Breast Pocket Delete on Aero Bootlegger?

[ton312]

On my way to my first Bootlegger, I came up to this chest pocket or no chest pocket question myself.
I'd like a place to put my phone. So yes. But after looking at my Hooche, I realized that the outside slant chest pocket makes my boobs looks lopsided. And I am more of a two same size boobie guy.
So I found this thread.
This is what I mean, lopsided with outside slant chest pocket (because only one side has the pocket bag and it shows through quite easily)

I would still need a place to put my phone. And since I can't take the single boob look, my only other option is to do two inside pockets right? So they will even out.

Lost some sleep last night going down this chest pocket rabbit hole so I thought I write it out here to get it off my mind. Thanks for reading.

Has anyone ever attempted at putting in an aftermarket symmetric horizontal slant chest pocket on the inside of the other side? So on the outside there is only one chest pocket but the look of two boobs because the other side has a equal bag on the inside.

Blaze a trail and see if Aero will do pockets like those in a seven or sheene… cat eye ala Windward.
I don’t think the bootlegger is laid out for it with the main zip angle but it would be cool.

Go in knowing these pockets are essentially useless.

I went D pocket and no chest pocket on my bootlegger, no zipper on handwarmer, no inside pocket.
I am happy with that configuration, wouldn't change it.

THAt big D pocket looks great, definitely takes the place of the chest pocket, utility-wise.

Interesting ideal, though those look a lot smaller (and therefore less useful) than the standard chest pocket. The bigger chest pocket is definitely something I would see as a plus on a jacket I'd otherwise feel the certain need of an inside pocket in. Depends what you carry, of course - I don't much like having too much in my trousers if UI can avoid it, though that is at least in part down to spending a lot of time in crowded areas and public transport where that can cause the obvious vulnerabilities.

I'd love to know if anyone has ever had a Bootlegger with no zip on the chest pocket. As memory serves, at one time around 2009ish that was actually to official default norm, though I don't think I've ever seen one without it? I quite likethe idea of having maybe one jacket with an open chest pocket just for the difference, but I'm curious about whether an angled one would work. Great place to stow gloves.

Cats eye design looks awesome. Exactly the symmetry I would look for in an asymmetric jacket.
It’s got real nice lapels too. like the ones on the Bird of Prey jacket.

I have chest pockets on my custom J106 MC jackets (one in blue vicenza, one in black badalassi, one in goat suede) - aka Ridley aka custom Hooch Hauler - but for all of these I asked them to make it deeper, so it can easily take my iPhone. The default size of the pocket is pretty useless, but on the custom version I find it v useful.

Awesome!
