So I had this jacket roll in a few days ago and I look forward to wearing it, unfortunately receiving a new jacket in spring/summer where temperatures are high is a bummer. So I basically have no experience with this besides a few try on's. With that said im very pleased with it. I anticipate it being a pleasure to watch it develop into a friend as it conforms to me an reveals its character. Everything you expect from lost worlds is present stitching, construction, and execution is next to flawless. The pattern is comfortable but not loose. I always slowly adjust the side tabs as the jacket breaks in so I can dial in a preferable waist tightness. The sleeves don't ride at all when the arms stretch forward and I like that feeling. I added a collar to the buco ryder and changed the front pocket configuration from the d pocket to two slash pockets (j-100). I left the back alone. I love l.w. silky flight nylon lining so thats in side (standard on b.r.). I usually get crown zippers -at least the main zipper. But I did something different here and I like it. I got brass diamond chain pulls for chest pocket. So on the main I got a triple marked talon #10 that is oxidized so its brass with a blac/grey coat that will fade back to brass, - the pull and teeth-The pocket/sleeve zippers are also oxidized talon bells. Something unique to watch as the jacket ages. They appear nickel in some pics but not that light in person
