The basic essential 3/4 length (mid-thigh) classic LOST WORLDS Leather Car Coat in the much in vogue contemporary style evoking 1950s-60s designs. For work, play and dressier excursions. The DOWNTOWN is characteristically refined, built to endure seemingly forever (while increasing in beauty and comfort all the while), in very stout, unparalleled Chrome-Tanned Front Quarter Horsehide. A far cry from the flimsy thrift shop, slacker knockoffs that have come to epitomize the so-called "grunge" look. Or the raglan-sleeve designer lambskin jobs for Sopranos wannebes.

What to do in our DOWNTOWN when it rains? Rush outside, get drenched. Best thing in the world to soften and articulate our horsehides. Truly. We're not like everybody else (good Kinks song). We're like things the way they used to be, when outerwear needed to perform, not just look like the flavor-of-the-month for stubbly effeminates.

Our DOWNTOWN is for those who want the right look but also the mind-blowing quality and matchless distinctiveness and exclusivity of a LOST WORLDS Jacket, the best there is. Possibly the best there ever was -- but you be the judge. All we know is that no one had a better-made leather jacket. Customers are amazed. The richness and unique presence of our coats come across a bit in the pictures above. Cool 'n' stout. 

Classic styling for classicists -- would that there were more of you!
