Thanks for this- I like the chest flap and am beginning to consider (read: spending inordinate periods of time) one of these in battered tan if I can shift some others (apocalypse notwithstanding). It looks like a similar cut to the Maxwell.

I'm also interested in photos. I'm keen on the idea of one of these myself; I like the idea of the zipless top pocket for tucking gloves and such into.

I have a seal jerky HH Mulligan and a black goatskin Maxwell. The basic patterns for both are the same. I ordered both jackets without chest pockets and am glad I did. I wish I had ordered a vertical inside pocket without closure on both jackets.
Do you have any photos of the seal jerky Mulligan? Looking at getting a seal jerky mulligan or maxwell so super keen to see one in the wild.

Thanks for posting that. The jerky looks grainy but colourwise pretty consistent. Also the drape looks like a mid-weight leather.
At the time I bought my Mulligan, Vicenza leather was not available. Subsequently I bought two Sheenes with Vicenza (russet and black) that has a far superior look, hand and drape to jerky HH. I strongly prefer Vicenza over just about any other Aero leather that is well worth the up charge and then some. If I had it to do over again I would order my Mulligan with seal Vicanza HH. I would still leave off the chest flap pocket but would add one vertical inside pocket without closure in the leather facing on the left side (I am right handed) if I had it to do again.

Yes! re: vertical inside pocket without closure. After my J-106, it feels like a battered tan Mulligan would be the perfect "suit jacket" leather for all those non J-106 days. Also, as much as I love the cxl dfhh, a slightly lighter jacket is appealing--not from a break-in perspective, just literally from a weight perspective.

Does anyone have some fit-pics of the mulligan? I got a custom J-106 in natural cxl last year, but I'm considering getting one formal jacket for when the J-106 just isn't exactly right--thinking about the Mulligan in battered tan, olive stitching, olive drill lining, split cuffs so i can slide up my sleeves when working, and two inside breast pockets like a suit jacket.

Still interested in fit pics of the Mulligan!

Also, it seems that it's been removed from the standard lineup of jackets? If I get a windfall, this still seems like the jacket one could wear more formally, as opposed to my J-106 and Type III...

Someone mentioned that the patterns for both Mulligan and Maxwell are the same (would need to confirm with Aero). There are definitely Maxwell fit pics floating around the net - I even gathered a collection of them if you're interested.
Personally as a more formal jacket I'd get a Maxwell or even a Moonshiner (more mobility).

I think a Mulligan or a Maxwell in mid-weight brown HH would be great. My cordovan Maxwell is a fantastic jacket. A similar style (although different fit and very different back design) is SB's Klondike: I have one in black goat and it would also be a fine thing in a heavier mid-weight hide. Aero 1920s Work Coat also worth considering, although it would be better (IMHO) with a softer and more rounded collar. Photo on 16-9-2022 at 5.24 PM.jpg Photo on 12-3-2023 at 10.09 AM.jpg

I appreciate the Maxwell, but I like the pocket on the Mulligan--I guess when I mean formal, I do mean more formal than my J106 and Type III, but still "worky," i.e., maybe a Type I or Type II feel, or like the formal-yet-work-attire of 100 years ago. Hence the horizontal pockets, where one might actually store things while working...
