Here's where the current design input came from:
Basic pocket design - Edward
Curved pockets - Sir Jacket
Button & loop fastening - Edward
Angle of pockets - Hoosierdaddy
+1 And you could have a cloth version: the Aerominor.
Thanks, Major, but may I modestly suggest that it was I who also pushed for the idea of handwarmers in the first.
Let us PLEASE not derail this thread with lengthy discussion over whose idea what was. We got some good creative mojo flowin at the moment that I don't want to dry up!!
I think it's all been great. I generally hate design by committee, but this has been really constructive.
I warn you now: there would be some pretty hard rules about trouser cuffing.
OK, here's both the curved pocket versions - one more horizontal than the other. Take your pick
I would happily stop with the two insert pockets - that's a really good, clean looking jacket. Ladies and gents, introducing the Double M! Or perhaps, The Lounger :eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap *Edit: actually, I'm sure this could be messed with endlessly. There's something about the jacket front that lends itself to it.

The King James Bible was written by a committee and that turned out to be fairly successful.
As they say "a camel is a horse designed by committee".
No, I wasn't drawing that analogy - would not want to offend anyone in here - and you're absolutely right, the KJB is lovely artefact. But can you imagine if they tried to do the same thing with a modern committee: "Okay, first up on the agenda: the seven deadly sins and the 10 commandments. Here's my thinking: on the second one, let's just boil it down to a single mission statement, with the first, we need something tweetable, otherwise it'll never fly. Right, who wants to open the blue skying?"
Just teasing.
Maj, don't like any of those nearly as much as the Aeromarine that you recently acquired.
I'd certainly stick with the hide you've got MM. I suppose I prefer the hand-warmers, but to me it's all about that shawl collar and the A-1 fit.
You need this jacket:Pioneer, 36.I think russet, battered brown or cream, in that order. Having looked at it, the latter, I think, commends itself with a certain old world Hollywood sophistication.
