Here's a jacket a good friend of mine had made by Aero last year.
Based on a Lee 101J, and made from split cowhide from an old LVC contract...

That would result in a third layer of leather over the pocket. That might be an issue with FQHH. But I see what you're saying. In all honesty, I'm not a stickler for historical details in outerwear like I know some folks are, so the V inserts stopping at the pocket isn't a huge deal to me. I think it looks good both ways.
I saw that on ebay, just a bit too small for me, or I would have bought it....very substantial leather isn't it? Maybe too much for that design. Lovely all the same.Here is a Lost Worlds. I bought and sold this jacket. It is a size 46 and I wear a 44. I wanted to make it work because I like this style. Just too big as the fit pics show. I own three other LW jackets. This leather on this one was just too thick. I like the look of the Aero.

I think that leather overwhelms the design.
Sorry about the weird selfies. It's hard to get a good shot without bringing the camera to the eye which would mess with the fit. Anyway, I hope they're helpful.
