I have just received my Hughes jacket from Magnoli Clothiers and inspected it and tried it on. First impression was the smell of the leather, superbe quality leather and suppleness. Having tried it on the fit is excellent and the quality of workmanship is truly first class. I think this one is going to get plenty of wear. I hesitated ordering at first because of potential problems being difficult to resolve half way around the world, this proved to be a non starter as everything was in perfect order. Thank you from a very satisfied customer...

Having owned this jacket for the better part of a year now, I have to conclude that it is clearly the best (clothing) investment I have made. It serves me admirably as an (almost) every day jacket, and, although that might be a bit shallow, I have actually grown quite attached to the jacket. Having ordered it a tad-bit longer than the prototype in the pictures, or the jacket in the movie, it is quite practical, as well as still rather pleasing to the eye. Workmanship is excellent, leather quality superb. Although I might sound like I am fawning, it really is that good!..

My quest for the Howard jacket began a little over a year ago when it caught my eye on a well known actor. Since then I've searched long and far through various businesses and private listings looking for the elusive garment. Eventually I came into contact with Indy, who did me one better than just selling me the jacket; he made it custom to my specifications. Indy worked very cooperatively with me for a period of weeks, and the results are very clear in the jacket which I now possess, which I can honestly say is the best jacket I've ever owned. It's wonderful to have a unique piece of art that is also very well made & adapted to my body. I went for the delux veg-tanned cowhide (The product image is my jacket) and I'm very pleased with the consistency of the leather. I've had a number of lambskin jackets in the past but they would break apart quite fast; I have also had cow hide jackets that last but are not as supple. This special leather is a good compromise which provides a sturdy feel, but is also quite soft. The buttons he chose for the jacket are also quite perfect and well made. The best part about the Howard jacket seems to be the number of ways it can be worn. There are 3 basic variations (open, half open, fully buttoned) but a few different ways of wearing it half opened which can give it a more relaxed or neat look. This is also nice because you can adapt it somewhat for warmer or cooler temperatures (the jacket fully buttoned is pretty warm even though it doesnt have a heavy lining). I would say you can wear this casually day to day (as I do) or for more formal occasions...
