not 100% sure which one this is. However, I do believe it is Tailor Brando because I saw the exact model offered for a hot minute on his website (gone now though):

There's a lot of discussion about both Veluokldly and Tailor Brando on the Chinese Leather Jackets thread:

All I did was have it made to measurements so im guessing it’s standard

Thank you.

Interesting. I would have thought, this was very much restricted to the OG Herc. My Primo HWM don’t (or didn’t) have it, but I shall revisit some older photos.

Nice feature, in any event!

I’ve never actually worn this guy. Made it this summer, super buttery 2.5-3oz Italian cowhide. Color is very nice, and even though it’s growing on me, it may end up in the classifieds along with a brown two-tone as I tend to never wear anything other than black leather..
Beautiful! Another winner in style and color. I'm partial to tan/orange for some reason and find this jacket especially appealing. You are quite skilled in crafting these one-off jackets and I noticed your hands/cuticles/nails so no signs of injury that I assume would be expected when assembling these heirloom pieces.

Hey thanks! Well, I learned to be very careful with tools in my early days as a finish carpenter… 14 stitches on the back of the hand and nailing two fingers together will teach some valuable lessons in safety and hand placement, haha. Whenever I’m hand stitching a sheath or holster, I do usually end up bleeding somehow.

I want to say that my Primo hwm did have a mild front drop also. It was made circa 2022. My standard hwm definitely did not.

Ah, a finish carpenter - very detail oriented with patience that is reflected in your outerwear presentations. No doubt your woodworking skills prepared you for this latest talent.

I believe the brand/seller would be Tailor Brando while Veluokldly would be the maker. Tailor Brando jut resells from different makers.

Oh jeez, I'm so confused. I did try to follow the Chinese jackets thread and it was all very garbled to me but I was slowly untangling it and then the tariff wars hit and I just gave up.

I like this jacket very much, though, whoever made it.

It's convoluted with so many names and obscurity around it :p I have a half belt from that same maker and I get tons of compliments when wearing it.
