I see it's up there already. Any misgivings about AL and Will aside, I'm afraid that jacket just looks horribly off to me compared to Belstaff's Panther: the pockets look far too square and over-sized, and without the shoulder detail and the dirt racer collar replaced with a standard cord one, it looks more like some strange Barbour experiment. I appreciate that copyright issues mean that it such compromises are necessary and I have no doubt it'll be well made, but on this occasion it seems to be at the expense of aesthetics.
Yes, I saw that one myself. I figured it was an "inspired by" rather than a serious effort to replicate the original design. I'm not sure how far copyright would subsist inthe Belstaff design any more, given how many different companies each have their own iteration of it.
