Ah, damn. Then I'm out, sorry.

Add me to the list interested in the burgundy basically as pictured. Not crazy about the gray sleeves, and the zipper is growing on me.

I could definitely do the all burgundy one pictured with a double zipper front, as long as the pocket zips were dispensed with.

It's not rocket science, in the initial poll, snaps won.

I voted zipper too but if snaps was the far and away winner, there is no point in making one of the final three a zip, since more people are willing to buy snaps. You would be essentially wasting a variation on a jacket that inherently, less people wanted

I won't be buying so take this as advice I suppose...

stay away from white leather sleeves. my class jacket from high school has white sleeves and was a pain ********** to keep clean.

I voted "other" in this poll. I'd like an all-burgundy jacket. I like the look of an all one color jacket. At least for the sake of this build. Other others look too high school. FWIW, I voted snaps in the original poll, but I'd take the burgundy jacket as is, as long as the pocket zips went. That would pretty much be my ideal.

+1 Wtf happened to the burgundy wool body, burgundy leather sleeve combo? Lots of people spoke up for it in the last thread... Zips would be nice, but I could live with snaps/ buttons. Burgundy/grey is such a boring combo, looks lifeless. More people (other than myself) spoke for the combo in that picture than the combo it was changed to in this thread. Is there any way to get this back into the running, I'm sure it would be very popular by the specific mentions in thread already. Is there any way get this back?.. Otherwise I'll probably be out.

+1 on this. a lot of people thought burgundy/burgundy would be better than burgundy/gray

Read these Skookum threads, whole thing kicks ass, like all the jackets.

I wear H&M slim fit button downs in Small. What are the odds I'll be able to wear one of these jackets? I can probably gift it if it doesn't fit, I guess.
