Hope I am putting this in the appropriate thread. If not, apologies. This is the label of a jacket I acquired. I've seen some older posts concerning Natal/Natel. Am not sure if anyone ever solved the mystery of who made these jackets. This jacket was purchased at Kelly's Leather Works in Chicago, who I believed closed within the past few years. I'll try to post some photos of the jacket.

'Here is the Natel jacket. I am a bigger guy, so my jackets are not going to look as sexy as many on this forum. It is like brand new. Paid $100 for it. Would appreciate any feedback on this brand and whether it was a good purchase in the eyes of the experts. Many thanks!

Brilliant! The color looks better! Did you oil/ condition it? I too am sporting the star-cardia again today. I hot watered the collar and clipped it so it lays flat. Will repeat after I get home from the store. This one feels much more 70’s with this collar, which may require a pilots license to wear. LOL.

^^About as perfect a HWM fit as I've ever seen...

Great grain in that leather popping very nicely as well.
The jackets doing all the work, all I have to do is wear it! When I slipped it on the first time, it felt like it was made for me. Fit better than the one actually made for me. Serendipitous and another reason the TFL is such a great/addictive/entertaining/insert positive adjective place.
