I have a Mariner coming to help with the Shanghai winter. I began selling or giving away ones I no longer wear a couple of years ago. I certainly don't intend to buy any other leather jackets. I think that I've probably burnt out on the process. I have noticed that a lot of friends started...
On the 'usual' shawl collar jackets, how useful are the patch pockets? I'm thinking that I may not be able to go the 'long coat' look in tan, etc., but I also don't want to get just another jacket with slash pockets. Huh, I like the way that I can think myself out of this :)
I am, in a persistent madness, considering a Statesman in a camel/tan colour, shortened by two inches. It would be fantastic in the winter here. If it can go from being 31 inches to 29 inches in length, it'll work.
Now that I'm overseas again, I can order another one. That's how it works...
These are great. Mr. Proper's photos - as usual - are great. I'm working on an SB V2 in Blattwerk Mahogany with a few minor alterations- it'll be about 26 inches with horizontal slash pockets.
If any Floungers have pictures of these they'd like to post, I'd be fascinated. I'm thinking of getting a button front jacket with a shawl collar- in particular, what pocket arrangements have people experimented with and how have they worked out?
