Layers we chose for breezy evenings and cool days on the Outer Banks.
WHY SCULLY MADE THE CUT
An American leather house, since 1906.
Scully has been making leather for more than a century: flight jackets and helmets for pilots in both World Wars, and gear for Admiral Byrd's Antarctic expedition. A few of those pieces now sit in the Smithsonian.
It made our cut because the family is still at it, four generations in, and because the modern side of the line is the one we wanted: quilted leather vests, suede jackets and leather travel goods for him, motos and ribbed leather for her.
- Since 1906 Well into its second century, now in its fourth generation.
- Built for pilots Flight jackets and helmets for WWI and WWII aviators.
- In the Smithsonian Scully pieces are displayed there and at Seattle's Museum of Flight.
- Leather people Jackets, bags, travel and business goods, all from one house.
WHY MAURITIUS MADE THE CUT
The leather jacket, done properly.
Mauritius is a real leather house, founded around 1975 in Lingen, Germany by leather maker Jurgen Raberg and still run by his children. It is not a fashion label buying blank jackets, and that shows up in the hand-feel.
It made our cut for the quality-to-price ratio: butter-soft lambskin and suede at a price that is hard to beat. All of the leather is a by-product of the meat industry, with no exotic skins, and production is audited under the BSCI social-compliance code.
- Founded around 1975 By leather maker Jurgen Raberg in Lingen, Germany.
- Family-run Now led by his children, Christian and Katrin Raberg.
- Europe's leather house Produces for many labels; Mauritius is their own line.
- Quality plus price Unmatched quality control at a deliberately fair price.
