I'm one of those who's still trying to figure that out. :D

The price tags usually just said "HML FLAP" or something like that but to me is a Hamptons-style buckle and those styles were outlet-only and the Hampton line by that time was mainly an outlet line. I just figured HML was Hamptons Leather. I had the same style in dark green and the receipt was just abbreviated HML.

I'd love to hear more opinions, and to see some photos showing the actual name since I've never actually seen the full name "Hamilton" used anywhere by Coach. But I'll probably keep calling them Hamptons, just because I'm stubborn.

Assuming these 2 listings for Hamilton Flaps are authentic, both made in 2008 around the same time frame, then it would stand to reason that 12606 would be a Hampton Flap. I doubt Coach would run 2 styles with the same name in the same year.

Yet again, I also notice that model 13085 and 13957 were both run in 2009 and are both referred to as Hamilton Flaps............... I'm more confused now than ever. Opinions and/or thoughts??

If it helps, my Hamptons Weekend bag has it abbreviated as HMW on the tag, so HML could stand for Hamptons Leather. Just because a seller refers to it as Hamilton doesn't make it true.

True enough. Can you clarify the correct name and style #'s for 13085 & 13957. They pop up all the time, but it would be nice to correctly identify them in the future. Thanks for your help.

I am almost positive they were never called Hamiltons. You'll notice no one makes that mistake with the fabric version. If there was never a full price version, there wouldn't be a catalog available with the official name. IMO, they were called Hampton's Leather Flaps.
