The dreaded inside pocket question
One alternative would be to have the pocket fitted to the lining like on the VDR ( sort of like a suit jacket pocket rather than a "G-1 style" ???- Plumbline

horsehide jacket - how long to break-in?
I've always had inner pockets ( usually both sides) and to be honest have never really had them show on anything but brown FQHH jackets ( for some reason) ! The steerhide is a little thicker and tends to mask it and also the black and cordovan jackets show less. TBH every brown jacket I've had...- Plumbline

Got 3 M-65's ... an original 1960's one and 2 Alpha repro's one black one green and all with liners ( all of which are GREAT ).

30 seconds won't even get it damp man ...

let's talk about shaping collars with HWT
Hey Schitzo, If it's CXL Horween steer then use hot water ( not boiling but hot .. dish washing temp) ... If you are soaking the whole jacket make sure you don't have tartan lining ( which is wool and will shrink) ..... if you have tartan lining use cold water. The last one I did I put it...- Plumbline
