Now yer talkin..!!
If you look at Hpaladog's new 20s Simmons Cossack on the Aeromarine/Simmons thread, it's got pockets just like MM's, so it'd fit with the vintage design.
My word! I hadn't seen that one when I was doing the mods to the Aeromarine. So with a bit of synchronicity, and alot of input from fellow FLers, it turned out quite well... I especially like Edward's suggestion of the buttons & loops on the pockets
The LVC one looks just a tad longer in the body than the Aero, and has strange button spacing at the neck.
If it makes it into production: I'd ask for a design credit: The Double M, perhaps?

I'd like to see this design rendered in wool too.... may be with leather trim around points of wear (collar, cuffs, bottom edge, pocket openings.....). Really hoping that's an end of the range Aero continue to expand. Partly I just really like it, partly it's a bit more affordable than full leather these days!
Edward,That is really nice. Is it vintage or a Japanese repro?
Wool is what I'm gunning for too...
Edward,
US made in San Francisco by Golden Bear in a collaboration with Unionmade. They have only a few more in this color; unfortunately, not my size. Are around $400. Buzz Rickson made a pattern pretty similar to this, but I think I prefer this one. I contacted both Unionmade and Golden Bear about more stock, but I'm afraid this was a one time run. Maybe with all the chatter on these boards re shawl collar jackets, they'll re-up
