The jacket comes with storm cuffs as standard. These are inner knitted cuffs that prevent wind and rain entering the sleeve — useful for riders and cold weather. If you prefer a clean open cuff, choose “No Storm Cuffs”.
Inside pockets can sometimes show through externally once the leather breaks in, especially on slim-fit jackets. If you still want one, choose your style below.
Same guidance as the left pocket — pockets can show through once leather breaks in, especially on slimmer jackets. Choose your preference below.

Sears and Roebuck produced various versions of the Hercules jacket between the early 1930s and at least until 1948. We’ve had a very early original version in our Archives for over 20 years, probably dating to around 1934 or 1935. As far as our research suggests, it’s the second model produced by Sears & Roebuck.
Later versions were fitted with a breast pocket which closed with looped ball and chain zipper, this option and alternative linings are available to order. We feel that the Hercules is a very special jacket that is most definitely worth recreating. We suggest our Vicenza Horsehide or our Tumbled Front Quarter Horse are the most suitable hides for this jacket.
The Original Hercules leather jacket fit is slim and neat, typical of the era. The seams are virtually all triple stitched, and the cinch belts are much lower than almost all other Half Belt varieties. A small throat latch adds to the foul weather protection. Even the label is typical of the era and, like the original, our jacket is fitted with 1930s Waldes Grommet zipper as standard.
This original leather jacket is a 1930s inspired design, although it offers a fit somewhere between a 1930s slimmer fit and 1950s relaxed fit.
This jacket’s side adjusters are closer to the hem and can be cinched in or out to achieve a more relaxed/fitted look around the hips.
We typically recommend selecting your usual size for the Original Hercules style to achieve the intended fit, or you can normally size down depending on your other measurements for a more fitted look.
