I often debate with myself about who makes/made the best CR pattern. All the usual suspects, most of which I’ve owned, come to mind. Cal, Brooks, Buco, Bates…but the one I haven’t owned (not the single pocket version anyway) is the HD sportster. I think that’s the pinnacle of CR design. Everything a CR is meant to be and not one single ounce more. Superb!

It lives up to the hype. I really like the Brooks, but wasn't a fan of the back (Kehoe same issue). Also the leather, while really nice for $100, still felt high end mall.

The HD is legit good leather. No action back, no gussets, super clean.

@Will Zach had this hiding from us lol. It's in really great condition.
