I know! I give myself headaches once I start compiling a hit list....it's endless. The best I can do is try to prioritise, and then then the leather/ lining choices come into it and it just gets worse.....
Gday Benny, I'm looking at one with Alpaca. Originally I was going to go for a funky tartan, but I'm gravitating towards keeping the alpaca, makes for a decent winter jacket. I just have no point of reference for how warm warm is? It's like I had heard heaps about how heavy and stiff the fqhh...
I know with the Buco d pockets it was fairly normal to have mixed hardware, and it looks great, and is period correct. I'm also reliably informed that the original Buco j-100 style always had a nickel snap, regardless of the zips etc used. I'm pretty sure that's right, someone with more...

I actually had the Aero letterman in green with brown horse sleeves, no collar. It was my first Aero, a good Ebay pick up. Moved it on some time ago to fund another jacket. I've always liked the Melton wool, and the nice dark green is one of my fave colours.
Yes, I googled it, and Lo and behold, it led me straight back here. Sent WDW a PM. He loves his, and has said he has just started getting a fair bit of use out of it. I like the green and brown. I'm actually surprised at the lack of love in the comments. I'm happy to hear people's opinions, just...
