I know exactly what you mean and good for you for taking the longer route, but I find it's hard to sometimes resist, say, giving it just that extra little scrape when you're leaning against a brick wall waiting for an elevator, or scraping an edge with your thumbnail when no one's looking. I always feel a bit guilty about that, but, I don't know, I'm weak.

Couldn't agree more...for me the toned down, less fussy style of the bootlegger makes it much easier to wear...that said I LOVE the j-106 as well but couldn't get the daily use I get out of the bootlegger...My bootlegger is close to a Ridley in the front, with zip down hand warmers...This looks great. I love the D-Pockets, but don't feel I could pull one off. The Bootlegger seems like a conservative version of a D-pocket - of course, bypassing the D-pocket at all. I could wear a bootlegger and not feel self-conscious.
I love the Aero Ridley with the removable mouton collar, but wondered if the coat itself was too flashy. Maybe a Premier fit Bootlegger with removable mouton collar would be a nice substitute?

I probably have 25 or so jackets of varying materials and quality, but if the house was burning down and I could only carry two things, I think these would be them:

Since its only about 40 outside...happy to oblige! I'm loving the color development on this jacket and I'm hoping the midnight blue acts in kind!Happenin' dude. It probably looks so much better now after some wear too. Post some new fit pics if you get the chance!
I saw somewhere at SF, there is a jacket+ built in backpack combo .
