I have never heard of a Hercules Leather Co from London, England, so no idea what quality it is, but it sure looks nice. Good thing it's too small for me.

It's interesting that you mention that English-made Hercules. I found this listing for a German "Hercules" (same seller) a while back:

As for the one you linked to, it appears waaaaaaaay too shiny for my taste. Almost like a glossy gym floor.

Yes, but that doesn't matter much; it will age and patina. Half the time I think sellers apply a light coat of dressing to their jackets to make them photograph nicer, too.
