Wow, that's pretty cool. The white zipper tape is definitely unusual. I think the sleeves might be a bit short for me, but otherwise good. I've never heard of Deck Rider .... and I am trying very hard not to chuckle at the thought of a Kiwi saying that.
This is great, thank you! Right now I’m thinking I would like the front similar to yours with slightly bigger collar. The back would have the half belt and button adjusters of the Rockafeller with a single point yoke and center gusset.
At this stage, I’m thinking maybe goat or some other...
Gotcha, yeh most black jeans are black warp and weft - finding a white weft will be trickier. Personally, I like natural fades in indo denim but prefer my black jeans to stay black. That is a definite appeal of IHs reactive dyed jeans over the usual sulfur dyes.

Thanks.
What I am thinking of is a bit shorter. A cross between the JL stock coat, Aero’s Rockefeller, the front of DonEffect’s jacket and the back of Marc’s FL Idaho:
This guy makes us look like leather newbs.
What are the odds his undies are leather. Oh God, I hope he doesn’t answer that question.

I’m in the early stages of talking around some three button car coat ideas with Damon at JL and have a few questions:
