Thank you... just wondering if it would be a solution to the outline showing through after break-in... specially if placed behind an exterior breast pocket.
Decisions decisions...

Anything's possible.... Personally, I prefer the G1 type pocket because they're easier to get at when the jacket is on (especially with a neat fitting jacket like a 30s Halfbelt), and won't sag.... The drawback with any pocket in the lining of a jacket is that with time it can sag a bit, which won't happen, imo, when the opening is located in the leather facing. All depends on what you prefer, really...

This Aero J106 in Brown Steerhide looks great...shipping to customer...

 

[Tarwater]

I love that j106. Dammit I may need one in brown.

^^^ Or the black and brown two-tone.

 

[Grayland]

One of each you enabling bastards!

If a D-pocket isn't your style, here's a beautiful Aero J107 that recently came through!

I'm really starting to like the look of back yoke on a J106

 

[Tarwater]

^^^ Or the black and brown two-tone.

That's never worked for me. I've seen it look good on someone else on occasion but I find I'm either having a black day or brown. My fit jacket was two-tone. Well done but not for me.

Maybe it's the mask.....

 

[Tarwater]

Perhaps something a bit bolder? Oh, the pitfalls of accessorizing.

 

[IXL]

^^^ Now that's funny!! In all seriousness, I'm having a hard time choosing between the two-tone, and an all-brown J106, but either way it will have all brass hardware.

Any chance we can get fit picks of this? I love wool jackets.

Hey Carrie - What is the leather on this Aero August? It seems lighter than the tumbled brown in the other photos.

For now, we're calling this the Battered Tan...it's approximately 2.5 oz., which is just a tad lighter than the standard front quarter horsehide...
