I've been wearing this one now for a day, and I'm even more impressed than what I was yesterday. It's very easy and comfortable to wear and its already starting to break in nicely with some nice grain popping up. After all I've read about LW fqhh I was expecting a beast which I will never be able to break in (although this one is only 3oz), but this one is already after one day as comfortable as a tumbled cxl fqhh from Aero. I'm starting to feel a need for a russet (or olive green) LW jacket... :)

Looks to be a daily wear jacket for sure. It's certainly a versatile style, easy to dress up or down with such clean lines. I'm looking forward to seeing how it breaks in and how the blue tones develop too. Looks great in every respect!

Here it is and I’m impressed. This thing is built to last! It’s little bit longer in body than what I expected, but I don’t mind. I like wearing my jackets bit longer than most folks around here.

I am nOt good at writing jacket reviews, but if you want to know something, feel free to ask!

Great jacket. Congrat! Now, do you know what is the thickness of LW Navy Blue HH - … oz? Did Stuart offer you options (min/max)? Or did he have only one thickness available for Navy Blue HH? I'm thinking of ordering a custom Leathertogs in Navy Blue HH with Crown zippers, not unlike the one posted on LW's website, but with a different lining color (see below). I would like 3.5-4 oz. I believe that 4.0+ oz would not be a good idea for a Leathertogs.

That one is actually mine :D
It's between 3 and 3.5 and works very well

Edit: Here is the thread

At the time I made my order Stu had only one thickness of navy and olive hh, which he said was 3 oz. For me that's really nice weight. It feels substantial but doesn't require extensive brake in period to feel wearable. Also, Please note, in real life this navy hh is darker than in that photo above of @red devil 's leather togs. At least my Suburban and rd's leather togs are made of dark navy hh. I would say that photos I took in sun light capture the colour quite well. There's also pics in rd's leather togs thread that are quite accurate. Its really dark true navy. I like it a lot, but if you're looking for a jacket that screams "BLUE" this might not be the right hide for that.

Really impressive. Red Devil - I really like yours as well. Hard to top these colors/leathers/jackets!

LW are impressive pieces all the way around.
