Wow is that brown satin? Looks delicioso
I asked for wine sateen, and this is what I got. I think it's brown sateen. It looks really nice in person, and the jacket slip on and off with ease

That was a smart move. The only little change I wish I could make to my 50's HDB. With a heavy cotton or canvas shirt on in the winter, the drill sleeves are a b*tch to get arms through. Jansolo told me to do it and I forgot...Wow is that brown satin? Looks delicioso
I really like the cordovan color. By the way: I often heard that the leather will bleed, when the jacket is new.
Do you have any experience with that?

Well, the drill is a little challenging to me. I'd have done one or the other - no experience myself with double linings. And the 30's design being slimmer, I'd say get the shiny stuff. Maybe others have opinions on the double-lining. I think Jansolo recommended that to me once. I def should have got it in the sleeves...Hello Scott, I just ordered a 30's HB and I went with the Cotton-Drill lining. Should the sleeves have the Drill lining and the Sateen over them, or just the Sateen lining alone? Thanks - Paul

Paul - Scott is right on about the satin sleeves. I've got drill throughout and it's the only thing I'd change on my LHB. Frank
I've put in for my own LHB, influenced by your good taste, Seawolf, really liked it. I went for a brown FQHH with the slimmer Japanese configuration, but I've kept the bi-wing back - I liked the detail - and added an inch on to the bottom. I've also stuck with the storm cuffs, just for warmth's sake, and I'm going to add a detachable mouton collar for a bit of extra insulation. Hope your jacket is wearing as well as it looks here!
