Planned Sunburst in Seal Goatskin

Anyone got a Sunburst? What would you leave out or recommend? Suggestions welcome.

Not yet, though funnily enough I've been planning a SB in *russet* goat since they first launched that design. I think contrast stitching looks great on the SB. For seal, I'd consider olive drab stitching; I have an Aero A2 with OD stitching on seal goat; it's subtle until you notice it, then once you do it just suddenly pops. Red would also be a good choice, imo. For lining, I'd go for drill cotton in whichever colour patches the stitching you choose. I've also always wondered how the SB would look with a button front, actually....

I was also thinking buttons. If it went wrong, though...

I like the idea of olive stitching, or even a mid-brown.

If you'rte keen on buttons, talk to Denny - he'll fill you in on what can and can't be done. Aero are much tighter post-2012 with custom stuff - if it's too much of a deviation or they know it won't work, they won't do it. Should work out fine. FWIW, Simon of SJC had them make him a..... thin it was a Hercules a couple of years ago, with a button front. Turned out really nice.

I changed the handwarmer pockets to a Halfbelt angle and got an August collar on mine.
