I feel the D pocket will literally be on my flank side, way to far to the side of my left rib for my right hand to reach. The only person who...
I thought about that, but for the record, I did have several photographic emails with Scott illustration various vintage D pocket jackets, the only thing I didn't do is to say it out loud: look the D pockets are all somewhat facing and near the center ling/main zip, and, the death head one is...
