Rarely is a historical leather jacket so perfectly designed that we decline to update the pattern for contemporary wearers.

• This pattern, provided to us by legendary artisan John Chapman, is the exception to the rule. The design is a sublime combination of hardwearing American innovation, and the decorative arcs and curves of European examples—a “best of both worlds” design ethos typical to Himel work.
  
  The Imperial is a great first jacket, a fantastic daily wearer. The traditional collar and trim fit look good on any figure, and the zip front is durable and convenient. Check out the video tab above for a deeper look into what makes the Imperial fit for a king.
