Whoa this b-3/d-pocket is definitely the coolest of this style I’ve ever seen.

From Thedi’s IG. His take on a B3. I like this a lot.

Thanks. I missed that very interesting thread. It looks like Thedi decided not to keep it a one-off. Very cool.

I think it looks cool. Might be hyped and overpriced though

The buffalo version is really cool, seems to have a similar lining to mine





Edit: this one is bull hide, I do think it will be happy to have a cousin in Buffalo from Jelado

What a grain. The leather me of my SB Horween Bison I sold a couple of years ago....reason was as I couldn’t tame the thick and heavy almost 5oz beast.

I actually just picked one up.

I have a similar one from South Paradiso but it fits me a tad tight through the arms. Id be willing to move it if the jelado one fits a little better. Just throwing it out there. I think this would fit a true 42 pretty well

Ha! One size too small. Have to say: 50% regret, 50% relief...

Cool piece!

Found out about them after someone posted an interesting jacket in the classifieds. Really like a lot of their stuff. They also do 40s style wool sport jackets.

Seems like some of their offerings are (or were?) made in Pakistan rather than Italy. I’d be curious what the deal is there.

Hi MrFrown,

I’m Marco co-founder of Shangri-La Heritage, nice to meet you.

I already replied to the other thread because I wanted to shed some light on the points touched in that discussion regarding our jackets.

Those made in Pakistan jackets are actually the first samples ever made for Shangri-La Heritage, we met these manufacturers in a leather trade show in Italy back in 2016 when Daniel (the other co-founder of Shangri-La Heritage) and I didn’t have a clear idea of which characteristics our products should have had, we didn’t have a company, we didn’t have an e-commerce...

We talked to them and we wanted to see how they worked, so we ordered a bunch of jackets as samples. When the jackets arrived they were actually good, we sent them to the first retailers we contacted at that time because we needed to get some feedback.

In the meantime we figured out better how we wanted our products to be and which kind of values we wanted to deliver with Shangri-La Heritage, so we ditched the Pakistani and we kept looking for Italian workshops that could produce our jackets, and eventually we found it. Since then, every leather jacket we make is Hand Made in Italy in a family run workshop in Lecco, Northern Italy.

You can see the actual people that work there following this link https://www.shangrilaheritage.it/craftsmanship/ and I would be more then happy to make whoever of you guys wants to visit the workshop, it’s address is: C.so Emanuele Filiberto 74, 23900 Lecco (Italy).

Please let me know if you need more information!

Cheers,

Marco

Sarebbe veramente un piacere di visitare il workshop

I would love to go when travel is easier. It is about an hour from Malpensa as far as I can see.
