The name “LL Jacket” derives from Lakeland Manufacturing, of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, founded by Herman J. Holman. Today, the LL Jacket draws inspiration from vintage Lakeland Mfg. Bomber jackets. Designer Daiki Suzuki retains key elements from the original garments, such as the knit cuffs, hem, and roll collar, along with the neck tab. Modern updates include the elimination of a rear pleat, the addition of a signature EG snap near the hem closure, and adjusted proportions for a wider fit. 

This jacket not only reflects a rich heritage but also adapts historical details for contemporary fashion. In essence, the LL Jacket is a tribute to the resilience and ingenuity of Lakeland Manufacturing. It celebrates a legacy of craftsmanship and style, bridging the past and present in the innovative designs of Engineered Garments.
